  Between Horror and Heaven

  by Glander in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  (or, how i grew up in 1950s california in a dysfunctional family that belonged to an end of the world religious cult.).

  ill try to keep it brief, strain out the more tasty morsels from which you can deduce the sense of the broth they come from.. the family unit in those days consisted of dad, mom, me and my younger sister, bizzy bee.

  we were not lower middle class, we were poor.

  Sounds like an Erskine Caldwell novel, Gregor, except that you went for real through that life. Has this type of experience hardened you or made you a sympathizing person to others' misery ? I'm not judging I would understand either way.

  i did'nt like the convention (no surprice), but what do i hate the drama on saturday.

  a shocking inside look in a jw perfect family.

  the solution of their problems are stupid.

  This report makes me think that this drama may have been written by a conscious class JW who wants parents to come to their senses and realise how inadequate the WTS is to train their youngsters to tackle the real problems they will have to face in their lifes.

  When did you first start using the internet? How has it changed your life?

  by JimmyPage in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i ask this because an article on msn said that the internet is now 20 years old.

  i don't really remember it being used much until around 1995.. i didn't have the internet until around 2001.. i had some great experiences with the opposite sex in large part because of the internet.. obviously it changed my life when i started lurking here.. and social network has helped me get back in touch with relatives, schoolmates, former jws, and people i used to work with.. all in all, i love it!.

  so when did you start using it, and how has it changed your life?.

  As far as getting to know the reality of the WTS, the internet (since about 2004) really changed everything, since it helped me formalise and give foundation to opinions which until then had lacked factual evidences. It was quite easy, I really admire those who broke free before the internet era.

  Grace,

  I may check in more like a lurker now, I always enjoy seing that you are still present. If you feel that you need an e-break, hopefully temporary, by all means take it, but be sure that many on here like you and enjoy reading your commentaries. First of all, I do wish you healthy peaceful days.

  here's an excerpt from this weeks watchtower study in 1950: .

  *** w50 6/15 p. 180 a victory dedicated to jehovahs honor ***.

  the strategy, and the attack.

  I guess one could precisely link the erosion of the mags writing quality to the death of Harry PELOYAN, once a heavy weight within the WTS writing department

  You people fail to understand that THE WHOLE WORLD have their eyes riveted to Jehovah's organisation and that the WTS is at the very core of the crucial contest between Good and Evil, not only in the face of this earth but before watching angels and the whole universe as well.

  Whatever happened to Narkissos?

  by tenyearsafter in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i just happened upon one of his posts, and i realized i hadn't seen him post in over a year.

  i really enjoyed his insightful comments and scholarly knowledge.

  he and leolaia could always contribute to those difficult biblical questions that really required a knowledge of the languages and history of biblical times.

  Woke up at 9.30, no preaching work to think about today, just like in the latest 3 years actually. Went for the part of WE chores which falls to my share within the family, i.e. going shopping, while wifey was cooking sort of duck stew, we all licked our fingers at lunch. Waiting for her to wake up from her siesta, we'll go outside for some outdoor work afterward. Tomorrow is bank holiday in France, great.
