  End of the World in May makes a JW laugh...

  by undercover in

  2. friends

  a jw (who i have discussed the generation of 1914 with in previous discussions) asks me, "did you see in the news this group of people that say the end is coming in may?

  me: "yea, i saw that.." before i can go on, they respond, "i can't believe people fall for such nonsense".

  me: "what's the difference in saying 'the end is coming in may' as opposed to saying, 'the end is coming before the generation of 1914 dies off'?

  It's been years since I've been to an assembly, so is it just me or has the tone changed considerably? I don't remember talks this...extreme. I read that and thought, "What a f*kin cult! Omg!" And I feel scared now for the ones still in. Were assemblies and conventions always like that, I just didn't notice before?

  question:.

  why do i see so frequently the witnesses referred to as "window washers" on here?

  i have been a witness (though only recently "conscious") for my whole life.

  do single jw live ascetic?

  by varian in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it s often not imaginable for me, to think that single jws live a life of abstinence.

  i mean at the end of the day we are all humans with desires and wishes.

  most singles are not trained to be like monks from tibet or stuff.. so what s the secret behind it?

  I suspect that many of the Governing Body and their cronies in the upper echelons at Bethel suffer silently from cryptorchidism and have convinced themselves that this is normalcy.

  I had to google that one. LMAO! That would explain a lot.

  Choices have Consequences

  by AggieNostic in

  my wife and kids are inactive/trying to fade - see my previous posts for our story - last meeting for me was over 5 years ago.. in laws and parents active - fil and dad are elders, fil and mil are pioneers, mom just follows dad's lead.. anyway, my wonderful son is finishing up college and is engaged to be married later in 2011 to a beautiful young woman who we all love dearly and have welcomed to our family.

  ceremony to be held in a public space - no denominational identity.

  when engagement announced, my wife and i's parents reacted positively and assured their attendance.. however, phone calls a few days after the elders school over xmas advised us that they would not be attending since our son - although inactive - is baptized and his fiancee is not a jw.

  Aggie, do you know it took me 6 years of being df'd to realize that? And I didn't even think of it, someone said it to me. That was only back in April. But no, they won't ever get it. They believe they're right, they're doing what God requires. How do you get around that? I have no idea yet.

  I can't shun my family though. They have to do it, I don't. No one can tell me who to love or how to show that love, I'm in control of that. And if showing that to them makes them uncomfortable or guilty, so be it. Maybe one day they'll realize what they're doing. That's my hope.

  Important letter to be read after jan 16 watchtower study

  by mikes in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  during the announcements at our service meeting last night, they "encouraged" everyone to attend the jan 16 watchtower study as they would be reading a "very important letter" afterwards.

  i havent seen anything pertaining to that on the site here.

  does anyone have any more information about this, or is this maybe just a local thing?.

  Some observations from the KM Elder School I wanted to share with you.

  by miseryloveselders in

  2. friends

  my school was a couple weeks back, and it was interesting to a degree.

  to be honest with you, it reminded me of a police crime scene investigation with yellow tape.

  what i mean is, in one respect it was business as usual.

  Thanks for sharing, mle. Can't wait to here more but get better first!

  Reading stuff like this gives me hope but scares me too. If the grip is tightening, either my family still in will wake up or they'll follow to their own demise.

  The ones at the top really are hypocritical bastards.
