  I'll pray for u.

  by wha happened? in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ok it's no secret my mother is seriously ill. the neighbors and friends who have grown to love her are constantly asking for updates.

  at the end of virtually every conversation is stated, i'll pray for her or some other mention of divine request.. in the other corner are the multitide of jw's i've known and helped over the years.

  no mention of prayers.. i know it's obvious but the love from heritics clearly out paces "the friends".. i'm just annoyed that's all.. .

  even with my jw wife.....i have told her for awhile she is prob better off without me....i was party central in jwland....nobody has had me over for two years now....i guess cause i could not shut up about some real truths about the so-called truth....now i have agreed to shut up....these guys really do have a right to their own beliefs...i am very non-judgemental and always have been......i should have shut up two years ago or so...but damm......trying to fit in with your own marriage in order to save being shunned from your blood family and a very few what is left dub friends just sucks.....starting over at midlife is such a bitch.....such a bitch..........oompa.

  and ya...the fear of the unknown is really present......if all i have known is jw...i will prob not fit into real world either.

  2. experiences

  last night, i had a friend over for dinner.

  nothing major, just ordered a pizza and talked a good bit about his business, family, vacations coming up.

  nothing really from a spiritual aspect, which was fine by me.

  2. entertainment

  what do you think about the new host on the tonight show, conan o' brien.

  i truly enjoyed jay leno and his monologue but cannot stand conan' sense of humor.. personally i think he's going to get his butt kicked by david letterman..

  Phrases NOT to say if you are in a judicial committee meeting for apostasy

  by BonaFide in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have only been on a couple of committee's for actual apostasy, and in one the brother never showed, and in the other, the person said they don't want to be a witness.

  but in having experience as an elder and a c.o., and in reading this forum, here are my suggestions.. do not say:.

  "i don't believe that the faithful and discreet slave is god's channel" - why not?

  i found out that if you say you are sorry you are unable to believe or understand a certain subject...but that you wish you could...and that since you cant you feel they need to df you.......then they get really exhasperated because i guess i just took all their fun away......and then they dont want to df you...but will try to look forgiving to all and just reprove you publically............i had forgotten about pub reproof.....oompa

  these are couples that i know personally.. a brother i know married a sister 36 years older than him.

  he was 35, she was 71. they are still married 5 years later.

  they do not get along, and they make that known to the entire hall.. a brother that has been married twice and is 50 years old recently married a 19-year old.

  Did people DONATE for the literature when you went out in service?

  by BonaFide in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i think i got a donation maybe once or twice here in the states.

  most of the friends don't ask for a donation.

  in south america, more people donated, but i think it's because it was phrased differently, we used to say, "you can give whatever you want for this magazine.
