  Why wasn't there anyone as nice as you guys in my KH?

  by Little Imp in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i first started attending the kh i was newly married and had moved to a new area over an hour away from my nearest family and friends.

  i was excited about going (believing it would be similar to churches i had attended in the past) and thought it would be a good way to make new friends.. how wrong was i, no-one seemed to have any personality or sense of humour.. i tried inviting people round for a meal, boy that was an uphill struggle and i lived to regret it.. now, though i haven't met any of you, i feel as i though i know you and would feel totally comfortable in your company and would have got on like a house on fire if we had had a meal together.

  the strange thing is all of you have or still do attend a kh and are sooooooooooo different.. discuss.

  Length of Meetings - what do they total per week now?

  by Little Imp in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  the meetings used to be three times a week and totalled five hours.. the public talk on a sunday was reduced from one hour to three quarters of an hour whilst we were still attending and then following our fade we were aware that the tuesday night group book study was stopped.. does this now mean the meetings total three and three quarter hours?.

  my husband was asking me this morning and i wasn't sure so wondered if anyone can help me out here.. thanks.. li.

  Do more born ins leave the Org rather than those who converted?

  by Little Imp in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my husband was brought up in the faith since around the age of three years old.. he stopped believing their crap when he was a teenager and indeed didn't attend for many years.

  however, even though he moved over 100 miles away from his parents his mother visited him and got the local congregation to put pressure on him.

  she also telephoned and wrote to him regularly to make sure he attended.. his parents in the past have been treated very badly by the jws (long story) but they are still in the thick of it despite being in their eighties.. my husband thinks that because his mother converted she could never admit that she is wrong and for this reason will not stop attending.. just wondered what others thought on the subject?.

  Does a JW know how to preach with out slandering other religions?

  by Little Imp in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the first things i noticed when attending a kh is how the person on the platform always resorted to slandering other religions during his talk.

  it reminds me so much of a party political broadcast just before an election.

  as soon as the candidate starts slandering the opposing party i just switch off.. i am not interested in what everyone else is doing wrong i want to know what they are going to that's right.

  Donations to The Watchtower

  by Little Imp in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the uk we are encouraged to make our donations by bank direct debit.

  i just wondered if anyone knows if a direct debit is stopped whether the local kh the doner attended gets informed?.

  my husband stopped his donation some time before we completely ceased attending meetings and he has always wondered whether the elders knew.

  Cleaning the KH toilets - short amusing story

  by Little Imp in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just thought i would post something on a lighter note.. it was our group's turn to clean the kh following the sunday meeting.

  an elder asked my husband to "look at the toilets", hubby went into the toilets came straight back out, said to the elder "they're still there, bye".

  he then grabbed my hand and rushed me out the kh.. i think the elder was too gobsmacked to speak.. hubby said that they want obedience and to follow instructions accurately and he maintains that is exactly what he did!!.

  Kingdom Melodies

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i first started attending the kh i remember being shocked by some of the lyrics to the songs.

  i remember there was one we sang said something like "no-one likes us, we don't care" - someone said it was like a millwall supporters song!

  however, cannot remember which song it was, does anyone remember this one?.
