  What year Did you Stop Attending Meetings - How Long were you a JW ?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm trying to compare some statistics and figures on this to share later in the thread to see if more long-time witnesses are exiting- or are newer witnesses exiting after a shorter period of time.

  and - are more people exiting in the last 10 to 15 years than before.

  so your answers would be helpful in looking into this .

  Stopped in 2008, age 37.

  Returning in may, 2010 for family reasons. Only attending, no preaching.

  I'll remain a critical anti-organisational JW.

  Mary thanks for sharing your visit to the KH. I attended the memorial also. I missed totally the historical perspective of the memorial. No going-back to the period of the first christians. Only the big picture about how Jehovah and Jesus save us if we believe in watchtower theology. It was the first time in a year I attended the KH, I didn't have the new song book. It was strange! It seems they were singing these songs for the first time. The invitation was funny. An old brother read the invitation word by word, very fast. He did not understand it, only read it.

  It was a show, a symbol of once in a year being nice to new people in the KH. But I did not se Christian love. It was technocrat love.

  JW-girls on Dutch XFactor

  by Lady Viola in

  2. friends

  very funny video from 2 jw girls on the dutch xfactor.

  it will start at about 2.33.. one of the jury (left) says 'they have such smug faces, they look like jehovah's witnesses'.

  when they tell him they are jw's, he's laughing his head off.... http://www.rtl.nl/components/shows/x...ctor_s3_a3.xml .

  The Dutch (Netherlands) and the Danish (Denmark) are the most liberal JW's. You can make everything there.

  The young JW do everything thats forbidden by the society etcetera

  Hi Open Mind,

  I did not play "Your Song" , but when I started playing "Philadelphia Freedom" I started seeing the light. At the end of the day "the Sun did go down on me".

  Since then I know "That's why they call it the Blues". I did also play "Song for Guy" but at that moment I was thinking " I want love", and I started fading from my "Believe".

  Then I played "Sad Songs Say So Much" and light a "Candle in The Wind". This all long before I met "The One".

  I hope that my good old friend, who "I don't wanna go on with you like that" does "Have Mercy on the Criminal" when I " Burn Down the Mission"

  and "Kissed the Bride".

  At one night I played many Elton John songs on the grand piano. "I'm still standing", "Saturday night All right for fighting" and of course "The Bitch is back".

  One of the old WTS officials came down the hall to see where the worldly music came from. When he noticed the crowd around the grand piano he went away.

  The night "Elton John" ruled at Strangnas ((: instead of the Kingdom Melody's! ((:

  It's a little bit funny!
