  JW Talk Radio- My First Guest Flaked

  by PublishingCult in

  2. friends

  ok, my first guest has flaked on me.

  this is a little disappointing because i was looking forward to a discussion about homosexuality and the bible that people could really sink their teeth into.. .

  other the other hand, i am relieved.

  Most Overblown Examples Used at Assemblies

  by What Now? in

  at a recent assembly, there was a talk highlighting the dangers of higher education.

  the brother used an example of a young girl who went to university, began going to bars, and ended up getting drugged and gang raped - as if this happens to every young jw who chooses to get higher education.. .

  what ridiculous examples have you heard used at meetings or assemblies?.

  Just Riffing - Join In If You Like

  2. humour

  ever get those crazy and funny lines of reasoning going while daydreaming, the ones that seem full of promise but just won't flesh out into something spectacular?

  those ones that would be worthy of a great thread at jwn, if only they were fully cooked?.

  i have those.. sadly, i am so busy most of the time that i never get to follow my little thought experiments.

  Seeking your input

  by Victor_E in

  2. friends

  i'm doing research for an article of writing on why jw's are clinging on to the religion regarless of the pain and dysfunction.

  those of you that remember me know i have written on this subject for many years.

  i have not written an article on this topic for over nine years and i wanted to create a relevant post based on the current dynamics and theology.

  Sex at 14?

  by headisspinning in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello all.... some of you have been following our story from the beginning - and even those of you who haven't should be able to relate to my quandary.... last week my 14 year old son told me he no longer wants to be a jw.

  we laboured over telling his jw dad all week.

  well, on friday night he finally came clean.. but in a bizarre and unexpected twist, after having sex with his girlfriend for the very first time - in his father's home that very afternoon.

  How was your Mother's Day?

  by journey-on in

  mine was terrific.

  loving visits, cards, dinner, and togetherness.

  i know if i had remained a witness, at least one of my children would have left the borg, and we would probably not have the beautiful relationship we now have.

  The GB tightening their grip! Straw to break a camel's back?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i post on a couple of forums and read and lurk and all that stuff.. a theme that seems to be gaining momentum is about how the gb are 'tightening their grip' and 'becoming more cultish'.. i don't read the publications anymore and oddly i read extracts of them on the forums.. punk is babbling now.............sorry...................my questions are (sorry if they're a bit long.

  sorry if i sound like satan: 'is it really so?

  ' but then i am a mentally diseased apostate).. 1. are the gb really tightening their grip or is it just the same as it ever was........but..........we just notice the propaganda more now we're out?.

  What's the most dumbest/petty thing you've heard of someone being "stumbled" over?

  by Reality79 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  - some loser once took offense that i hugged a sister goodbye at a leaving do and ran back to the elders like a little child telling on me.

  i was 15, this sister was in her 40s at the time.. - this elder said someone told him they saw me with a copy of the sun newspaper.

  yes, this paper is known for its 'page 3' topless girls but far from pornagraphic and i wasn't even thinking along those lines.. - one brother who had a good job was 'counselled' because he was actually able to buy himself nice things including a new car (shock, horror!!
