  Oh Perry, that is so awful for you. We've just experienced this from non-jw family. Not as close as your mum. But it's cruel to those who experience this, and it's too late to do anything. I really feel for you man.

  666 Jehovah Witnesses in Iceland

  by disillusioned 2 in

  2. humour

  just came across this news article and thought you all might like to see it.

  quite funny.. figures on registration in icelands religious institutions have yielded some interesting results.. visir recently compiled data that they requested from the national registry on the numbers of people registered with different religious institutions in iceland.

  unsurprisingly, the largest number of registrants belonged to the national church; some 240,395 icelanders out of the total population of 331,244 belong to the church, either by voluntary registration or from being autoregistered at birth.. where other religious institutions are concerned, one of the more interesting data points is that there are exactly 666 registered members of the jehovahs witnesses in iceland..

  been reading for about 2 and a half years, thought i would take the plunge and sign up.. my circumstances... i live in uk, serving as ms. i am fully awake.

  i can not leave due to family, so just treating the meetings as a bit of a social club.

  i would like to give out more details, but i think you all know the drill.. complete disillusionment and i suppose natural curiosity woke me up.. don't know what else to say right now, just hello, and i hope to get to know some of you guys better.

  The Witnesses Are Really Trying Hard To Get Me Back In

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  at my mom's bed side all i see is either jw family or friends making a concerted effort to have me return to their fold.

  evidentlyy, my mom has encouraged this and i'm a trapped prisoner, as they do their best to have me come back.

  it's bad enough that i have to endure my mom's dying, now i have to be bombarded with this bs..

  Good idea using delaying tactics. Then when it's all over ( sorry). RUN FOR THE HILLS.

  November 2015 Awake

  by username in

  ok. when i first looked at the cover of this issue of awake i was instantly struck on how creepy it looked.

  my first impressions were the picture looked almost masonic in nature.

  well, further investigation has led me to another picture that shows a grand masonic hall.

  What am I meant to be looking at? First picture circular object looks like a clock. Zooming in confirms it. Circular object is masonic symbolism in picture 2.

  I've just had a text from an elder's wife. Telling me "all have been instructed to attend sunday meeting because there's going to be an extremely important announcement that could mean my life". Ooooh err missus. She's a lovely lady, but totally uberdub.

  i just wanted to say that my dear 89 year old mom is terminally ill and will soon pass.

  she is on morphine and hanging on.

  she has been a devout witness for about 60 years and a wonderful mother.

  So sick of the abuse...

  2. experiences

  i am still serving as an elder but just hanging in there.

  i think their quandry is that they don't see me out in the field, but when they need encouragement and decent prayer they come to me.. i just got off the phone to this poor sister who i have only met twice.

  she is not even in my congregation (her sister is).
