I used to belong to the Horndean congregation in Portsmouth Hampshire and we shared the hall with the Waterlooville congregation.
Horndean then built it's own large KH on an industrial estate in Horndean and Waterloovile's got a refurb. I heard recently Waterloovilel KH is now a children's nursery but I have no idea if they moved or were merged into Horndean.
I would love to know what happened there. :)
or is that old light??.
many young men avoided the draft due to their being “ministers”.
if everyone who is a jw is a minister, women and kids should share ministerial status and even be able to legally officiate and marry someone....as long as they are baptized..
backstory:.
so my born-in cousin who recently left the org is looking to start an ex-jw / group instagram based in socal.
he asked me if i had any ideas for a photo that can used for the instagram page and this is what i made for him:.
i personally have a very distinct sense of style and fashion which many of the fellow jdubs frown upon.
recently, i was told by a few specially self righteous ones that i looked like a prostitute in a pair of white boots!
a pair of 3 inch heeled, just a little taller than the ankle boots, with skirt that came down to my knees and a black long sleeve shirt that came up to my collarbone.
I got counselled by a 19 year old MS for dressing my girls one aged 7 the other aged 11 in denim skirts. Apparently the denim fabric is disrespectful to Jehovah even when it is embroidered with little pink flowers.
a few years back i was in a meeting between fades and it was the co visit.
he said something i thought was crazy and a lot of jws buy into this mentality.
i don't remember the talk but he asked this question.. what if this isn't the truth?
That's the sad truth about it all.
A wasted life and countless missed opportunities. :(
............according to your "faithful slave masters" -.
w10 1/15 p. 5 par 12 & footnote - "jesus’ “other sheep” will not become sons of god until the end of the thousand years.
however, (crap alert!
I don't believe any of it any more. JWs, heaven or paradise or even in God and "sin" doesn't even actually exist it is just a made up concept used to control people.

I was told the Bible was written only for the annointed and until 1935 everyone was. It was only after the 144,000 was complete the rest of us existed and therefore the Bible doesn't mean the non anointed when it refers to 'all'.
it was shocking.. all these years later, i found myself crying for the dead for the first time..
Here in UK faces that hadn't been seen for a while turned up the following Sunday.
Hushed talk that his was the beginning of the big A was rife but a month later numbers were back to normal and speculation suppressed.
i had two episodes of visiting exjw websites:one time around 2007 when i just googled "jehovah´s witnesses" and dared to look at those sites.
i was scared and i promised myself i would never come back to them.
however, that one didn´t really count.the moment that woke me up was this:i got to know that whitney heichel was a jw and murdered by another jw, because i overheard that conversation in a kingdom hall.i looked up the news and in one of the news comments, there was one where an exjw was complaining that they were hijacking her funeral and they were really trying to downplay the fact that her murderer was a jw... and then it said "visit jwfacts.com"... which i did.and the rest... is history.what exactly got you onto an apostate website when you woke up?
I think it was the Watchtower Lies website I first stumbled across back in 2008. The plagiarized front covers and pictures that were clearly stolen and originally from other's work showed me Watchtower might not be as squeaky clean as they claimed.
I was then shocked by the Jimmy Swaggert story as I remembered literature becoming donations only and finding out the real reason that changed disappointed me. Why they had to spin it into something it wasn't I have no idea.
607 was next and I also came here but it all seemed too brutal and I found a much more gentle UK site which you had to pay to join. I met quite a lot of the members from that site and we met at Xmas several years running which was nice but it was overtaken by spammers and then a born again christian type called Stephen who was a nasty piece of work and would make it unpleasant to visit. The site was eventually closed down. It wasn't a place to necessarily find facts about JWdom it was more of a social site to make friends and get support.
Now the only websites I visit are this one for company and jwfacts if I want to know something specific.
just a fun idea inspired by seth andrews latest podcast (the thinking atheist).
ask a believer if they agree with the following statements of faith:.
one should strive to act with compassion and empathy towards all creatures in accordance with reason.. the struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.. one’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.. the freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend.
I asked a couple with a cart about why if everything was so good even before humans God let an asteroid kill off the dinosaurs. They knew nothing about an asteroid and one claimed they all died at the flood and the other claimed God "phased them out"!
