what was your journey here like?

for me i have gone a long way, when i came here i loathed typing long posts, and hardly knew how to go about forums i was basically a forum virgin.

Joining the JWs in their "Street work"
by Snoozy in
1. jw
2. friends
yep..a church here in mo was in the news today.

they are headed for the streets to witness to the passerbys.. they said they are following christ's footsteps.

people even stopped in their cars and rolled the windows down..and gave them an opportunity to "preach" to them.. then the "preacher" put a ash cross on the person's forehead.. hummm....reminds me of when the witnesses first started going out in service..i wonder when the church will start branching out from the streets and actually go door to door?.

Ran into a JW and DFed, DAed, or faded?
by pierogi in

okay, i'm interested in experiences where you are dfed, daed or faded and you ran into a jw somewhere.

if you are dfed or daed, most likely they'd just ignore you.

this is unless you ran into them at work (like a restaurant, bank, grocery store) where it is there job to talk to you.

At Last! Awards for the Watchtower
by Farkel in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i have been one of the harshest critics of the watchtower lying and printing corporation, and "some" have said i've been unfair with regards to my comments about them.

fair enough.

therefore, i think it would only be fair to list their credits and accomplishments and i will now do this.. since july of 1879 when charles ("chuckie") russell produced his first copy of "zion's watchtower and the herald of more nonsense to come", many wonderful things have happened because of all others who are not dubs.

Disfellowshiped/Disassociated VS. Other non JWs
by pierogi in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
if someone is disfellowshiped or disassociates themselves from the jws, they are to be considered "worldly", right?

if jws can talk to other non jws, why are non jws who used to be .

jws so much worse that they can't talk to them?

i told my mother that i do not desire to be associated with jws anymore and
by drunkenpikachu in

2. experiences
she totally flipped out.

all i was trying to do was find some mutual respect for my decision but she started smacking, punching, pushing me.

soon after, she threw the biggest tantrum and it disgusted me to see her acting in such a manner.
