Why haven't you been to the meetings?
by Zana insome cong-member asked my wife this question (in the street, stopping her on her bicycle) in a rather police-like fashion.
i wasn't there so i don't know her immediate reaction and response, but she got very upset afterwards and one day later this still occupies her mind.
i believe it's an emotional mix of anger, sadness, shame and guilt.. she doesn't like this intrusion in her privacy from some jws and on the next occasion she will try to make this person respect her boundaries (or just ignore her).

Welcome! I too am especially interested and heartened by any ex-elders who comment here. Some of the experiences related here would be hard to believe if not for ones such as yourself who have been on the front lines and behind the scenes, so to speak, to confirm those experiences. There are so many things the rank & file are just not aware of, like the money grab, that are causing sincere ones like you to awaken. -

I find it interesting that when you cite one of the JW rules that you know for a fact to be true as to what they officially practice (but is embarrassing to admit to a "normal worldly" person), they deny it. "Oh no, that's not true." Yeah, right.
And as a side note minimus, she is flirting with you. It's giving her a post menopausal rush!😍

Tell her a good JW isn't supposed to participate in competitive activities. And tell her too bad she is a JW because if she is so smart, she could have gone to college and wouldn't have to still be cleaning other peoples messes at 59 years old! -

Just read he has been cremated and a private service was held at his estate. That was quick. Tastefully done though avoiding the circus atmosphere around so many celebrity deaths. -

Celebrities , Adulation , Lifestyle , is this for Jehovah`s Witnesses ? Isn`t it a form of Idolatory ?
by smiddy inof course this thread is inspired by princes sad death , yet i wonder how the average j.w.
nowadays.. from what i have gleaned from the many threads about his death their seems to be a reverence about him even on pro-j.w.
sites.. i have been out for about 25 years , yet in my time in the "truth" anything that put you on a pedestal was a no , no.. competition in any form was discouraged , sports especially.

I thought the same thing when I saw this picture! But you know, the queen really does look good for 90, if only she would get a decent hair stylist. Anyway, haven't had an interest in the royals since Diana. Harry is the only good looking one now. -

"It's the demons..."
by pale.emperor inone thing that really frustrates me inside is how quite a few jw's (especially my family) actually believe that demons like to inhabit second hand vases, or clothes etc.
my sister and mother are so bad with this that they wont even talk about it - because even talking about it "brings demons into your home".
so any attempt to show them that it's unscriptural is shut off with, sometimes them literally going "lalalalalalala im not listening".. i used to believe it myself (why wouldn't i?, i was told by my mother and father it was fact).. what i'd like to point out to anyone that would let me debunk it is this:.

Sowhatnow You have a witch in your family? So do I, she's called a mother in law! But really, I agree that it was around a lot in the 60's, you weren't even supposed to think about such things because it would invite the demons in. Funny how Witnesses feel this way when so many are dependent on Goodwill for their wardrobes. -

Sounds horrible. Yeah, I was going to say Starbucks, donut shops, and fast food places, what with no more service groups needing to take their "breaks". -

We in the US are hoping the mother ship returns to take back Trump before November. 🚀
My dad who was a very serious and level headed person swore he saw one from our back porch. This was in the early 60's when the space program was taking off, so who knows, could have been some test aircraft we weren't familiar with.
