A good advert for JWs ?
by Simon incan you believe this guy.... http://www.gopbi.com/partners/pbpost/epaper/editions/today/local_news_2.html.
is he a good advert for jws as 'law abiding citizens' or what ?
although i guess he is just following the example of his leaders in how they think the law applies to them!

Chuck,
Had to agree with your comment about ' odd ducks who just can't fit in and deal with normal society.'
Sounds like You Know to me...Sounds like a good idea for a thread.

Hi Simon,
What a dickhead!!
The society will be so proud of the way he is following their example of avoiding paying taxes at all times and throwing in a touch of perjury for good measure.

Hi TMS,
Just wanted to say sorry about your loss.
I have lost 5 dogs, 2 cats, and 8 birds in my life and every time I break my heart. My hubby is not an animal lover as such and tries to stop me acquiring more because he can't bear to see me upset. At the moment I have a Bengalese finch I rescued 3 years ago dying (she's just completed her lifespan) and every time I check on her I am ready to crack up. One day she is laying on the floor looking terrible then the next she is eating normally and jumping about making plenty of noise. She is called Noelle ( formally Noel till I found out he was a she) because I got her at Christmas time. Some would say you can't get attached to a finch 'cause they don't interact like budgies or parrots but try telling that to my heart.As for JW's been discouraged from keeping pets I was shocked about that and must tell my mum who has got 2 dogs and gets more love of them than the brothers that's for sure!
I'm sure your puppy will bring you much joy and laughter.

most HATED thing about the meetings ...
by alliwannadoislive inhey ya'll ... ain't tuesdays, thursdays and sundays even better nowadays ?.
i was wondering what it is that you hated most about the meets ?.
the one thing that used to really rile me was the pressure to control the children - the frowns and the disapproving looks when they were just behaving like normal kids .... the worst of it all for me was seeing any little person being taken outside and hearing the loud slaps even when the door was closed .... what is it that you least miss ?

Hi,
Where do I start?
I hated talks on contributions that made you squirm. I hated the boxes at the back and brothers who poked notes in the crack when you were waiting to stick a quid in LOL.
I hated end of the month meetings when I got chased round the hall for my report which I was too embarrased to put in . About the same time I would be dodging the brother on the mag counter who got high blood pressure over my thickening pile that I couldn't afford to collect and knew I'd never place!
And more than anything I hated being in the Ministry School. The stomach churning moment when you are handed your slip and you know without checking it will be on the platform not in the side room and your householder will be sister Superspiritual who will ring you every other day to see if the talks ready to go over and you haven't even looked at the blooming material yet! (how many times did you go over it hurriedly in the toilet before the meeting?)
Must stop myself...

? for any who has been an Ex-JW for many years
by Babykins ini voluntarily dissasociated myself about 5 1/2 years ago.
i did not know anything about the things on the internet i just had a feeling that something was not right and i needed to exercise my right to be free and make free decisions.
how happy i was that a year after i dissasociated myself i got on the internet and found a wealth of information and a heck of alot of encouragement.. anyway my question is to those who have been out and free before the days of the internet.

Hiya Babykins,
I must admit I found out everything from the internet and from my brother buying 'Crisis of Conscience'. If it wasn't for the net I would maybe be back in or still out but waiting with trepidation to be a dead un at Armageddon!
Do you remember district assemblies where small gangs of 'apostates' would be holding up banners and giving out pamphlets? The horror and fear drilled into us was so strong we would not have dared to be seen taking one or reading it. 'Apostates' had a terminal illness we could catch!
That's why it is so hard to get to JW's to help them see the society for what it is. Great thing about the net is idle curiousity in the privacy of a lurkers home can lead to finding out more than they bargained for and forces them to re-evaluate their beliefs.Free
