"not interested" isn't really a df'ing thing so much as a da'ing in absentia (sort of the same, regardless, because of the way it's announced).

but you didn't send it to an elder... just a friend.. i dunno, it's kind of a gray area, imo.

What Is It That Really Troubles the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses?
by orangefatcat in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
well i think what worries them the most is that more and more witnesses are becoming free thinkers and that is troubling them, it worries them that thinking freely will cause them to seek answers elsewhere and that is the last thing the gb wants.

they have pulled the reins so tight now how much tighter can they pull before many witnesss crack under their yokes.

what is your thoughts on this matter.. .

MY JW DAD HAS CUT US OFF! WE ARE DEAD !

well we don't care that he has cut us off!

we have 4 kids, he ain't going to see them before the grim reaper comes lookin for him.

my job skills are well in demand in alberta canada so that's our next move, we are getting out of the uk sinking ship asap, we have family in alberta who will sponsor us so i think it's time to leave and make a new start for our kids, as their aren't no jobs in the uk for them now even with university qualifications behind them.

hello all jwn .

so glad to have that over with- it was surreal to walk in the kh after two years...it is just a building to me now (not "jehovah's house").

i must say that now i'm on the outside...what a boring sad building- the people were not joyful and friendly (just older and fatter than i remember)- i got the nervous stares and shaky "hi" when i looked at all of them and said hello.. my mom was sitting all by herself in the front row of the hall...i went and sat by her side.

1. social
2. relationships
i met a gorgeous lady yesterday and she shows too much cleavage.

i see her facebook page, all of her pictures has cleavage in them, i would not want to date her because she shows too much all the time.

i am tempted to tell her to cover up her cleavage, she might not like me telling her that.

if it weren't for this lil ol' practice that goes on, honestly, would we even be here?

My brother is now being trained as a Circut Overseer.
by Voices in
1. jw
2. friends
i received a phone call from my mother (who is still a jw, but very accepting of me still as her loving son, even though i was disfellowshiped for questioning the oranization and choosing the bible over the watchtower at that time).

she makes normal talk, just regular stuff pertaining to situations of ours.

about me coming to visit, and or her coming.

by Witness 007 in
1. jw
2. experiences
a self serving, self rightoues, judgemental fool who's favourite swear word is "fudge" did you know any "flanders" types at the kingdom hall.

we had a special pioneer who would mention "the wonders of jehovah's creation"...while we were cleaning the kingdom hall toilets!!!
