the watchtower influence was often not positive, and there was no evidence that it had in the long run helped those who had emotional problems when they joined.

JW Culture Survey: Two-piece swimsuits? OK for JWs?

by Open mind in

up front, i'm not talking about jw baptisms.

we all know the approved female attire is a "modest" swimsuit and even that's not modest enough, so they slap a big t-shirt over the "modest" swimsuit.. .

i'm talking about anywhere else jws and water would mix: the beach, the pool, the river, etc.

JRK

Better keep them ankles covered!

Modest two-pieces were okay here. Bikinis would have been better for us young brothers to observe though.

WT Society wants Elders to Conceal Information to Psychiatrists- Elders Bk.

my wife and i have read carefully through chapter 5 of the new elders manual when we do our " personal study " in bed on saturday mornings !

so without further delay , notice this quote from the new elders manual, " there are times when an emotionally distressed christian may seek professional help.

whether a christian or his family pursues treatment from psychiatrists , psychologists, or therapists is a personal decision.

Flip,

Why be tied up for the weekend when I could get you some handcuffs?

prologue.

get out shouted the audience you must be ashamed of yourself.

the crowd was in a hysterical state, every time that we tried to say something we were silenced by the clapping and screams which got louder and louder of the majority of the two hundred people in attendance.

villalobo,

Me too, on two different occasions. I was a glutton for punishment.

I was shunned

by cantleave in

in the fareham shopping centre.. a "sister" saw me.

pretended not to see me, dropped her her head and moved very quickly in the opposite direction.. i love being a dangerous apostate!!

JRK

Get used to it. I am paying for an airline ticket for my mother to visit my sister who has shunned me for almost a decade. I will do it for my mother, but Sis can rot in hell.
