  hi everyone, phats here.

  i haven't posted for about 2 years as things have been so busy with work + a nervous breakdown along the way so been on meds & all sorts but things but are now beginning to get stronger & the mists are clearing.

  business is great with loads of work.

  Maybe your avatar is just too creepy! I will say you have an interesting background, sorry your wife is not on the same page though. Happy your daughter is out too. It can't be easy with so many JW relatives to deal with. Hang in there, at least when we need it, we have great support here on this forum.

  one of my jw spies told me that a us jw speaker was visiting the uk.

  some bigwig, on a tv screen, i believe.

  sorry, that's all i have.. anecdotal i admit, but i was told he said, "you british think you are superior.".

  The British are superior....most think Donald Trump is an idiot, as opposed to the nearly 50% of Americans who support him.😝

  truly, i had wished for more .

  so very much more.. our love, so i believed, was beyond time and death.

  your promise of true love allowed this little man to soldier on despite his every reason to bid the world goodbye.. have i set my sights too high?

  Your words express exactly how I felt 32 years ago when my (ex) husband came home one night and said he didn't want to be married anymore. Of course, he just didn't want to be married to me anymore. I was thrown into such sadness, confusion and despair, as your words describe. Of course, life moves on, thankfully, and I am in a much better place now. No denying though, sometimes love stinks.💔

  This is just so wrong and sick. So now grandma has to wear a head covering if she says their night-night prayers with them! Of course 7 &9 year olds can make life choices, they just can't decide their own bedtimes yet.

  Did others experience this on the ministry or among JWs generally?

  by slimboyfat in

  sometimes it's hard to know if our own experience of jws was typical and what features were peculiar to our own area or the individual jws we knew personally.

  i was wondering if others experienced this among jws:.

  a few times on the ministry, when we were working wealthy areas with large houses, some brothers and sisters would make the comment that they look forward to taking ownership of one of these big houses after armageddon, when the worldly people have vacated them.

  Yes, been out for 32 years and remember often hearing this. Our territory ranged from older city neighbourhoods to a beautiful area with lakefront cottages and large century homes. Guess which ones the JWs were putting dibs on!

  That good old JW rumour mill

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  because i simply decided the watchtower corporation wasn't the truth(tm) i was da'd in a secret jc that i didn't attend.

  i was writing songs with a friend that day instead.. jws wasted no time in labelling me as an evil villain.

  the rumours abounded.. i was labelled as 'a false prophet'.

  Punk, they can't stand it when those who leave are happy, successful and have a whole network of new friends. Here I am, a 65 year old woman in Ohio, USA, and I have been totally enamoured of you and your posts for years! Love you Punk!💖

  Such circular reasoning! We did not see it when we were in the borg, but now that we are out it is so obvious. The Bible is God's word because it says so! Really? Present this to anyone with half a brain for critical thinking and you will be laughed off their doorstep. And the third one, talking to the older man...yep he has never before seen things so bad. Guess he never heard about or slept through 2 world wars, Korea, Vietnam, pre-vaccine days, people dying from now curable diseases, and so on and so on. Geesh!
