anyone have links to any sign language video help to get deaf people thinking about leaving wt?.
No, what I meant was, isn’t what is written on the internet enough for deaf exJWs?
I came out of the Borg at a time when YouTube wasn’t really big, so all we had was what was written on the internet, or books. Both of which are easily accessible to deaf ppl too.
what a load of crap this stupid belief was.
i'll give you a couple of examples.
i was the sign language interpreter for our congregation and there was about 15-20 deaf who regularly showed up.
Good topic.
I remember there was a time when our cong had to cook lunch at Sydney Bethel for the Ministry Training School.
One of the dishes being served was rice, to go with whatever the main dish was. One of the MS from our cong was in charge of cooking the rice.
He didn’t know how to cook rice.
He stirred it and continually stirred it, even though a couple of us sisters were standing nearby and trying to “suggest” (remember we can’t tell him what to do) that stirring the rice continuously isn’t going to produce the best results.
Gradually the rice turned into a slushy mess.
It was an embarrassment to serve up. And we know the poor guys it was served up to weren’t impressed.
But we had to be women in submission to the male.
Even if he didn’t have a clue how to cook rice.
LOL @ Misery. I like your humour.
i was waiting for the bus this morning (which didn't come until i decided to drive, then it showed up, naturally, after i already got on the road) when a jw approached the two people next to me, offering a tract.
she showed them psalm 83:18 first--same old, same old.
but hey, at least i admire her courage in sharing the scriptures with people, even if that particular scripture is, apparently, more important than any message from the christ that could possibly be shared with people.
Don’t beat yourself up over how you handled the situation. Meeting JWs unexpectedly can bring to the surface all kinds of emotions. I think you did good.
where do we go when we die?.
there are many very confusing concepts about this subject.
about where we go when we die, and no one i've found to date has really set forth a satisying answer to this question; so i thought i might just employ some of the knowledge i've gained from my own thirty year study of the bible.. where actually would be the most sensible place to begin when dealing with this subject?
Elsewhere beat me to it. I was going to say the undertakers.

Can't they read?
just wondering how many people on this board would consider themselves a socialist or communist?.
.
I lived with an American Communist in a post-Communist country for 6 months – and survived.
One day I’ll write a book about it.
i have 1 friend since leaving the borg.
1 friend who lives an hour away.
we talk through out the day, everyday but we only see each other about once a month.. i just found out my ex boyfriend who was trying to win me back and have me come back to him got a girl pregnant about a week or two after we broke up.
No, it’s not the world, it’s just the 2 crappy exes you have.
You will continue to be harassed by these guys until you say them, “go away and get out of my life!”
You HAVE to do it, unless you like the attention from these losers.
There’s been a thread floating around the last few days about making new friends. I suggest you read it. I know it’s not easy making friends when all your old friends were JWs, but you’ll get there.
Just hang in there.
And tell those guys to rack off!
because of a large plume of dust being blown to the uk by a volcanic eruption in iceland all aircraft in the uk and beyond have been grounded, no airplanes are flying at all, they will not be flying till tommorow at the earliest , and then maybe not.
apparently the dust can cause engines to stall, which has happened before.. heathrow is the busiest international airport in the world, and second busiest overall, the dislocation of passengers all over the world is massive.. .

Flights to Europe are also being grounded.
my sis has been studying for the past 4 months with a female jw and the same jw started whinning that she couldn't have sex with her hubby coz he's on medication,another female pioneer would tell her that she wanted to get laid but her other half is not horny or wouldn't satisfy her.isn't it wrong to talk about such things with a person who's just started associating with jws?.
p.s when my sister told me that,anger was what i felt.
If I were your sister, it wouldn’t exactly endear me to the religion.
“Become a JW and marry a brother who is lousy in bed.”
Maybe they are subconsciously telling her to run…. RUN!!!

They’re not just taking WT literature, they’re also getting personal, by taking away letters, journals and computers.
Overkill IMO.
