CO visits me today

by Chook in

i'm at home and hear knock on door , i sneak and look i see two men and recognise one voice and go back into lonunge and ask wife ( who is inactive believer) does she want to speak to elders ,she says no ,then literally 3 minutes has pasted another knock the 3 minutes seemed like an eternity.

so brave heart me think fuck it i'll answer ,i invite them in for coffee, i recognise one older man he is a unique elder who i genuinely was fond of when i was in his name is andrew ,the other guy i didn't recognise we will call harry ( not real name australia doesn't have that many cos with his same name).

so i think to myself i will tread lightly and not cause to much of a fuss for the wife's sake, but my personality is very the opposite of treading lightly ,as you read my threads you will realise i'm not timid.

Last year we got a knock knock on the front door. I did not open.

Great story, you have guts.

Here in Holland I did not hear about sanctions.

See even lesbian and gay former jw children in parents and other jw family list.

So, there is a lot of virtual contact between former and current jw's.

When I see JW facebook profiles I notice many DA children and family in the contact list. So yes, it is an issue.

A positive issue.

Bible on cassette

by road to nowhere in

one thing that i questioned years ago was the release of bible reading so you could listen.

then when we finally got a tape it was in a thick german accent.

so much for getting the meaning of it..

What's wrong with Dutch? Germans speak German. The Dutch speak Dutch.

The denial of 1975 when and how did they go about it.

by Crazyguy in

i was pretty young in 1975, all i remember was a few complaining at the hall after and those at the door that razed us over it.

does anyone remember how they went about denying it and when this started.

i do remember a scripture in psalms about people being mighty and living longer so this was used.

Read dr. Richard Singelenberg thesis about this subject. Great research.
