  s-303 form 1988 .

  today i uploaded to my blog a new article detailing the information watchtower has historically asked circuit overseers to gather during their bi-annual visits to congregations of jehovahs witnesses.

  the article is titled s-303 form 1988 and is available at: http://marvinshilmer.blogspot.com/2011/05/s-303-form-1988.html.

  on the news the other day they showed a young man after graduating from high school went out and got drunk and had a bad car accident.

  he was paralyze from the waist down.

  instead of going into deep depression of what he did to himself he started his life over and went to college and was involved in inventing a exoskeleton for disable people.

  All our houses would look like KH's with little to no windows. The elders would be incharge of every aspect of our lives. I'd say like living in Egypt, before any revolt? Would there still be FS? The NS is right around the corrner? who would die at the big A? Paranoia extream! They would all fear the Big A cuz there were no worldly people to die!? Lots of closet alcoholics... oh they have them already

  As a JW Did you Feel " Guilted " to go to Meetings /Service if Injured /Sick ?

  by flipper in

  many people in the jehovah's witnesses , older ones, younger ones have been expected to pioneer, go in field service with physical disabilities and are even considered "martyrs" if they push themselves to their physical capacities beyond reasonableness .

  thus many witnesses feel sick, exhausted, tired, and essentially fight depression due to high expectations to " burn out " for the wt society.

  have any of you experienced this while in the witnesses ?.

  I went with migraines and would sit in the back room with the lights off crying... I went after a dry socket tooth removal again in the back crying... I went when there was way too much snow to drive safely....

  i don't post a ton here because i'm kinda shy.

  that's the amazon link (which is currently the most affordable, i believe, but it's also available for preorder at b&n, borders, indiebound, and indigo-chapters if you're in canada, if you prefer one of those retailers).. .

  Cult of Personality

  by iamwhoiam in

  it's funny how when you are able to take a step back an look at the big picture...you start to notice things that are just a bit wierd.. for instance...at the meeting the other night, we all sang song number 58 (notice the first verse).

  then look at the songs in the rest of the songbook...and you will see that verses of this nature are in pretty much every other song.

  keep singing these over and over at the kh and you begin to memorize them and eventually find yourself singing or humming them later without realizing it.

  I chose DA and put the sticky note on the KH door so that "they" would see. It worked they all knew I DA myself when the announcment was made. For me I wanted to say I don't want to be known as a JW. But, it was extreamly hard on my JW brother when he found out. Getting DF you have hope choosing DA not so much hope.

  When did this forum go apostate?

  i was curious because i had heard simon was a jw when he started this forum.

  i was looking through the old posts, but couldn't really pinpoint one that was a "turning point" so-to-speak.

  simon must have left the j-dubs at some point.

  I think the word apostate is a twisted word only taught by JWs and serves a real ability to keep there minds from thinking.
