  Campaign to invite people to meetings

  by StarTrekAngel in

  just found out last night that our congo is starting a campaign to invite interested people to meetings.

  the instructions for the campaign clear out that "interested" people are not just those whom we visit often or have bible studies with.

  it includes and random stranger we may talk to and who may show a hint of interest on the religion.

  Random Thought: Was Prince in good standing in the Org?

  by HereIgo in

  i find it hard to believe that the flamboyant grooming, earrings and heels would grant him positive status in the congregation.

  it definitely wouldn't fly in my old cong in arizona.

  he would been pulled in the b room rather fast.

  by Iamallcool in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  well, i messaged someone on e-harmony and she messaged me back.

  i did like her at first and she likes me too.

  we exchanged more than 10 messages till i find out yesterday that her best friend is a tarot card reader.

  I really don't see this as a big problem. Hope you can lighten up a bit.

  Inappropriate Behavior

  now i know i am getting older or of the older generation.

  i have had a very strange day with a lot of strange dealings with people with strange behavior today but this one incident was just over the top.

  so i came out of a store in a busy shopping center.

  Though I am not shocked by it, I can't say it's appropriate. Kinda funny maybe.

  "You Can Do Just Enough Ministry To Dislike It"

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when you were "in" did you ever actually enjoy the ministry?

  and i made no secret about it.

  instead i would joke about me feather knocking, and made sure i had my bible in hand so as they come to the door they know what im about so they can shut me down before i even start.. i always wondered how or why there were people who enjoyed it.

  Question about an elder and if I am crazy

  by life is to short in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  ok so i have a question.

  i was a very, very true believer until i saw the child molesters in my hall and how that whole thing was handled.. my husband is older than i am and had been an elder for 12 when we married.

  so fast forward to 06, we are in a hall where i thought all the elders were ok at the worst and great at the best.

  I want you to remember that the only behavior we can control is our own. This drama will continue as long as you participate. If you disengage from these people and they continue to harass you, take out a restraining order. I do not think you're crazy, but I do think you have crazy all around you. Please continue to see your therapist; this does sound PTS related. You should stop attending meetings and plan your exit carefully. You have more power than you realize.

  RIP dad, who introduced me to this fairytail of everlastin life and paradise :(

  by Frezia in

  less than 5 hours ago my great dad fell asleep the last time :( still in a bit of a shock and sad that i will not see him again...i promised myself that once he is here no more, i will somehow make my move out of this organisation who kept us all captive believing in a fantasy of an everlasting life :( i am in a tricky situation, since raised as jw, still in, married to an active jw, and pretty sure that all in my social and family circle will turn their backs on me if i finally say goodbye to a fairytail ;(.

  Oh the irony! The elder, a car accident, and me....

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  oh this is just worth sharing!.

  so , as many know, it has been two years since i have attended any meetings, conventions, etc....nothing...cold turkey.. the hassles and problems the elders threw our way were monumental....so many details i could share, but suffice it to say, we stood firm and kept our dignity and poise and reminded them of "appropriate boundaries ".

  one elder in particular has since spared no effort in ensuring that malicious gossip and slander has been spread so that witnesses have avoided us like the plague!.

  He'll hate you even more now. You have magnified his failures by proving to be the better man. :)
