  Assembly/Convention Rules

  by IMHO in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just been reading the resurrected topic "remember when assemblies were fun".. bought back some good memories particularly regarding the 'holiday camps'.. i was going to add this but decided it warranted it's own topic.. the 'good times' have been replaced by incessant rules.

  here is a selection from the last circuit assembly i attended.

  please feel free to add to the list.. .

  did you feel guilty ,when ignoring disfellowshipped ones ?

  by looloo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was having an affair with a pioneer at the time and a girl who was disfellowshipped was in the loo at the hall (she actually had not done aything scriptually wrong (but the elders thought she had ) i tried to smile at her as i felt i was not in a position to judge anyone as guilt was destroying me but she just looked down at the floor , 14 years later we are good friends and both "free".

  when you were "in" and ignored disfellowshipped did you ever think "im not in a position to judge anyone " ?.

  Were you a JW that "bend" the rules?

  by Mr. Monday Night in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i knew a few jws (including some of my family members) who would go clubbing, concerts, play sports ,watch rated r movies and go to party's with "worldy" people.

  at the same time, managed to live life in the "truth" (such as field service, give talks, hold the mic during the wt study, etc.).

  were you one or knew a jw who was like that.

  Learning the "Truth" Is not true is like...................

  by foolsparadise in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after 33 years of being mind controlled at 5 meetings a week, field service meetings, special day assembly, curcuit assembly,district assembly, finding out "the truth" is just a big hoax is like getting punched in the stomach-uppercut in the jaw-being kicked in the balls from behind and then having the rug ripped out from under you and smashing your head on the ground.

  what was it like for everyone else?.

  Why Don't Witness Parents Get Angry?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there are a great many puzzlements in regard to the meek and servile compliance of witnesses but one area has long interested me.

  specifically, why don't more witness parents get angry at the do-nothing watchtower society?

  i can recall one somewhat deranged elder's wife who got away with demanding to speak to the assembled body of elders because she was worried that 'all of of our kids are falling out of the truth'.

  For the Sisters: Were you ever happy you couldn't have male "privileges"?

  by Open mind in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  watchtower policies clearly make women second-class citizens.

  i don't see it changing anytime soon.

  this thread is not about how ridiculous it is that a female is not allowed to hand out mags, territory, books or carry a microphone if a qualified male is present.

  Calling all Kilted Brethren

  by bigwilly in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok, so "the kilted brethren" is a term coolhandluke, breck (lowkey lowsmith) and i came up with on another board, but all fans of unbifurcated garments qualify for membership .

  so whether you wear a utilikilt, a tartan or any other style, help me celebrate freedom and post ya pics!.

  this is me last summer at a brewfest.
