  some more of my story THE PREQUEL

  by hellenback in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my father became a witness in 1973 , so just before the 1975 thing.

  my sister and i always say that the only reason he became a jw was because he's as tight as a knats chuff and didnt want to buy presents at birthdays or christmas.

  i was 6 ys old and my sis was 7 my younger brother was 2 ys old .

  DON'T SPEND TIME WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES.

  by Hairyhegoat in

  2. experiences

  these comments and the references to the old publications are a true find.

  have a read of this and you will never become one of the jw's!.

  don't associate with outsiders (non-jehovah's witnesses).

  Zoos are cruel punishment and a prison to animate. You would not want to go gawk at the animals. Watchtower, 11/15/49, p.349; Awake, 5/8/73, p. 18.

  Now I understand why I was never able to properly progress in the troof - I liked going to the zoo, obviously blocking me from the holy spirit

  Strange crushes on people who aren't your "type"?

  does anyone else get these and get perplexed by them?.

  i kind of lean toward a full-figured type of woman 99% of the time.

  skinny doesn't do anything for me.. but then there's milla jovovich.

  What was something that you loved but were denied as a JW?

  by Chemical Emotions in

  i could go on and on about all the things i loved, but i'll keep it brief and just mention one, rather trivial thing: music.

  i love grunge and punk, and occasionally heavy metal, and can't listen to a lot of it as a witness..

  I would have loved to have lived on my own before getting married. However, my parents were adamant that JW girls never leave home, unless as a bride to a proper JW man.

  heard this from a friend of a friend via an email locally circulating.

  are you ready?

  take a deep breath.... "the end of this system is just a whisper away..." from a ca talk i think, maybe even from the dc, i can't remember.

  JW nephew graduation party cancelled... your insight is requested

  by Alfred in

  2. friends

  i have a jw nephew in another state who was at very the top of his high school senior class this year.

  because of this, my sister (an elder's wife) had planned and sent out invitations to his "graduation party" which would be held at a community center with all the bells and whistles.

  i actually bought plane tickets for my wife and i to attend this party immediately after receiving the invitation in the mail.

  Gee, all my jewelry comes from Kohl's or Target. So I would have to set the value at around $2.00

  Growing up a Jehovah's Witness - New Video

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have put together a video - growing up a jehovah's witness 1960 -2010. it aims to show the things a witnesses would be taught as they age over those decades.

  it is 15 minutes long.

  this is my first attempt at a video and it took a while to work out how to use final cut, so please feel free to make suggestions if anything should be changed.
