A Sister and a Brother alone
by Lilycurly in

i've been looking in the watchtower library all morning and can't find anything.. i know that jws have this rule (is it unwritten??

) where a brother and a sister should not be left alone in a car, a house, or any private place.

but my jw father says it's not so, and he spent a part of yesterday installing a computer program at a jw couple's house while the man was at work and the wife was at home.

How far would you go to protect your fade?
by jabberwock in
1. jw
2. friends
trying to fade inevitably involves some compromises.

still, i wonder how far i would be willing to go in order to leave on my own terms and not be disfellowshipped or pushed to disassociate.. at what point would you just give up and let them disfellowship you or send in a letter of disassociation?.

what would you do if someone found your copy of of crisis of conscience?.

Embarrassed myself by following WT dating advice
by White Dove in
1. jw
2. friends
i was a good little dubby.

i tried to keep up with studying, only had jw friends, and always followed what the wt pubs said about how to date.

if there was a brother that i was interested in, i'd ask if it would be okay to get to know him better.

Recent assembly

1) stop using internet,facebook,myspace,email,texting and spend more time studying and in service.. my mate quit their facebook page when we came home lol.

2) maybe i am just more tuned into it now, but they mentioned "apostate" a lot more this time around, espicially when talking about the internet.. it keeps me thinking, if there is nothing to hide, then why is there such a big push not to look?

it's like an ugly girlfriend not wanting her boyfriend to look at the girls on the beach .

Hi again, I've been absent for a bit
by Marni Mai in
1. jw
2. experiences
i was previously crazyblonde (couldn't get into my account after being absent for a while 0_o).. long story short, things have been interesting.. i'm successfully in the faded stage now.

got a bit of hounding - had a few elders calling and texting my husband about me (he's still in, kinda).

had an 'unexpected drop in' at our place too, which i didn't even know about until after as my hubby kept them outside.

Baptism

2. beliefs
so i was thinking about baptism today, and something that was said in my jc meeting a few months ago.

i was baptized at the ripe old age of 10. yes that's right, 10. that should be illegal.

what kind of 10 year old knows what they want to do for the rest of their life?

2. friends
i'd like to know who you all are on the board.. you dont have to identify yourself personaly as i understand some need to be ingocnito.

i am also curious to see if any of my old childhood and adult life friends have made it onto here.. me: lived in ballarat 70s, naracoorte in the 80s, adelaide in the 90s.

traveled to york w.a as a teen and to alice springs and brisbane early twenties.. of course, if you need to be silent, thats fine too!
