i was approached by two jehovah’s witness elders who handed me a pamphlet advertising the jw .org website.
each man carried a bible and an apple ipad.
they told me that they enjoyed visiting with people about the bible, and asked if i was a bible reader.
Hi Roger,
In spite of being a life long JW (previous to now) I didnt have a clear understanding of the topic this thread is about. I didnt even know I didnt understand it quite frankly.
I really appreciate your posts for their clear and easily understandable points.
I am glad you are here and looking forward to your future posts!
watching rated r movies?
maybe a little gambling in vegas?
when i was in high school i went to the mall with my friend at the time, who happened to be a female.
freddo that was such a sweet story!

Reading horoscopes (harmless fun but still felt guilty)
Feeling happy when I had an excuse to skip meetings or field service ( I thought I should be appropriately sad BUT I WASNT!)
one of the reasons people remain pimo is fear of losing family.
those that are disfellowshipped and shunned regularly comment about how devastated that they have lost the approval of their parents.. when i respond to emails from people saying how difficult it is being estranged or looked down on by their parents, i would like to say that over time they will come to terms with it, except i not sure that people ever do.
i cannot shake that feeling either.
If we take the original premise and reverse it we see an interesting facet also.
The "org" knows how powerful this family tie is = thus the use of it as a threat to keep people "in".
i have been gone for a while so i am back, but i don't know how often i am hanging around.
i am more interested in apologizing though :).
i have posted several times in the past about the necessity of spreading the word about ttatt in the spanish speaking world.
Sounds like good and positive changes in your life StarTrek.
I am very happy for you and welcome back!
muslims are now outnumbering catholics.
could the gb be all talk, and afraid if they spoke out against them, the last words they would hear at one of their talks would be "aloha snackbar!"?
.
I wonder if it is because Islam "works" for them. It is scary and proves the end is coming quickly?
In days gone by the Catholic church was the competition so its pretty easy to see thats the way early JW leadership viewed them.
the time remaining is... elastic.. .

The Time Remaining Is.....
Time.
No more, no less.
i've been on this board for years.
99% of the posters here i do not personally know.
a few, maybe not so much...lol..... do posters here get you upset to the point that you really don't like them?
I love you!
You will always be my little red dot
there was a female poster once that wore thin on me but havent seen her in ages, so I cant complain!
after much lurking and even sporadic posting under an alias account, i've decided to come out of the "apostate" shadows.
this month marks my 1-year disfellowshipping anniversary.
it's been a long, arduous journey, one that nearly took my life.
This is a great topic to discuss.
The fearless leader of the JWs here locally (COBE) gets disability and is not disabled in the least. His wife worked tirelessly at the paperwork and hoop jumping required for years and finally got herself and her husband a nice check coming each month for them both, along with free health care.
it's been 8 years, but i am back.
my health has returned.
what did i miss?.
Hi and welcome back.
I wasnt here back then but glad to hear your health has returned!
