  Whats the cruelest thing a JW has eva done to you

  by VioletAnai in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think the most thoughtless thing they eva did to me...and it's rather embarrassing...is when i was still a jw at 14.. i'd just had an operation to remove a cyst and my left ovary due to polycystic ovarian syndrome.

  so i'm sitting at the district convention and i get up to go and have lunch with my mum cause i was sitting with an sister a little older than me - in her 20's.

  so i start walking across the oval and there's people everywhere and i'm getting a few looks, but hey, i was a paranoid teen, they made me agoraphobic, so i didn't think too much of it.

  the highlight of a recent business trip to texas - austin, dallas and houston was to finally meet in person - xena and tim, and andi and neil.

  what great, lovely people!

  thanks for making my wife and i so welcome and "at home".. we have all been through a lot - posted, chatted, emailed - but visiting in person is the best.. we have also made some wonderful friends locally too - mulan and her husband in particular.

  Tough Question for ExElders...

  by Xena in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with a friend suddenly confronted with the prospect of being disfellowshiped recently it got me wondering about how an elder feels the first time he disfellowships someone.. the first time you disfellowshiped someone was there regret?

  sadness?

  or a sense of justice?.

  Happy Man

  by Golden Girl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am new to this board but i have seen an old friend here!his name is happy man.he is a j.w.

  but not like many that we have known.he is a kind and gentle man.he had many go arounds with the people from tim campbells board.needless to say where he lives in sweden it is alot better then here.the witnesses he knows are not as the ones are here.they don't seem to be as materialistic as some here are.and they don't seem to be as politcally inclined in their congregations as they are here.he really is from sweden as tim checked this out.his english is limited.but he tries very hard.happy man i gave yu a site for jehvahs witnees but i just found out they were full.i am sorry.they kicked me out because i never commented and they needed the room for those that would talk.does that tell you anything about the way they are here?te witnesses tell their people that the internet is a bad place.and yet they have their own website!anyway happy man is a very loyal j.w.

  and a very pleasant person to talk too.i think by comming on these boards he is slowly starting to see some of the wrong that is being done by the j.w.

  Passive agressive behavior- a common JW trait?

  by detective in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'd like to ask a serious question about passive agressive behavior and witnesses.

  i know a variety of non-witnesses who are passive aggressive in their behavior so this is obviously something of a attitude that anyone can have.

  but i was curious to find out if people think this behavior is common among witnesses?

  Freeness of speech

  by ozziepost in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as we read the many expressions here on the board it is plain for all to see that the actions and beliefs of the wts have caused great hurt and distress.

  why, even blind freddie can see it!

  in short, for many, many jws the organisation with its elder arrangement just doesn't work.
