Yahoo Answers
by problemaddict inso i went over there for the first time ever just to kind of check it out.
i am shocked by the large amount of jw's on there.
(i am less shocked that they are copying and pasting the jw.org website and refferencing it, without ever answering any questions).. my thought is this.....is the new attention to jw.org going to embolden jw's to start preaching via the web?
-
MrFreeze
A lot of people ask questions on there to "troll". For JW questions, mostly it is apostates just trying to get a rise out of current JW's.

No more doubts for me! Good-bye JWN! We have THE TRUTH!
by DATA-DOG ini could go on and on about my personal journey over the last 2 years or so, but i don't need to.
everything i needed to hear to finally lay my doubts to rest happened on one meeting night.
it could only be divine providence.

The trumpet blasts corresponded to different conventions in Ohio, despite them being out of order chronologically...
How is this any better than the Garden of Eve being in Mississippi or wherever it was according to the Mormons?

stepmom died 2 weeks ago
by love2Bworldly injust thought i would share with everyone how my jw sister treats our family.
my stepmother passed away 2 weeks ago, and had been in and out of the hospital.
so my brother told my jw sister, and she came running to town (5 hour drive) and they didn't call me but did call my oldest sister who then called me.. the jw sister took what items she wanted and left town.

There is no love in this organization unless you are "in". Sorry for your loss.

Christmas Songs?
by leaving_quietly inthere are certain songs sung at christmas time that have nothing whatsoever to do with christmas.
i've been reading lyrics lately to make sure, then i make comments to my uber-jw wife, who really, really hates what i'm saying.
for example, the song, "let it snow" has nothing to do with christmas.
-
MrFreeze
I actually hate most of these songs anyway... unless they are sung by Crooner's.

Nervousness While Commenting?
by schlick inwas always shy about public speaking of any kind.
when i commented, my heart would beat as rapid as a moving train.
and oh if it was something i tried to remember then it would be forgotton the second being put on the spot.
-
MrFreeze
I wouldn't comment.
If you are the kind of person who gets nervous in public speaking, you will probably always be that way. Even Ringo Starr says he still gets nervous when going out to perform.
No reason to give yourself more anxiety than is necessary.

Is this CA experience mind control or worship of man?
by hoser inthis goes back some time several years perhaps even 10 or so.. .
i was at the circuit assembly and during the announcements the chairman said you may sit if you wish this will take some time to read this.
i forget what it was about but everyone sat down except the district overseer and his wife.. then the people sitting close by the do started to get up to stand again and there was this group of about 100 who were standing around the do.

What a horrible waste of time and brain cells these assemblies are.

post meeting dirty moods.
by zeb inso you are 'out' and the other in 'in'.
do they come home with the grumps after every meeting?.
-
MrFreeze
I always agreed that if you went to a meeting with a headache or something you felt better after the meeting was over. They pinned it on the loving atmosphere and holy spirit. Wasn't until later I realized it had nothing to do with that. Instead it was the relief that the frickin meeting was over.
I know when I was out and family was in, they would be all smiles when they came home. Had to put on a false front. I can tell because they were a lot more chipper than when I was actually going to meetings.
