  Unique but accurate observation about KHs from a "woldly" person

  by Lady Zombie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was out this weekend with a group of my "worldly" friends.

  the majority of them don't know that i'd been a witness in the past, nor did they know that my family still is.. i'm not sure how we got on the subject of religions, but one guy asked, "what's the name of those people who don't have windows in their churches?".

  several guesses were thrown out including amish and mennonites but he shook his head.

  The KH I attended growing up had windows. A whole row of them along the side of the auditorium. I remember one time the air conditioning wasn't working, so the brothers opened a few windows and the back door to get a breeze in. I spent the entire meeting staring out the windows, wishing I was out there.

  What is your strangest "supernatural" JW story?

  by donny in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i had just became a witness and a guy i worked with, who was also a jw, told me a story that actually made me laugh and i think it upset him a bit.

  the storys were almost always in the third person.

  it went as follows.. this brothers wife and him were sitting at the kingdom hall on the end seats of the row next to the back of the room.

  It wasn't just Smurfs who were demonized. Supposedly a Cabbage Patch Doll came to life, ripped off a little girl's head and threw it out the window. I was scared of my CPD for quite awhile after that.

  Hey, have any apostates done this?

  by Lady Zombie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm almost positive that someone(s) have done this, but since jws like to leave tracts in doors, waiting room tables, as tips .

  man, i'd sure like to leave those kind of tracts all over the place!.

  A little OT, but in my entire time in the "religion," I never knew anyone who left a tract as a tip. I was shocked to hear that people actually do that!

  JW's and weddings

  by nana1957 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am sure this has been discussed before, would appreciate anything on this.

  i was always under the assumption that a jw was not allowed to be an attendant in a 'worldly' wedding.

  meaning that you would not be able to be a bridesmaid or groomsman if you were baptized.

  Yeah, really must be up the elders. I didn't have my wedding at the kingdom hall either and no one even batted an eye. In fact, most people told us what a great idea it was to have our wedding and reception in the same facility.

  We used to phone witness on a regular basis. You got a phone "territory" from the KH. It had numbers and addresses on it. If there was no number listed, you would write a letter to the address. I preferred witnessing that way, because I hated being seen in public going door-to-door. We never called any businesses though.
