  i've lurking for months, and have enjoyed the various personalities on the board.

  i'm pretty sure that i've seen this topic done on an old thread, but i don't want to get my buddy asilentone all riled up by performing a resurrection.

  minimus- cause he is funny.

  he has been ill for some time, but it was still unexpected.

  he was never a jw and i didn't really have a close relationship with him, since he remarried after my parents divorced.

  i reunited with him in the mid 90's after over 10 years of not seeing him.. .

  What year Did you Stop Attending Meetings - How Long were you a JW ?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm trying to compare some statistics and figures on this to share later in the thread to see if more long-time witnesses are exiting- or are newer witnesses exiting after a shorter period of time.

  and - are more people exiting in the last 10 to 15 years than before.

  so your answers would be helpful in looking into this .

  - If once you have confessed to playing with your girlfriends nice fruntal bits the elder then places his own hands on himself to make sure we all understand where the 'breasts' are... (I could have done without that image...)

  That is so funny - but so typical!

  "Jehovah has really blessed me."

  i was at dinner with witness friends last night when one of the guys started that up.

  i kept my mouth shut, let him have his say for a while; it's good to feel gratitude and i'm glad for him that he feels so blessed, but never, even in my most "spiritually healthy" days have i boasted like that.

  finally, i spoke up with "how do you think that makes me, almost unemployed and struggling these days, feel?

  Last month when my father was visiting me he told me how Jehovah has blessed me so much with my great job. I asked him how he figures Jehovah blesses people who are disfellowshipped. His response was something along the lines of remembering all the good works I did in his name. I am still scratching my head on that one.

  What Are Some Of The Dumbest Beliefs JW's Have?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know there are a lot.. one belief i never understood is that blood fractions might be ok for a christian but not "whole blood".

  to me the "blood doctrine" is ridiculous from a scriptural point of view..

  CO talk with Elders & MS’s - Keep up to date with org changes & speak POSITIVELY about them to others!

  by LUKEWARM in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm having a field day with these changes - telling others not to attach themselves too much to the latest generation change because its probably going to change again in the next 2 years, commenting on how terrible the new songs are etc etc.... .

  anyway, thought it interesting that the gb is making sure the boys on the ground locally are supportive of the changes being made.

  here are notes from the 3rd discussion point in the wts scripted outline the co's was using at this meeting.. .

  It is like a car salesman giving you the POSITIVE pitch on a piece of crap car.

  BTW...What is the new understanding on mustard grain, dragnet and leaven?

  The longest prayer you had ever endured.

  from personal experience i know it usually happens at the end of a district convention.

  it would be either the do, co or an experienced elder.. they usually go through everything that was said throughout the dc and thank jehovah for this and that...... last year i used my stop watch to record the time taken by our do,.

  by the time he said amen!

  This is second hand, but I was told that at one DC Knorr was on stage for the closing prayer - The brother giving the prayer was so long winded that Knorr finally grabbed the mike and said AMEN.
