  Married my partner...

  by writerpen in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we just got back from san francisco where we were married last week.

  maybe some day gay couples won't have to travel 1,000 miles to get married, and their commitment of love will be recognized by society.

  there will be no need to use code - my friend, my roommate - at the office, with neighbors, or with family when speaking about the person with whom you live your life.

  Will you reply to this topic or just read it?

  some topics generate hundreds of reads but few replies.

  others, well ... i'm not one for scientific studies.

  nor why one thing works and another will not, despite the time and effort put into it (whatever the thing/endeavor happens to be).. kindly inform me if you, in passing by and, having nothing better to do of a saturday eve, happen to see this post but have no intention of responding.. perhaps this is rocket science after all.. thank you for reading though finding no necessity to reply .... "they stayed away in droves.".

  What do you feel is the reason the WTS succeeds in retaining its members?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  most of my family have been members since the early 1970's.they attend 3 meetings per week,fly or drive to summer assemblies,preach the average 10 hours per month,and read the same boring watchtower magazine week after week.

  the congregation has lost nearly all the young teens,many have quit attending all the meetings,some divorced,and some members just going thru the motions.

  i'm never going to question them on why they still remain members but shouldn't all the promises of "this generation never dying" make them question the wts.... just a little?

  Although I had left the org. many years before discovering this site, it definately opened my eyes. I found out a lot of things I wouldn't have known otherwise...

  BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.

  while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).

  a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.

  No, he was tall and very slender. There were a few of the Lee brothers but I believe he was the one that spent the most time there.

  what angers you about the truth

  by stillajwexelder in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  this angers me .

  elders who will not make shepherding calls to comfort their brothers and sisters but as soon as that brother or sister puts one little foot out of line those same f-----g (sorry about the language but it really angers me ) elders can not move fast enough to form a judicial committee and then are so unmerciful - it makes me want to vomit literally

  That after all the time I was "in" it turned out NOT to be the truth! Many wasted years.
