Definition of "Negativity" according to JWs
by LongHairGal in
1. jw
2. experiences
i recently had a falling-out with a jw which i won't go into because it is nonsense really.

in one of the pathetic retorts i was told i was "negative".

this wasn't the first time i heard this from a jw over the years.. what i have noticed is that it is because i spoke about real life situations in the world and/or problems and wrong things in the religion.

help! husband going to convention

hi friends!.

so my story is this: i married a jw who was inactive and once we got married he got back into "the truth" and i started to "study" with people in his congregation.

i had many red flags and was hesitant to knocking on doors, but after a year of "what does the bible teach" being studied with a pioneer and having been pressured to go to meetings, i too, became a jw.

after reading that 'assembly survival techniques' entry by kingagag, i was reminded of all the great quotes i took from previous assemblies/conventions/impositions of israelite rules on christian congregation (meeting 3 times in a year--straight out of the ot).

i noticed something about the programs.. every concluding talk for every program shifts the focus to the faithful slave.

the final talk at the convention referenced that term at least 8 times.

"My Book of Bible Stories" returned for being "too violent for kids." You Agree?
by Witness 007 in
1. jw

obviously a book written for kids by old dumb morons at bethel the book starts with abels murder {with pictures for the kids} people begging to get into the ark before drowning to death...a good lesson for kiddies!

a women putting a tent peg thru someones temple {with pictures} moses killing an egyptian.

etc a horrified atheist lady returned the books my mother gave as "gifts" {count 2 placements} after seeing the horrific topics, she decided it was "not apropriate for her kids.".

So I did it - almost!

2. experiences
today, i'm not quite sure how it started, but i voiced my concerns about the religion i've been brought up in since i was 3. my dad went straight on the offensive, though kept nice and polite.

i told them that someone can not be df for accepting a transfusion.

not sure why i started with that example, but nevertheless... dad said 'since when' and started pumping me for information, when, where, what...you get the picture and biggest one of all 'how do you know this'.
