JW's on my block!!
by Wordly Andre in
1. jw
2. friends
it was about 5pm yesterday, i noticed 2 men in suits walking around my block, at first i thought they were only there to visit one house, but then they started going door to door, they were holding a magazine after the first house so then i knew, they were dubs, i grabbed my shot gun, holy water, and crucifix, and changed into my jehovah's witness protection program t-shirt.

too bad i had to leave home before they got around to my place, but i won tickets to disney's halloween treat, so i didn't get to confront them.

but what is up with door to door work so late?

"Stumbling Stones" in the congregation
by JH in
1. jw
2. friends
i remember a brother telling me many years ago, that he could have bought a beautiful fur coat to his wife, but he didn't want others in the congregation to be jealous.

that was the mentality back then.

no one wanted to be a stumbling stone.. gee, today you see acuras and expensive cars all around the kingdom hall parking lot.

Inattentive elders...anyone else experience this?
by B_Deserter in
1. jw
2. experiences
everyone always talks about the elders and people in the congregation coming around to see why you aren't at meetings...but i've never experienced this.

i've been away from the meetings for months, and not one single elder has called me.

my friends occasionally call me but never bring up my lackluster attendance.

As a JW were you ever counseled about clothes you wore, or lack thereof ?
by flipper in
1. jw
2. friends
thought this could get interesting discussing experiences.

i for one was trying to reach out for ministerial servant again in the early 90's , had been one before, and was assigned to carry the microphones one meeting.

had an elder call me in the back room and say , " brother flipper, i noticed looking down towards your shoes that you are wearing white socks today.

wedding invitation revoked
by jeanne40love in
1. social
2. family
i have been associated with jw's since birth.

i raised my kids in the religion....thinking it was the only way.

recently, my daughter (who was baptized at 15 she is 24 now and has since stopped attending meetings, has been in a relationsip with a man and now has a newborn baby) was invited to a witness wedding and subsequently uninvited b/c she could possibly stumble the jw's who would be attending,since she has had a baby with a non witness and is not married.. .
