  Just wanted to say...

  ... how truly great this place is.. i have not been on many forums, but i think this one is unique and strong in a very important way.

  it is of course a support group for those exiting the wts, or trying to deal with remaining within it, first and foremost.

  but the awesome thing about this place is how it welcomes everyone.

  I just want to say jw net is a very good place and I don't know why sometimes people get so upset and threaten to leave. This really is a kind place.

  i wear whatever I want now and I shop less. They forced me to be interested in clothes buying dresses and shoes and whatever it was expensive now I'm following my own clothing path which as it turns out is a little on the dull side because clothes don't interest me. You find out things about yourself when you leave.

  So ... what happens when we die?

  what do you personally believe happens after we die?

  i don't believe we really know everything about god or the afterlife.

  i do believe that we do transform to something beyond our physical comprehension.

  I really don't know the answer but i ponder it daily and try to look for real evidence not just what I would like to be true or what someone thinks is true. i wil continue to investigate till I run out of time.

  Hospitality after Public Talk - ???

  by RubaDub in

  i see a lot of mentions about hospitality after the public talk and honestly, i guess it is a practice that was not in the ny/ct area i grew up in or here in south florida today.. i grew up with an elder father and grandfather who gave public talks and were generally well-liked.

  as a child, i never recall being invited to someone's house after the meeting.

  granted, it was rare to travel more than an hour but regardless, it was typical to get in the car and head home after the "amens.

  In our congregation each bookstudy was assigned to feed the speaker and his family no matter who it was the problem was that sometimes the bookstudy would not contribute. The burden was on the elder of the bookstudy and sometimes the speaker arrives with four kids expecting a meal and the options were if you couldn't feed them at your house you had to take them out to a restaurant. We had to ask members of our bookstudy to cough up some money and i hated doing it but we didn't have the cash to feed six people and ourselves sometimes. I often said the whole thing should be abolished but my complaints were attributed to a wife who doesn't know her place.

  The whole idea was not bad it just was difficult because everyone would try to skip out on it and the hall cleaning as well which was also by bookstudy.

  We do well to ask ourselves "is this organization completely nuts?"

  Should we still be angry with the Watchtower? Should we "forgive" the WT?

  I get so sick of this treacherous heart bs. They try so hard to make a person lose their confidence in their own abilities. Even if we say crazy things it's okay we speak for god just obey w/o any second thoughts because if you have any doubts something is wrong with you and your heart has turned evil because of your questioning attitude.
