  JWs say its impossible for "worldly people" to be happy

  by shopaholic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've had 3 different jws tell me this over the past few weeks.

  basically their thinking is non-jws are not happy and when they appear to be its not real, its not a true happiness.

  according to them, non-jws use drugs, alcohol and wild sex to make themselves happy.

  Materialism: An Example

  by WTWizard in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have just realized what crap material items the witlesses live with.

  just now, i went through my place and marked the things that the witlesses stocked me up with at the time i moved in 1x years ago (more work, hounders, to figure out just when).

  and i found plenty of crap.. first, the "furniture" was flimsy wicker.

  2. friends

  i have been lurking on this site for nearly a year now and finally feel comfortable enough to begin posting.

  so i thought a little introduction would be appropriate.

  my whole family, except for my two sisters, are jw's.

  How Life Can Change

  by Sunspot in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i don't come by here very often any more (trying to wean myself away from this board in anticipation of when we cannot ever post any more.

  in the last couple of years, and leaving this mess in jesus' hands, things have not only begun to emerge as "fixable", but have most definetely been fixed at long last.

  i was invited to the youngest grandchild's (of this son) sweet 16 birthday party last summer and i teared up when i realized that this was the first birthday party of all three of these grandchildren that i had attended.. we have been invited to thanksgiving dinner ( for the fourth year) with our whole family and that of my dil's family (she is one of seven) and to spend a few days at christmas at another son's home.
