  WT speaks out on phone sex!! LOL!

  i was reading the "mobile phone" thread and then found the article below on the official wt web site.

  i'm surprised they don't tell people to empty the garbage and polish their shoes when they get horny rather than engage in phone sex.

  why the wt feels the need to comment on these topics is really beyond me, but it's good for a laugh.. http://www.watchtower.org/library/g/2004/2/22b/article_01.htm.

  Change it to NO. What you believed about the JW's then is nothing compared to what has come to light now about the religion. If you feel that strongly about going into the military there is no reason to list YES now. I'm guessing you have never ever been in a position to make a legal claim of being a conscientious objector before, so you would not be lying. Don't let your past beliefs in this religion take a chance of hurting your future.

  The longest prayer you had ever endured.

  from personal experience i know it usually happens at the end of a district convention.

  it would be either the do, co or an experienced elder.. they usually go through everything that was said throughout the dc and thank jehovah for this and that...... last year i used my stop watch to record the time taken by our do,.

  by the time he said amen!

  I can remember at one DC the guy giving the final prayer was flipping 3X5 note cards. I was sitting high up behind the stage because I was late of course. I nudged my wife so she could see him do it.

  OMG.....sickening!

  My husband has a lot of Native American ancestry on both sides of his family, Cherokee and Pohawatomi. He's also French, English and Scots.

  Grandmother on my Father's side was 1/2 Cherokee. Grandmother on my Mother's side was 1/4 Cherokee. I think that makes me 1/5 Cherokee, but the rest is mainly English, so I look like a white guy.

  "Short Notice" Talks or Demo's

  did you ever have to give a "short notice" talk or demonstration?

  didn't it put alot of pressure on you to come up with something, because someone else cancelled out or you could have been informed sooner?.

  i was all the time put in this situation.

  I was all the time put in this situation. Come to the Sunday meeting and find out the Speaker isn't coming, so you prepare something while they have the WT study first. Get a call very late Sat night that a cong. in the circuit needs a Speaker in the morning and they were given your name. Once had to give the Memorial talk being notified that morning. Even short notice Service meeting parts or demo's could be stressful. What were your experiences?

  weirdest thing ever just happened.. my daughters toy started playing music by itself.

  there was nothing around it that could have caused it to do that.

  and it just happened 4 times in a row and then i called out to my husband and it just stopped.

  I ran the mile when on the school track team. Ironically, that race info probably also gives you a clue to my skin color.

  What year Did you Stop Attending Meetings - How Long were you a JW ?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm trying to compare some statistics and figures on this to share later in the thread to see if more long-time witnesses are exiting- or are newer witnesses exiting after a shorter period of time.

  and - are more people exiting in the last 10 to 15 years than before.

  so your answers would be helpful in looking into this .

  ARRGH - Post Memorial Calls

  by Simon Morley in

  seems that our 1st non attendance at the memorial has put us on the "1 sheep out of 100 radar".

  we have been inundated with calls (we usually do a good job of screening) and the drop by in service wed, thurs and yesterday of some of the die/blowhards.

  i fully expect another in about an hour.

  If you give anykind of reply, stay away from doctrinal stuff, but flip it onto the religion itself. You are tired, stressed, depressed, burnt out, etc. This religion requires all these meetings, all these assemblies, all this bible study, all this FS time, all these other activities, nothing is ever good enough, you are always pushed to do more, you feel the friends are unloving or uncaring, etc. That puts them on the defense without resorting to doctrinal issues and they can't defend those overwhelming things that bring a person down.

  I have no interest in engaging in any discussion and wonder if any one of you have the "kill 'em in their tracks" comeback phrase - that is to the point, polite and does not trigger the "ohh they sound apostate" drivel.

  I just left and never attended again. Oddly enough, although an elder I really only got a couple of "encouragement" visits. I never got controversial, because I just wanted everyone (particularly the older sisters) to remember us as we were when we left. I would just tell them that because of all this religion requires from a person that right now you are just tired & depressed. They will soon accept your inactivity and you can move on.
