  Instagram witnessing

  by Thursday in

  sorry if this has been covered, but are they now counting time by linking to their website on instagram accounts of jws?.

  i keep a casual stalk on my niece and nephew on insta, and have found links to all their local jw youth insta accounts, even their parents have accounts, it seems quite acceptable.

  99% of them are private but every single one has a link to the website in their bio and a thing saying "jw" and often a scripture or god reference.

  I went Christmas shopping the day before Christmas when my daughter was 2.

  I was so excited, I didn't even have enough patience to wrap the presents, never mind waiting until the next day.

  Hell, I couldn't even wait for her nap to be over.

  I woke her up and proceeded to celebrate right then and there. 😂😂😂

  So far, I've enjoyed the holidays much more then the kids. I completely go into 4 year old mode... 😂😂😂

  Does the W.T have financial problems are are they just rebranding?

  by The Rebel in

  it is evident that the w.t has recently re-branded itself, and has become fairly modern in its marketing techniques.

  so the organisation is in that respect forward thinking, and the former way of doing things has past.. .

  but this rebranding has been done by marketing experts, who maybe realise progress is progress, and that with modernisation many bethelites " even as free volunteers" are possibly no longer required.

  They are having financial problems. This is not a rebranding thing.

  Over-protective parent?

  by GrownMidget in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was something like 20-21 and there was this young sister, maybe 16 who i happened to like back in the day ... uh oh ...we met in the summer convention because i made the first move while she was playing board games with her friend.

  we kept in touch via skype and text messages because lived kinda far from each other.

  eventually her mother heard of the stuff and said to her daughter that the chatting must stop.... well, when two people have a little crush on one another, it sure doesn't.

  You still didn't answer the question. How old is she and how old are you?

  Dont think the parents sound overprotective at all. They sound legitimately concerned as would I.

  Honestly, this is creeping me out a bit.... If you were 20 and she was 17, I'd still be hesitant.

  Their brain isn't fully developed at this point still. There's a reason why under 18 is jail bate.

  many here whom have read my previous posts know more or less my situation.

  wife is not hardcore but we still bump heads from time to time.

  if it wasn't for this cult, and while it was not an issue, we had an almost perfect marriage.

  chastise them every time they turn their heads away from the bible or the platform.

  
  

  This is the type of stuff you should bring up in therapy... It's very controlling behavior...

  Aprostate - I took that to mean she was trying to extend him an olive branch. Like she was trying to meet him halfway in his thinking and that she was "normal"...
