  What exactly are JWs unique in?

  by isaacaustin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the wt will make the assertion that the witnesses have the truth (i.e.

  are god's org) due to a huge laundry list of items.

  of course, this ignores the fact that their teaching is that they were appointed over jesus earthly belongings in 1919. but, lets roll with it...the witnesses have the truth because they do not:.

  I think they cause much guilt and fear in the members. Guilt trips more than anything.

  i wrote a little poem about being at the meeting.

  i apologise beforehand if all the commas and full stops are in the wrong places, i'm not very good with punctuation .

  it's 10am, i'm bleary eyed,.

  How Did You Handle Sitting At The Meetings?

  by minimus in

  did you pretend to listen?

  did you actually follow along, listening intently?.

  at the end i was listening more intently and getting more irritated by the whole sham..

  I would sometimes have a notebook and make out my budget for the week, grocery lists, etc. During the Wt study I went to the bathroom alot. I thought at times it would never be over. I'd at times look around at the older ones there that had been coming to the meetings for years and wonder if I would be them in the future, waiting for Armegeddon to come. My mind wandered alot. I was bored to death most of the time.

  even as a witness we always used to decorate for fall with pumpkins, goards, mums, candles and other natural things.

  now that i can decorate for halloween, i realize that i really prefer to stick to the natural stuff.

  i will have a few homemade hallween things when the time comes but for now i've decked my apartment out in fall goodness.

  This is the first year I've put pumpkins out on my porch to decorate for fall. I've always wanted to but did'nt because of what the "friends" might think. How stupid to worry about what people would think about orange pumpkins. Now I don't care. I know I'm just decorating for fall and I love the colors.

  Joshnaz, thanks for the link to read about the baby. It would be so hard to treat a baby that size like a newborn or it seems like it would be. I've heard that diabetes can cause that problem so he's probably lucky to to alive and healthy.

  I've never been slapped in the face, but have had several spankings in my childhood that I'd rather forget.
