i have read this on this site and know some that do this type of work.
if most jw's are window washers, what other occupations are considered the type of jobs that a witless would have.

what about you, is it better would you go back, i shudder when i think i could still be in that nut house, being ground into the dust waiting to start living my life in the new order (god dosent that phrase want to make you vomit) .
of course i have my problems just as many as when i lived in lala land, but it helps you to cope when your happy.
love to hear your comments
this will be my third christmas and i love it!!!
i love buying gifts to my friends and family (those who are out) .
and best of all, this year i've got a boyfriend.
hey good for you, i hope you have many, many more great christmases with your family, friends and your new boyfriend.
oh and MERRY CHRISTMAS XXX
obviously this is for people who believe in an afterlife.. are jehovah's witnesses damned because of their beliefs?
please elaborate.. .
no more than any other crappy religion
a fundamental platform of the watchtower bible and tract society, from which its fearsome prognostications are launched, is the inexorable deterioration of the world.
the world is becoming a less and less hospitable place in which to live.
it seems with news of every earthquake, every natural catastrophe, every epidemic, every atrocity, and every disaster manmade or otherwise, there is the inevitable shaking of the finger and stern proclamation, "see?
every generation through out time as belived that they are at the end of the world, because there generation is so terrible.
of course the world seems worse now, the world as a massive population, we have world wide media etc etc
but when you look at the modern world the advances in medicine, years ago in victorian england over 50% of children didnt make it past five years old.
i remember growing up in a home where black mold creeped across the ceiling, with an outside toilet and a tin bath, who lives like that now in the western world. (not that i'm complaining i had a great childhood)
of course there are more murders, more tradgeys, theres more of us and weve filled the earth...yet we have laws that the majority of people and countries sign up to, yeah its not perfect, but over all most people are honest and good....so apart from the obvious problems, i'm happy to be here right now. good question.
growing up a jw, we always had family from out of town visit or we would go visit family.
it was fun to get together with my other jw cousins over christmas.
(however, it was hell going back to school in january as the only girl without a new sweater).. as a married jw though it was a different story.
i did the field service every year i was in the dreaded witness, hated it, i thought it was wrong as did many others at the time. i remember some years after i'd left, i was happily celebrating christmas with the little woman and the kids, when the js knocked. i encouraged the wife to answer the door. she said "no thank you i'm a bit busy right now" then popped her head back out and said "merry christmas".
i said "why did you wish them a merry christmas, they dont celebrate it"
"oh! i forgot"
it made me smile how uncomfortable she must have made the jw feel, but hey only the js would come round and not expect people to wish them a merry christmas on christmas day.

one must forget the misguided teaching of the watch tower before one can.
honestly address what is wrong with women teaching..i was one who believe.
women should not teach.
yeah let the babes teach.....obviously the bible was written by men

what a great question. i knew a sister who had a celebration bush (mmm!) strange but true, i never had the heart to ask what she was celebrating instead of christmas and why the celebration happened on the same day.
i tried to pretend i wasnt bothered, i think that out of the 7 christmas i spent as a witness, i only once managed to convince myself i wasnt totally missing out. then again on the bright side i appreciate christmas even more now.
most jws i knew had family around and the kids might get a present....all bollocks, but i belive that most witness dont actually really take the watchtower seriously, and its a lifestyle choice ..... some choice. anyway HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS
p.s if your still a jw get a celebration bush.
