  i think it may be a good time to start writing to other publications with some of the outlandish.

  jw doctrines...higher education is one thing that comes to mind.

  As a JW Kid Were You Expected To Get Baptised By Your Parents/ Congregation

  by Hairyhegoat in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  here is a quote from a ex-jw about this subject, i myself had alot of pressure from my family to get baptised and finally gave in at 14, wish i had left them a present on the way out of the pool that floated..at the dudley assembley hall .

  i can't justify my entire family (parents, sisters, aunts, uncles, grandma) and friends shunning me because i chose not to uphold a dedication i made at twelve years old.

  sure it was my "choice" to get baptized.

  I never did. I knew from the age of six that I was going to escape as soon as I could. My sister got

  baptised when she was 16. I tried to talk her out of it but couldn't. I just ignored all the comments.

  The Polarizing of America: Rep. Michele Bachmann wins Iowa Straw Poll

  by darthfader in

  1. social
  2. current

  http://news.yahoo.com/bachmann-wins-gop-2012-test-vote-224544660.html.

  minnesota rep. michele bachmann won a test vote of iowans on saturday, a show of strength five months before the state's caucuses kick off the gop presidential nominating season.. the result is the first indication of what iowans think of the field of republicans competing for the chance to challenge president barack obama next fall.

  but it's hardly predictive of who will win the winter iowa contest, much less the party nod or the white house.. well... there goes the neighborhood....

  the down side of having a name like raveen is that names don't mean anything to me.

  all people become nothing... any odd name people undesrsand?

  i was called she... you... not my name for most of my life... that made me not care what your name was.... so i don't know people i want to know!!!

  I always like my name, Diana. My middle name is Leigh. My mum said she took it off an old

  stove she was standing at when she was pregnant with me. I was called Di before it became fashionable!

  Watchtower 2011 July 15 Study Edition: Are all study editions like this?

  by Tuber in

  2. bible

  so during my research on the wts, i stubled across a link to the july 15th watchtower.. .

  http://download.jw.org/files/media_magazines/w_e_20110715.pdf.

  i'm assuming that the study editions are the ones that they only give to members/ those who attend meetings.. .

  So sorry to hear about your wife and your marriage. I would imagine it's nearly impossible to

  stay married to someone who is a JW...there are so many conflicts at every turn. Holidays,

  birthdays, children all become problems. Of course, it's futile to try and argue your point with them.

  They're so convinced the have "the truth" that anything you say will only push them further into

  believing you're being influenced by Satan.

  My sister recently returned a few years ago. We barely speak. I don't know what to say to her as she

  feels it's okay to preach to me but when I start bringing up things about the organization she gets upset

  and thinks I'm trying to negatively influence her. We used to be real close. We used to talk about growing up

  JW and how damaging it was. Now she wants to go back?? I just don't understand. You lost your wife.

  I lost my sister AND my best friend. I will never be the same.

  Jehovah's witness meetings are NOT BORING......

  by punkofnice in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ...i was told but they usually were as i look back.. as a lad i'd sit and look to see who the lights would fall on.

  i'd get an almond and see how long i could suck it before i chewed at it.

  i'd imagine playing rock'n'roll on the congregation's piano.. how did you get through the meetings when you were bored?.

  I loved to write (still do) and I would note every stupid thing that came out of anyone's mouth. Needles to say,

  rarely stopped writing. I collected all the sheets of paper and put them in a folder. I lost the folder years

  ago..or I think when I moved out of my parents' house I left it and they did. Shame though. There were

  some real good ones.

  One time my older sister (who wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed) was reading from a scripture,

  the one about the stars will answer in applause, and instead of applause, she said applesauce.

  I got sent to the back with a right rolicking for laughing so hard.

  My mother stopped asking a few years ago when I said that I'd

  rather have my toenails ripped out with pliers instead.
