  let's set aside our differences for the moment and appreciate this excellent documentary cedars put together that should prove to be an invaluable tool in helping to expose the child abuse issues in the organization.. i was humbled to be able to help with this project on such an important subject, though my part in it was insignificant..

  was this one of those jw urban legends at every hall?.

  when i was 7 years old and began attending meetings, one of the first things i heard people say was "don't challenge satan!",.

  i thought, 'what would happen if i challenged satan?

  Assemblies - Before and After Waking Up

  happy friday to all!.

  i haven't been to a meeting for maybe 10 years.

  i only know what's happening nowadays from the experiences i read here or the internet in general.. anyway, on to the topic: i started attending meetings at the age of 7. as a kid, the only thing i looked forward to at the assemblies (circuit/district) was walking around veteran's stadium (philadelphia district convention) during intermission, hanging with friends, looking at girls (as i got a little older) and trying to have enough tickets to get pizza!.

  I remember going to Dodgers stadium in the late 80's. I imagine that Shasta went out of business after the Jw stop buying so much soda. I enjoyed the pudding and Danish.

  recently, i was speaking with an older brother who is well into his 80's and is a widower.

  he explained to me that it is tough getting old and that "nothing works right anymore".

  he told me that he was able to get through his 70's with few problems.

  I have had the same conversation with a old C.O. His wife had died he was in bad health no retirement income no kids to visit him no gran kids to play with. He basically told me to start saving for the future and have a family. Broken promises from a organization that milks you to death.

  Having Jehovah as a friend.

  by Darkknight757 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've always found it amazing that people can say with such conviction that jehovah is their friend.. we are talking about a "friend" who perhaps daily "tests" us to see if we are his friends.

  all of us have dealt with some form of hardship such as the death of a loved one, chronic illness or whatever.

  it is in these cases that the brothers will tell a person that perhaps it is a test, or that "jehovah knows you're not ready" or some other lame excuse.. do our real friends "test" us to see if we will be loyal to them?

  He is a great friend, when you talk to him he doesn't talk back.
