  Growing-up Witness was Wonderful ...Until My Bubble Broke

  by Green Jade in

  1. social
  2. family

  i was raised by a wonderful and close family.

  i loved my congregation growing up.

  when i would go to the meetings, i felt i could go to school the next day and deal with the pressures of that day.

  I'm back with a new computer and feeling better

  by Lady Lee in

  2. friends

  the last 15 days have been hard.. 10 days without a computer is hell.. i said this on another thread but want to say it again.. thank you so much to those of you who have contributed to getting me a computer and back on line.

  this new baby of mine is awesome.

  it would have taken me months to save up enough money to either fix the old (which i think would have needed to be rebuilt) or buy another.

  Why do I come here

  by Luo bou to in

  2. friends

  i believe i have completely freed myself from any borg influence yet i am drawn to this board.

  like many of you ,i lost my wife and family, but i don't believe i can do anything about that, and if i could, i doubt that it would be a kindness on my part to do so.

  they have so much invested.

  Some christmas spirit, WT style!

  by bohm in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, i know its a bit self-serving since i allready posted this in jwfacts thread http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/bible/199939/1/watchtower-images-required, but i think its quite funny and things have been kind of serious around here for the past couple of weeks.. it seem to me that when jahs chanel have desided (im kidding, they has been told) the one and true god really hate christmas and will kill you in nasty ways if you go ahead and celebrate it, it provide a pretty compelling case for not celebrating christmas.

  but the governing body can make an even stronger case than that: not only will jesus cry and clice you up if you celebrate christmas, you will also have a really bad time.

  wow!.

  Are they really closing down branches in Martinique, Guadeloupe and French Guyana ?

  by aligot ripounsous in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just got this information on the phone, from a local jw family member : the society is definitely downsizing its worldwide institutional network and they intend to disband their bethels in the three french overseas departements of martinique, guadeloupe an french guyana.

  i've not heard about the fourth departement la reunion in the indian ocean but i gather that they might go the same way there.. i wonder , what about the decent amount of money i donated to them in order to build one of those bethels , is it bound to be siphoned off to brooklyn ?

  objection, that was not included in the deal.
