How long should I hold my breath?
by BackRoomBilly in

how long do you think it will take before the wts is exposed for what it really is?.

i sort of thought the whole 1914 thing would blow the lid off this thing.

it's obvious they wormed their way out of another one.. do you think there will ever be a grand climax and jws will just start leaving in record numbers?

I agree with most of the posters above.
I too wanted to see this mass unveiling.....but I don't think it will happen. People are conditioned to 'believe'......and they have almost been setting the stage for some of this stuff....
I do think a major change in the blood policy.....like it becoming "a conscience matter" would shake things up. Imagine the people who have lost loved ones????? I think the same thing about admittance that DFing is barbaric and UnChristian.......but then again, think of all the people that have lost people.....the suicides, etc.
Somehow, I think it will just keep going.

What accusations do you have about us JWs? AND what group are YOU a part of?

i'm one of the few jws that freely admit our faults and mistakes.. let's compare notes!.

MadJW,
Unfortunately, your replies above show what is mostly wrong with JW's: you don't emulate Jesus in how you treat others.
Your sarcastic, erroneous tone betrays you......
Very sad....but very evident that JW's are not living proof of John 13:34, 35, nor do they treat people the way Jesus does (1 Pet. 2:21, 23)

glutton...fails to show love for jehovah.

is food a big thing in his life?

if in the presence of others, does he selfishly ignore their needs and take more than his fair share?

I got another one for you RR:
Its okay to beat your wife.........afterall, when you get married you are 'one'.......and Paul said to pummel your body and lead it as a slave......therefore, its totally okay to abuse your wife.

I think of all the time I spent dedicating myself to an organization and people that flat out could care less.....
I think about not going to college and having to struggle to make a living now....
I think about the awful sisters I've dated.....
Enh...........I think I'm angry today........

ARRGH - Post Memorial Calls
by Simon Morley in
1. jw
2. friends
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.

Loz,
Very wise advice.
Don't argue....and DON'T SHARE if you're trying to fade away.
Stick to your guns....smile...avoid calls, change your voicemail, delete emails, don't answer Facebook.
FADE..............

Rated R Movies?
by NikL in
1. jw
2. friends
been wondering if the jw's are still told to not see them.

seems like i haven't seen or heard anything like that in a few years.. .
daringhart13

Blondie is absolutely correct.
I was at the meeting....I even had the chance to serve closely with Guy Pierce, who went after those that watched R rated movies.
If you watch an R Rated movie, you're getting removed.
Meanwhile, in Canada......they use their conscience.

i never felt that "friendship".

Yes......I can't say it any better than Peaches did....
Jehovah is very loving.....its man that is something you have to protect yourself from.

The last CO I served with was actually the catalyst for me exiting.
One of the most unkind people I've ever met.

Memorial 2010 Your Experiences
by scotinsw in

just got back from memorial.

only went so that i could say to my parents that i had gone and to remind myself why i left.. oh my word!!!

it was sooooo painful.. got there a bit late - it was a couple of minutes into the talk.
daringhart13

I went and for my mother........and even.......GASP......put my arm around her......thats a sin now, right?
The speaker mentioned 10,000 partakers last year and I started giggling. My row looked at me.....they were all clueless.
I whispered to my sister "I guess there were a few 96 year olds that came back from heaven to partake again."
99 percent of those in attendance just stared straight ahead......like the fact that partakers is GROWING is no big deal.
They will do the same during April 15ths "Generations" discussion
I basically sat there thinking "I used to give this talk"........its was surreal.
