  once - memorial. But I only do it because I know it makes my dad happy. But I am wondering how much longer I can put up this charade . . . even once a year at the kingdom hall is unbearable.

  Things That Irritated You When You Were A JW

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there were some witnesses that loved taking notes for every meeting.

  whatever you would say, the note takers were busy as a bee writing down every word.

  especially if you went out of town to give a talk, certain ones (only sisters) would take their note taking very very seriously.. another thing that used to get to me was when you'd see the same people every assembly on the platform giving a talk or being in a part.

  I wish there was some way to verify those watchtower/yearbook stories to see if they really happened. They all sound like something a grandparent would say that we'd know was about 5% truth and 95% fabrication . . . "I had to walk 10 miles to school uphill both ways in snow up to my armpits" . . . yada yada yada

  Nov 15 WT - stumbled over a teaching? There's no where else to go!!!

  by truthseeker in

  2. friends

  i just read the nov 15, wt - what a laugh.. so they admit some leave over their teachings and then they say there's no where else to go.

  what a joke - they are liars.. .

  was it a problem with a teaching?.

  Some may have left God's flock because they did not agree with some Scriptural publishing company's teaching.

  There! I'll agree to that statement

  I don't know about now, but when I was a kid I definitely could not join girl scouts and even buying the cookies was taboo

  Hi, I am kind of new here. I have not tried the other sites yet. But I have to say I am very interested in the stories of the "old timers" sometimes I read a profile the their previous posts. I can't get enough of individual stories of people who have been through what I am. So please keep it coming.

  Ditto!

  Fading becomes ground for disassociation

  by passwordprotected in

  here's what i think will happen as i continue to develop my wt sleight of hand thought.... .

  faders are a problem.

  they want their cake and they want to eat it too.

  The reason I'm coming to this conclusion is that I have evidence that elders are already asking faders this very question: "Do you still wish to be known as a JW?"
  
  It's a loaded Q, as we all know. Answer incorrectly and you are DAing yourself in front of 2 witnesses.

  This exact scenario happened to me about a month ago. My spidey-senses kicked in and I knew it was a trap so I just danced around the question instead of answering.
