HELP!!- JT asked to become a MASON!
by JT in
1. jw
2. friends
i have been searching the net for some excellent sites on the masons.

this past weekend we went down to nc for a wedding and my wife and i broke the news to our nonjw family that we were no longer involved with jw.

i could not believe the open arm welcome my uncle and aunt were almost in tears- they told us we have seen you come home each yr from the main office in ny and then you got married and you would come home and we wanted to say something about the jw but you seemed to be so well respected by the local jw - whenever we would tell folks that our newphew was up in ny- the jw would get all excited- they told us they thought it was so sad for i only made $90 a month.

Never Hire A Jehovah's Witness!
by Kent in

if you are an employer, never hire a jehovah's witness.

the reason for this is simple: that mistake may cost you a lot of money!

you can bot expect a jehovah's witness to do what they are told to do, but you can expect them to do the oposite!

falling in love
by kid B in
1. jw
2. experiences
ok, heres my story.... i am 21 years old, male, and i am not a j.w., but i have hopelessly fallen in love with one.

unfortuntately, i do not believe what she believes in (i use the word unfortuntately because i wish i could believe, but i cant and it tears me apart).

i'm sure that this has happened a million times before, and you guys probably hear about it a lot, but i'm finding it very difficult to deal with, since she has also fallen deeply in love with me, but she feels like the only option is to let it go.

Judicial Elder wisdom LOL
by Shane in

2. experiences
i got to go into the star chamber a few years ago, i remember when the elders handling the my case told me and they all seemed to be in agreement with stupid remark: " now bro., i want you to go out and do everything you always wanted to do, and get it out of your system before you come back to us wanting reinstatement!

i was disgusted, i said: wait just a dam min your all supposed to encourage me not to sin and guide me inn ways of righteousness, instead your telling me to go out and sin?

i then said: "something's not right here, if there is a god someone will pay one day for mistreating one of his sheep.. question friends has anyone ever had the borg mp's ever say that to you?

has anyone else heard of the org.

convincing couples not to have children since this world is so "evil" and armagedon was coming so soon and why not wait until after it is over?.

many new couples were told this and those families that kept conceiving were talked about behind their backs.... daisy

personally, it upsets me very much.

or are there any other parents that found better, alternative ways of getting young children 'trained'?.

i am not anti -smacking by the way,(except at the kh) but it is always the very last resort.. latte
