by toladest in

i did not realize that in my post above about brothers reuniting after 26 years that i failed to mention that it is because of this site that it all happened.. i am scott's wife and i met darrin's common law wife on this board.

neither of us even knew each other existed.

i was talking about dan f and she was here trying to learn more about jw's because of what her man went through as a child.

What was your most humiliating point of being a jw?

by love11 in

mine was when my mom signed me up to sit at a table at our local university.

we had to sit there and talk to students as they passed by our table.

a few people came up to start a conversation and i didn't even know what they were talking about.

My heart goes out to all of you!

I was one of those mothers that forced their children to do those things..I apologize for all those stupid parents that were and still are so misguided that they would do that form of child abuse. That's what it really is.

I didn't really know how much it embarrased them until they were grown and we were all out of that disgusting religion!

I remember thinking that "Jehovah" would protect us also. Well that was pretty naieve seeing how he allowed many to be killed for their beliefs.

Malawi..refusing blood...and so on.

Snoozy..of the I'm so disgusted with the JW's class!

Who know's about the founder of the JW being seventhday adventitous

by mormon 4 life in

i was told that he was that's why thye have the same doctrine.........................................

Golden Girl

I knew nothing about it as a JW..then after coming to the X JW boards I read a post that claimed that.

Well I didn't believe it so I looked it up in one of the JW publications..sure enough..there it was!

They sure don't teach you much about their origins do they! I guess they are ashamed of it or something.

Snoozy...who saw the light!

#2 Talks

by dothemath in

brothers assigned #2 talks have no work to do at all as far as i can see.

if you're even a moderately good reader, you could look over it for about 2 minutes ahead of time.. when someone doesn't show up for the reading, and another brother fills in "short notice", there really isn't any noticeable change in the talk, or how it's read.

in other words, just about anyone could do it.. and then the counselor has to come up with terms about how well the brother read it.........etc., etc., etc.. the commendation is pretty much identical every week for this part.. the sisters have to do extensive research on their parts, but the younger brothers who don't do the #4 assignments have got it very easy..........for most, it's about a 5 min.

Do the "Sisters" still have to direct their discussion towards another sister?..You know us lower class citizens?

I always hated trying to come up with an original setting. I remember some sisters would get nervous and talk real fast. Their talk would only last two minutes!..

Then we had the poor sister that wet her skirt..Poor thing.

Snoozy...Who always checked to make sure the guys fly was closed...

My Daughter just got a new Cadillac SUV. Silver colored. I can't remember what it is.

But she and the kids love it! ( I haven't seen it yet but love the white ones I have seen going down the road.)

She co-owns and runs a limo service..They have a Stretch Hummer..A stretch Chrysler 300 and a stretch Lincoln Towncar (Nice)

If you want someone to try out that convertible..I would be happy to take it for a test drive for you

Do any small creatures frighten & freak you out?

by Rod P in

here's the dirty dozen: .

1) ants- imagine being buried in a sandpile up to your neck with sand.

along come a bunch of ants from an ant colony, and they crawl all over your head, in and out of your nose, your mouth, your ears, your eyes, and all thru your hair.

Simple Sally..you reminded me of the time my girfriends husband broke his leg in a motorcycle accident.
He had a wreck and the bone came through the leg and made a big hole.

They had to operate and put a pin in it but when they put a cast on it they had to leave a opening so it would get air and heal where the hole was.
Well his leg was itching so bad and swelling up in the cast they had to remove it! (You know where I'm going with this?)

Yep...he had maggots in the hole!..They were eating the decayed flesh in the hole in his leg.
They cleanned the sore out and put a fresh cast on it..
I have to agree..they are pretty gross!

Snoozy...who will NEVER eat at Rabbits house!

Something like that really did happen to my Mom. Years ago a store named A and P.

Mom bought a box of doughnuts and was eating one and kept chewing and chewing and finally spit something out. It was the skin fron the finger!..I guess the rest got mixed in..

Know what she got out of it ?

An apology and a baked cake!..Think she ate the cake?..

Field Service is a Farce

by swiftbreeze in

i touch on this subject in another post but i felt the need to take it further...back in the day jw's went out in fs but i don't know about today.... i live in a big city....the territory my congregation has is small because there are so many cong.

here.. our bookstudy only had maybe four blocks at the most to work.

my ex husband and i would go to the meetings and hear talk about fs and all the wonderful and experiences and the joy oh joy in being out in the ministry.

Golden Girl

I read on a JW site that they do phone field service now. I wonder where they get the names and phone number from ?
They pass by here once in a blue moon. Never stop. I must be on a do not call list.

We have an assembly hall right around the corner. They used to come in the neighborhood every weekend. Now you rarely see them.

Snoozy..of the my house must be invisible class..
