  Ever notice no pictures of any JW get togeathers?

  by JimmyYoung in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i remember when i was a kid in the early 70s that we always had a baseball game or picnic where they would get together and bring a dish to pass.

  every summer there was one or more.

  we had canoe picnic parties and camp fires ect.

  One of the elder's wives here absolutely lives for the congregation get-together. She puts together themes and exhibitions and assigns dishes to be made, etc.

  Maybe I'm socially challenged, but it always seemed strained and forced.

  Even so, I don't have much of a social life now, other than enjoying the company of people who I work with. Those congregation parties had their place for those who must have "a life."

  I think the WT has suggested that the r&f have guilt about enjoying larger gatherings. Personally, I prefer intimacy.

  racism

  by Stealth in

  2. friends

  having been raised as a jw, racism was something that was never promoted.

  i now have a 9 year old that has been visiting her biological grandmother and my ex-wife.

  it is my child because i adopted her.

  Nine years old is old enough for your daughter to know it when she hears it and express her own views, which I hope you are helping her to have. A nine year old can say things like "I have friends at school who are (fill in the blank) and I think they are very nice."

  Bigots are pretty shallow people and a child that is actually thinking can be a powerful thing.

  Too bad they caught one but they didn't catch them all. I realize that some comments here are just like that, without the smell. ;)

  I'm sorry to be picky, but the note on your post says that you posted this 7 hours ago, which was yesterday.

  You're officially older now. I hope you had a happy birthday.

  Would You Ever Go Back To The Witnesses??

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  every once in a while you hear people say they actually “miss” their old witness friends and or family.

  some would have even stayed in the organization if they became a bit more liberal and open minded.

  I still stop by to visit a few of the older ones who remember better times with the Organization. I want them to know that my friendship isn't conditional.

  But to get wrapped up in all of that competitive, self-righteous, judgmental garbage? No thanks!

  I am now 73 and the road has been filled with wonders

  2. friends

  i appreciate all my friends who stop to read what i write and post.

  you help me more than you know simply by being there as a sense of 'family of friends' for me to talk to and 'share' thoughts with.i guess if i didn't have stories left to tell or people to listen, i could pack it in and join elon musk in a colony on mars.january 15, 2020. .

  which world is this?_________________when the doctor pulled my screaming body out of mom all those 7 decades ago, i landed in a post-wwii world.it was--compared to today's world--an alien planet.the world i live in today has nothing in common with the world in which i grew up.there were no cell phones back then--there were black telephones with a dial-tone and an operator who placed your call.everywhere you found telephone booths!

  Hey, Terry, Happy Birthday! Glad that you're still with us and that you are still coherent. I'm only a couple of years behind you and I'm realizing, too, that the world had come a huge distance since I was a kid. It is hardly recognizable!

  Thanks for waxing philosophical "out loud,"
