  2. experiences

  my wife and i went away for the weekend and we stopped in a small town for lunch.

  we sat down and just behind us in a booth were two jdumbs a man about 65 and a woman 75. as i sat down the first words i heard him say to the woman were "i used to auxillary pioneer there" that's when we tuned into their conversation.. the next thing i heard the woman say was "the only thng i think about when i come into this restaurant is that all these people are going to die".

  i couldn't resist, i turned around and said "do you know somthing i don't know is the food that bad here?

  you see a jw on your street and wait for them to come to your door.

  yes, seriously, it happened this past tuesday morning.

  i saw a jw going to my neighbor's house across the street, so i waited patiently for a knock on my door that never came (at least in the 2 and a half hours before i had to leave the house).

  From innocent to...

  by mind my own in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  how many of you initally checked out this site for completely innocent reasons?

  just stumbed across it and couldnt' stop reading, or to see what was being read with the intent of setting us or someone else in your life straight?

  then b/c of what you read you could no longer buy into the whole jw fraud and left the org or are in the process of leaving?

  Kid's playing sports?

  by ldrnomo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  anyone keep their kids from playing sports because of the borg?.

  when my son was 8 years old they had a t-ball league in the summer at the nearby park.

  because of the borg training we told him he couldn't play t-ball.. that kind of thinking just carried on throughout his life from junior high through high school.

  Happiness versus unhappiness

  by jacethespace in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  for those of you who have left the watchtower have you experienced greater happiness since leaving than when you were in.especially a feeling of all that pressure lifting of conforming to the tower that you didnt realize originally made you misrable and was blamed on satan.thats how ive feel these days since leaving.i feel more natural and mentally stable than when i was a conforming jw.. on the other hand have you noticed these days when i bump into my ex congregation associates they look quite unhappy and depressed.then again it could be because some of them dont know how to deal with me knowing that ive left watchtower land..

  How do we know that humans have been around for more than 6000 years?

  by inkling in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  after a conversation with my dad last night, i realized that it is fairly.

  easy for jws to weasel out of issues involving the fossil record because.

  a) the wt has very little to say on the subject and b) witnesses are.

  Why the end is sooo close! Latest illogical JW logic

  by Quandary in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  an elder mentioned yesterday in casual conversation how the end must be close 'because this is the first time in human history that a black man will probably be president of the us.

  all other forms of government have had their day, now that a black man will be president, the angels, mankind and satan cannot claim that jehovah didn't give every possible chance for humans to make it without his rulership'.

  almost verbatim!

  Do you get upset when people don't believe that same way you do?

  by loosie in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  is it a normal reaction to get mad when you talk to someone who doesn't believe that way you do?.

  the reason i ask is that i don't believe in the most common christianity.

  when i come across a person and they ask how i feel about something and i tell them how i feel.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  which it isn't by any stretch of the imagination.. .

  can you envision life during the 1,000 year reign with jesus up in heaven and the governing body running the show down here.. .

  how long do you think you could stick with it knowing that the rules could change any minute?.
