  Northenden Assembley Hall Of JWs (Manchester, UK) - A Little History

  by pale.emperor in

  this is the circuit assembly hall i attended since childhood.

  if you're a jw and you grew up in liverpool, lancashire or manchester then this is the hall you attended.

  when i was little i remember the decor inside being red and cream coloured.

  Calling Cofty and others regarding evolution

  by dubstepped in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i have started down the path of trying to understand evolution, and to get the linear lies that the jws planted in my head out of it.

  i bought an audiobook called "evolution: what the fossils say and why it matters" by donald prothero.

  i heard it recommended on an atheist podcast that i listened to.

  Old Navy,

  To put knowledge and data in the waste basket before even understanding the theory enough to be able to communicate it to another person, is risky. You may just throw out truth and with no reason why.

  Evolution is a theory that explains eloquently how species adapt over time, abiogenesis is the theory relating to the formation of life on planet earth.

  Dismiss knowlege at your own risk. Certainly never dismiss knowlege you neither understand or have given no time to. Certainly don’t openly express your opinions on a theory you haven’t even studied, that’s intellectually criminal.

  Anyone struggle to find meaning in life?

  by Good JW in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just wondering if this is a common thing for you guys and girls?

  when i left the jws it was hard to make a connection with people, much of the time i felt that whatever they wanted to talk about just didn't seem relevant/deep/meaningful.

  i find myself filtering my mind to get to a level with others (small talk mostly).

  "Reaching out" in the org and personal confessions...

  by Good JW in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  going to be completely honest here, no feelings spared for me.

  when i was a jw, one of my biggest motivations for "reaching out" was to become a "somebody".

  i loved the idea of being a leader, teaching/training others.

  New Letter: Announcements and Reminders

  by Brian J in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  letter dated 1/1/2018.

  i know they are trying to simplify but it all is such a confusing mess.... forms, dates, calculators, committees, logins, publisher record cards.....jesus would barf.

  to all bodies of elders re: announcements and reminders dear brothers: in an effort to reduce the number of letters sent to all bodies of elders and congregations, most announcements from the branch office will now be conveyed to congregations by means of the announcements and reminders (s-147) form.
