As a fader for 8 years no-one has even contacted me to ask why I stopped going to meetings.

I read the article when it first appeared on facebook and then when it stated they went to the same Kingdom Hall I realised they were probably JWs.
Hysterical.

no pictures of Kingdom Hall remodels???
by Lynnie ini'm following an old friend on instagram who's an uber elder and he does lots of work on kh's and has gone to warwick on his own dime to help with the construction.
on his instagram post he says " i can't post pictures of the kh remodel but i can post pics of jack daniels that i had afterwards" or some such.
why aren't they allowed to take pics of remodels?

I did a tour of their printing works and no photos were allowed. Not even a keepsake of a rejected/faulty printed sheet of any future literature either. It all had to go in the bin.

Today's W.T when it mentioned Depression and Anxiety
by Isambard Crater inour co-ordinator put his hand up and commented saying that people who go on about how depressed or anxious they are just need to stop giving in to impulses and show more self control without letting their emotions rule their lives.. if anyone from the media, a government agency or some other public body heard a comment like that, they'd have a hard time exercising self control over the rubbish this elder spouted, which my friends and family with genuine depression found insulting..

In Spain I was hospitalised briefly for depression and an elder at the English congregation told everyone to avoid me cos I had "gone off the rails a bit"! Thankfully I had far more caring and sympathetic non JW Spanish neighbours who looked after me when I got home.

Outside JW World They Barely Exist
by Farmer Jim1 inis anyone else staggered by the fact that outside of the organization most of the general public seem to know very little or nothing about jw’s?
when i was in i was led to believe that 99% of the worlds population had been giving sufficient warning, knew what it was all about and were stubbornly sticking to their immoral ways.
the reality seems to be that the entire jw universe is barely noticeable to the masses.

I wonder if their are any parents of theses children on here now .May 22 1994
by smiddy3 ini know it could be a sensitive subject however we were all once firm believers and could have very well let one of our loved ones die due to what we once believed.. and not to be judgemental on what we would have done or did do in the past ,i sometime wonder if any of the parents or even one parent of the children of the may 22nd 1994 magazine of "youths who put god first " have now regretted their decision to let their children make this decision on their own.. after all these years i find it hard to believe that not one of them have no regrets to what happened to their child.. i can also accept that it would be extremely hard to admit that you allowed your child to make a decision to die on a belief you instilled in them that you no longer now believe in.
i think that would be very hard to live with and come to terms with.. if any of you are here my heart goes out to you because you have gone through hell and my thoughts/vibes are with you..

Waking up after refusing a lifesaving blood transfusion for your child doesn't best thinking about. Possibly better to die in ignorance than discover TATT. :(

Jehovah’s Witnesses and “the Friends”
by minimus ini never understood why many jehovah’s witnesses will say “the friends”.
it seems so mormon like..

The friends was not an expression we used in UK or Spain. I only heard it used when listening to GB member's talks.

There is an ancient rant by a long gone GB member about how God will destroy the wicked using anti matter and might be the same one not sure but where he tells the audience the break up of pangea was because of "the flood"!

It was very eerie. Grey sky above white clouds it was dark at 2pm and looked like 7pm. My daughter and I joked that if we were still JWs we might think it was Armageddon. Instead we were able to look up in awe at the sky and marvel at how amazing it looked with no fear of God just knowing it was a weather phenomenon.
