  How many JWs are genuinely in "good standing"?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  an interesting question arose from my earlier thread:.

  we all know that many jws do stuff that would get them disfellowshipped, but never get caught.

  but how many jws do you think there really are who have never kept any disfellowshipping "offense" secret?

  Going to Kingdom Hall for first time

  by InChristAlone in

  2. friends

  since my family is out of town, and i am alone this weekend, i have decided to attend this once to see these things for myself.

  have no fear, i have absolutely no interest in joining.

  my goal is simply to better understand how to reach those who are on the inside, and i feel i could better do that by observing it.

  eat lots of beans a few hours beforehand. during the meeting--see if you can break wind ( pass gas ) [ fart ]---a few times. it wont add anything to your experience--but the others will have something to talk about for days.

  Really enjoyed the CONvention....why?

  by punkofnice in

  2. experiences

  i remember when i was a mind cleansed(tm) jw i would listen to the talks when i wasn't napping.. on the long tiring drive home i'd say how i ''enjoyed(tm)'' the sessions and felt ''encouraged(tm)''.. .....and yet i couldn't recall a single ''point(tm)'' made.

  i couldn't remember what it was that actually made me feel good.. on one occasion i asked the family what they found ''encouraging(tm)'' or interesting.. tumble weed.

  no examples.

  the last big ass-embly i ever got dragged to was wembly--london--UK--about 1970 (?). it rained the whole time.

  the only thing i remember was uberfuhrer Ron Drage walking slowly through the chaos in the underground passageways bellowing into a loud-hailer at the crushed mob trying to move. a total nightmare.

  I had to control my laughter...

  by ILoveTTATT in

  2. friends

  today at the meeting, during the prayer (to which i did not say "amen" to) the brother said "thank you for everything the faithful and discreet slave do for us.

  we know it is because they love us...".

  to which i had to really control my laughter cause i was about to burst out laughing... i just smiled, thankfully everyone else had their eyes closed and head down.... .

  if you find it difficult--or--indeed--impossible--to listen to prayers---think what its like to have to be the poor bugger who has to trot it out. i hated it.

  How to stay married to a born-in JW?

  by Frazzled UBM in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  it is hard to work out where to begin.

  i have been reading excerpts from this websikte for a long time and it along with a lot of the other sites have been incredibly helpful in helping me to understand what i have got myself into but i alos have no intention of getting out.

  i love my wife dearly but in the 9 years i ahve known her and the 2.5 years we ahve been married i have gone through the full gammit of emotions, trials and trbulations and tactics to try to get her to understand that the society is not what it claims to be but to no avail.

  this is all so sexist. in these days of equal opportunity--why shouldnt the brothers have breast augmentation too? i'm sure there are many men in the organisation that would look so much better with bigger tits.
