if you still go or remember the days when you did what did you think about while you were sat there?
obviously it's very difficult to concentrate.. lol..assemblies i find impossible and have often drifted off to sleep, listening to the endless same old stuff.. .
and i want some funny stories.. .
Growing up in rural WI usually involved one Sunday a month traveling to another congregation (at 100 miles away) so my father could give his famous discourse - A Godly View of Sex and Marriage. Do you think any congregation could request a different talk?
Talk about years of humiliation... Your father up on stage talking about menstruation (which he made into 5 syllables) and birth control.
What was I thinking about ....Just kill me.
british dubs are invited to attend a special convention next summer in dublin , irish republic.
o k, this kind of trip has been done many times before.
however i have never seen such a crude and rigid set of rules that would apply to their own people going on a trip, at their own expense of course.
"If you're a couple of gay financially solvent Ministerial Servants having a sordid affair, this could be the trip of a lifetime!"
Thanks Mad Sweeney and Cedars - I needed a good laugh today
i'm walking around the street or shopping mall.
people almost walk into me.
umm, can't you see that a person is only inches away from your body?.
You are very much loved and appreciated Broken Promises

What if a pimple appears on your nose minutes before departure? Is there going to be a oversight committee inspecting all arriving witnesses for suspicious malaise or physical irregularities?

This reminds me of a mad man in the '30's that only wanted blue eyed, blond hair (Aryan) men. He perceived them as strong, smart and good looking.
Sounds to me like GB2 and Hitler have similar outlooks
my apologies if this video has already been posted at some point in the past.
only recently did i become aware of this particular video.
the opinions of the author are expressed in a way that was new to me.
What he said about belief not being a choice was quite interesting. Thank you for posting
Wha Happened...I thought your wife was a real sweetie. Oompa felt really bad afterwards because he had no idea she was still an active witness. I think he would have said a lot less if he had realized she was still in.
Can't wait for the next Vegas Fest!!!!
i just endured the painful process of trudging through the 2012 examining the scriptures daily, looking for interesting quotes.
apart from being repetitively boring, it has managed to squeeze most of the watchtower's crazy concepts into a single book.
the comments concentrate on:.
Thank you so much jwfacts! Is that murder ratio correct? That seems really off (1 out of 142), but with Wiki down today I cannot seem to find out.
its just praised religous telemarketing!.
ive been doing it this whole morning and the only thing i've done to make it go quicker was to memorize a disconnected number.. its been working extremely well.... but did any of you that ever did it feel strange like you were selling something?!
like you were in a call center?.
Did it once and hated it!
This past summer I received a hand written letter by some sister in the local hall. I guess all the neighbors got one (the witnesses are not allowed in my housing development). It had to have taken at least 30 minutes to write. What a terrible waste of time to hand write letters to 85 townhomes.
once you realized the organization is simply a religious corporation, how did you leave?.
did you fade?.
were you forced out?.
Did you fade? No
Were you forced out? Yes, after being away for a considerable time I wrote to the body of elders to let them know my ex husband had grounds to remarry (I really wanted him to meet someone and remarry-which he did). They set up numerous committee meetings, which I never attended, so they DF'ed me.
How did you adjust to life on the outside? I love people, it was easy
Do you still have social or family connections within the organization? My parents are 3rd generation witnesses - but they still talk to me.
What did you do to supplant the lost friends, routine, and sense of purpose? I never really felt like I lost friends. My social life is way bigger than it ever was as a JW. I do feel the need to connect with ex-JWs. Thanks to this site I have been able to make some close friendships here in my area.
