Ignore it, it goes on all the time
I knew two pioneers who would screw each other before the field service meeting.
i know a regular pioneer, she's 18 years old.
i just knew that she had a relationship with a politician and a vicepresident of a certain parish church.
i told the elders about it.

whats the science on leg warmers?
why is that i can see a woman with socks on and it does absolutely nothing for me, but i see leg warmers, and i'm intrigued?.
not hot.
Nothing!
single christians make the most of their singleness?.
of christians, therefore, have come to.
singleness in youth.
I can honestly say that in all my years as a JW I have only met one person who I would consider to be happy & single.
This brother was a CO who men wanted to be like and women wanted to be with. With his smile he could snap knicker elastic from 100 yards!
As for every other singleton, they would have traded their right arm to be married.
Another 'fact' is that rather than being looked up to by the congregation, single people (even those who have pioneered for 25 years) ae often treated as a figure of 'fun'.
My experience of congregations is that there is only a small pool of single people who very often marry at a very young age. In fact if I had not left the JWs whilst in my mid 20s I would probably still be single today.
I think the WTs motivation for the article is due to the organisations poor record of successfull marriages over the last 20 years. I find the amount of divorce and cases of adultery amongst my former peer group quite staggering.
jehovahs witnesses presumptive terms that that they apply to themselves: help me point out some more presumptive terms that do manipulate people by hearing it all the time.. .
1. gods clean organization" (as though, they are aware of all hidden secrets within the rank and file at any given moment , and they are arthorized from god to declare someone clean or not clean when in reality it is christ ransom that accomplishes this.).
2. the christian congregation" (as though, no one else can lay claim to being christian or christ like".
Kingdom smile
i never really carried anything on me.
it was always fun getting the card signed and all (a welcome change of pace at the service meeting).
but i always thought it looked too weird to have that in my wallet.
No, and I don't remember anyone ever discussing the subject, except when the new cards were issued.
witnesses are supposed to be "exemplary" and not like the "world".
yet some jws are pretty notorious.. did you know of any jws that did some real bad things?.
i knew a pious witness who got caught twice trying to solicit prostitutes.
My favourite was a single brother I knew who would have sex with a pioneer sister before the meeting for field ministry. As far as I know nobody ever found out.
Then there was the usual adultary, incest, theft, drug taking etc
if someone did this at a kingdom hall regardless of the directions, what would happen?
would the bride run away shrieking in horror while dodging this satanic shower.
would the groom and his "boys" drag the person out of the hall, so witnesses could shower them with rocks?
I was at a witness wedding where the best man raised his glass and asked everyone to join him in a toast. He was the brides brother, the reaction was complete silence, nobody moved or said a word. Looking back I wish that I had had the balls to join him.
the wts has announced the usual handbill invitation "campaign" for the conventions this year.
i haven't seen a copy but i assume that it will be similar to the one for congregation meetings and from previous years.
the usual 30 per publisher allocation.. i seriously wonder about the efficacy of these campaigns.
Most JWs I knew, including myself would literally sh*t themselves if anyone ever expressed an interest in "the troof"
again...please do not request a pdf scan these are interbranch copies not the same ones sent to the congregations.
jwf.. january 21, 2010 .
to all bodies of elders .
"come to his senses" LOL
this is making the rounds.
he doesn't serve jehovah.
i'd like to tell you a story, about true love at last.
This makes me angry
Walk into almost any KH and you will find dubs who are divorced, wife beaters, adulterers etc.
I find the level of divorce / infidelity quite staggering amongst dubs, at least 50% of the age group that I grew up with have been affected in this way.
Just been informed that yet another pair of 18 year olds are to be married in my old congregation - the chances of being together by their 30s are stacked against them!
