  What's the strangest thing you've heard someone seek counsel with the elders about?

  by keyser soze in

  personally, i never went to the elders with anything(not voluntarily, anyway).

  but a friend of mine once asked a couple of elders whether it would be acceptable for him and his wife to make a sex tape, for their own personal viewing.

  needless to say, the idea was frowned upon..

  when did things really take off for the wt in the uk?

  can anyone help with some research ideas?.

  the proclaimers book gives some ideas, but i'm wondering how quickly it grew.

  the reference to Glasgow caught my eye.

  my first mother-in-law was from Glasgow--and as far as i know--was born into the religion. had she still been alive--she would be in her 90's now.

  i only knew her from the mid-60's to the early 80's. she was fanatical. i understood her mother was a jw too. it means that side of my family has 5 generations in the religion. overlapping of course.

  What has or would motivate you to attend an Ex-JW meet up...

  by Tuesday in

  i just wanted to get a general consensus of what are the motivations to attend an ex-jw meet up.

  if you've already attended one before, what motivated you the first time or each successive time?

  if you've never attended an ex-jw meet up before what do you think could motivate you to attend one?.

  ive been to a few meetups in the last 2 years--met several on this thread---the very idea that any would try to recruit to another religion is laughable.

  i drink cheap white cider. i buy 2-3 three litre bottles a week---about £3-50 each. i never get drunk on it--or have a hangover. i rarely go into a pub--unless for a meal.

  most kids around here get drunk and go wild friday or saturday nights. after that--their benefit giros have all been spent so life is then normal for the next 5 nights.

  what do you call yourself?

  by bigmac in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the question is directed at those members who still attend the meetings--to whatever extent--to make life easier.

  those who perhaps still associate to keep the peace in their family.etc.-----but dont believe it any more.. what do you call yourself--a jehovah's wtness?

  what religion (if any) do you write in that box if a form asks you?.

  i dithered about in the religion for the period 1971-81. i never thought of myself as a jw in those years. i attended from time to time just to appease the wife. i really dont think anything would have happened (divorce ?) if i had stopped completely.

  if asked--i would say atheist--which i was then and nothing has changed.

  what do you think you are really--in your own mind?

  it would be intersting to read your responses.

  apostates undercover elders (i know there are some professed elders on here) have you ever handled a jc envoling a publisher viewing sites like jwn or others and who question the gb etc.. and if not what if you were assigned a jc involving apostacy?.

  i would think this would be almost, if not an impossible situation.. kensho.
