  i'm back with the fourth part of my life experience.

  the part will mean little if the previous ones haven't been read.

  My Experience in the Watchtower (Part Three)

  by Eiben Scrood in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it's been a long time but some may remember that i wrote part one of my life story a couple of years ago.

  i followed that up with part two a few months later.

  i have found that i have to be in a certain mindset to write about these things and only now have i been able to continue with the third part.

  Times Indefinite Is Gone

  by Eiben Scrood in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i checked daniel 2:44: "never be brought to ruin" is now "be destroyed" and "it itself will stand to times indefinite" has changed to "and it alone will stand forever".. they made such a stink about not using "forever" in the past.

  it's interesting that they changed this..

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  what is life without some excitement, yes, even some danger?

  i know the people on the right path care about me and will look after me.

  i have tried for many years to follow this path the way i have been told to.

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i had related the first part of my story in part one.

  thanks for all the responses and sorry for the wait for part two!

  Pioneers and Their Way of Counting "Time"

  by Eiben Scrood in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the congregations in my area there was an expression to the effect that 'there's counting time and then there's the way pioneers count their time'.

  the watchtower's guidelines were pretty strict on when time could be counted.

  some pioneers followed it and others didn't.. on particularly motivated young man comes to mind, he would work full-time or close to it and pioneer.

  Just Saw This on Facebook

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'll occasionally "stalk" my former watchtower friends on facebook.

  i find a lot leave their walls and photos public and it's kind of fun to see how they look and what's going on.. i found this post today: "imagine how whitney will sound when she's perfect.".

  i literally wanted to gag.

  What Do You Say or Is It Better to Saying Nothing?

  by Eiben Scrood in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i miss some of my old watchtower friendships.

  usually i can just put the people out of my mind but when a big event comes up like me expecting my first child, i did reach out a bit.

  this one friend in particular was kind of like an older brother to me.
