  Let's predict what the WTS will cut next

  by unbrainwashed in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it looks like there is a pattern of a major cutback every year or so for the past several years.

  from soft cover binding, no more subscriptions, 30 min public talks, members only wt magazine, book study meeting elimination.

  maybe i missed some others.

  Instead of cutting anything out, next time I think they will make blood transfusions really a matter of conscience and not DA anyone for taking one.

  What are your fears?

  by Bumble Bee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember growing up we were told not to voice our fears outloud, lest satan hear them and use it against us during the gt.

  as a result i grew up pretending i wasn't afraid of anything, that i was the strong one, which is sooooo far from the truth!

  lol i have learned that i am stronger than i thought i was, but there is a part of me that just once would love someone else to deal with the fears and tell me it's all going to be ok. .

  Bees and sparks too close to me. Those are the only two things that make me panic.

  I grew up in the cult and was taught that the Great Flood wiped them out.

  i'm new to this site... just looking for confirmations of thoughts i've been having during my investigation of this organization.

  i'm attending meetings while studying and thought this forum might provide some insight.

  it surely does.

  Right on with everything said here about how the WTS words things. That bookstudy night will be used as a club for guilting JW's into doing more in FS. Just watch. They do need more $$$.

  Can a Woman be DFd for wearing a pantsuit to meetings?

  by LovesDubs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  im wondering if they are still so tight assed in the organization as to make issue with such matters that they would df a woman who preferred to wear pants to dresses but still came to the hall.

  do you think they wouldnt allow her to enter after awhile?

  i wore a skort once and gave a talk back in like, 1986 and was soundly reprimanded for wearing apparel that was "masculine and improper for sisters to be wearing".

  No, there was a sister who was in good standing who wore only pantsuits. She looked very nice.

  2. experiences

  i was 16 years old when i got baptised - 1992 - it was at one of the two day assemblies.

  only a few of us got baptised.

  i pulled out the pictures - there i stood proudly with a friend of mine in our cosies (shirts over) towels wrapped around us.

  After getting dunked, I finally felt like I belonged. It was very important to me to feel like I belonged to something important. I was 17. The org was all I had. Now, I'm learning to trust myself without outside interference.

  The Butchering of the English Language.

  by Low-Key Lysmith in

  1. social
  2. current

  i am disturbed by the recent trend in the media in america that encourages the butchering of our english language.. i'm talking about examples of film titles like "she hate me", "how she move", & "baby mama".

  does it really take that much effort to add an "s" to the end of a word?

  now, before i am decried as a racist, please note that nowhere in any of my statements have i isolated any particular race.

  Yeah (yes in the German way), that sounds like "your one." I like that one, too:)

  JG,

  That's has a cute sound, "you'uns" for you ones. That sounds natural although I never grew up hearing it or using it. I particularly like the contraction, "young'uns." Cute.
