approximately about 10 meters, we saw him smile.

A JW encounter in Hong Kong
by Listener in

2. beliefs
last week i was in hong kong on a holiday and ran into some jws.

i was in a large shopping mall and noticed a number of jws holding out a pamphlet to passerbys.

before i knew it there was one walking towards me and stopped right in front of me stopping me from moving forward.. the jw was virtually shoving the pamphlet towards me and said i would like to offer you this pamphlet that directs you to a web site that will answer all your questions that you have about life.

What would be your favorite job if you could do anything.?
by new hope and happiness in
1. social
2. relationships
on the basis that most of us realise the w.t wasnt really the best " job" or way to spend our days, it would be fun to find out what people would really have liked to have done with there lifes and if this is still possible.

or maybe its not even a very realistic ambition just a dream.

in my dreams i stay at home all day and make a living from being a professional artist.maybe i need a phycholgist?.

my spouse felt a need to tell to elders about me reading apostate websites and speaking against wt stuff , so they'll probably try to readjust my apostate thinking any time soon.

my spuse never see me reading anything but, during our arguments i did't keep my mouth shut and she knows that i had to read it somwhere and it wasn't jw.org.

could this get my in the trouble if my spose is the only witness and never spoke to another person about this stuff ?

What I really hate....
by Perversion of a truth in
1. jw
2. friends
is that i was born into this cult, taught and believed that i was going to live forever, , that i was never going to have to die.

now i am in my mid 30's realizing that this life is all there is and that after that i am dead forever and i am terrified.

i don't want this to be all there is, , i don't want to just live a few years on this beautiful planet and then become non existent forever!
