  me and hubby stopped attending around 2000, and for some strange reason i have stored all the books we were using at that time.

  i am so tempted to light the barbeque ...and burn the lot...as it is soooo cccold here in the north west of england!

  The WTS and Frequent Liar Points

  by Hopscotch in

  1. social

  i have read on here of the frequent flyer points racked up by bethelites etc on wts business and it made me think of this.. .

  frequent liar points.

  the wts has told so many lies to its members, the public and the media that if there were points accumulated for frequent lies then surely they would have a huge tally of them.. .

  I’ve kind of been lurking on this website for a month and I’ve decided to introduce myself so a little background. I was born and raised JW at about the age of sixteen I started to have doubts about my mothers chosen religion (dad is not JW) so started to do some research and decided it wasn’t for me. My mothers still at me about going back though. So both my sisters are out and my brothers still in along with his wife and child.

  So to the question above I love my mother and brother don’t get me wrong but sometimes when I spend time with them I leave these encounters so tired that I feel like I could sleep for days. My sisters tell me I’m being to sensitive that mother and brother aren’t going to change and I should just let it go. Does anyone else get like this? Am I being to sensitive like my sisters say?

  "unless they know and love jehovah first.

  they love "jehovah".

  they discuss how to make sure that though they are in charge, everyone doesn't see them, they see the great and powerful jehovah.... oh.

  I agree with you jeff having an unbeliveing father I know exactly how cruel this practice is when I left the borg at sixteen I suddenly dicovered this whole other human being called DAD. I now respect my mother but I love my dad and that discovery in itself was worth leaving for.

  so you heard that with all the surgeries michael jackson had over the years that he was probably 99% plastic?

  after the autopsy is done, the body is to be shipped to the lego factory.

  ...yeah, they are going to melt him down into legos........ .

  I can't imagine doing THAT in my wildest dreams.....

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  putting on a three piece suit to spend a 90 degree summer day knocking on doors and trespassing!dragging an entire family, including babies and young children to three or four day meetings in an outdoor stadium, living in a seedy motel room for the week.getting home from work and spending the next six hours cramming for a 'theocratic review', getting the entire family ready to go, gulping down dinner, and speeding off to the hall, and then finally getting home around 11 pm, hurrying off to bed so that everyone could get up for work and school in the morning!going to school to explain to the teachers why little johnny can't color pictures of santa, salute the flag of his country, eat birthday cake with all the other 5 year olds, bow his head when prayer is offered, or exchange valentines with all the cute 5 year old girls in class.

  and then explaining with grace why he is not immersed in a cult!well, on and on!

  these things were typical of my witness life - now i cannot imagine ever doing such silly things, and especially thinking that somehow they would bring pleasure to my god!.

  My fav when I was kid they were building us a new hall while the new one was being built we had meetings in an old scout hall middle of winter no heating I was around seven years old and all I can remember is being so cold i felt like crying. The key to being a good Dub child memorise all the often repeated things big A, obedience ec. That way if anyone asks a question you can just give them the anser that you know they want!

  WHY DOES ‘UNDERSTANDING’ WOMEN CAUSE SUCH AN IMPACT…??

  by Mr. Majestic in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i bumped into this reaction (nearly called it a problem) when i was a jw.

  being that single sisters were out of bounds to chat to (unless you were thinking of marrying them), i thought that it was a safe(er) option to chat to married sisters.

  i reasoned that they would have been happy in their marriage so chatting to them wouldnt be such a problem.
