  social media is saying that this individual was a jehovah's witness.

  They promissed us a paradise that never came. This book was a good marketing choice after the 1975 debacle. So they presented us this candy box. And now it is even not in jw library anymore.

  Beards

  by pgjallan in

  i left the witnesses.

  returned full bearded, which drew censure from a district overseer: “peter, you can’t witness door-to-door with a beard”.

  bewildered, i asked for an explanation.

  Here in Holland, we have elders with beards. Not a great deal here. G.

  those of you fading- with the memorial approaching are you going to appease family?

  not going and making up an excuse?

  acting like your going but not really?.

  What TV shows were forbidden in your JW household?

  by Funchback in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  in the u.s., three's company was not allowed.

  it was explained to me that it was an immoral show because a man and women lived together and no one was married.

  the sister who gave this observation was a family friend and we were newbies to the religion.. at least i somehow managed to watch the benny hill show undetected..

  It took a long time before we got a color TV, in my youth years we had a small b/w Zanussi micro TV.

  I remember my father forbid me to watch Billy Joels Goodnight Saigon music video and of course the popular Dutch youth TV serie about the Wizzard Tita Tovenaar.

  For me then a big issue, now in reprospective it is a minor issue.

  The Curious Case Of Brother B

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  there was a case in my old congregation that is shrouded in mystery that i'd like to share and get your views.

  this is something i've wanted to talk about for years but it's strongly shot down if you even try to talk about it in my old congregation.. it involves a certain brother b.. in my old congregation this brother was well liked.

  as a kid, we all knew him for being fascinated with dinosaurs.

  maybe he had to quit his Jurassic Park hobby, because of the Kingdom interest and he couldn't and he wouldn't...

  'Spotlight' film

  by Jordandemm in

  2. scandals

  has anyone seen the film dont know if its been discussed on here, im just watching it now with my dad he is an elder, he went to do something else less than a 1/4 way through the film, he doesnt usually do that.

  then he questioned why i choose to watch it not suspiciously i think he was just curious.

  anyway its a film worth watching, its based on true events about the coverup of child abuse within the catholic church.
