  What Things Used To Bother Your Conscience???

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we were always being told that we must be careful not to "stumble" others.

  we were instructed to think about the consciences of others.

  was there anything that used to bother your conscience that now doesn't?

  Memorable Field Service Moments

  by Loris in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  for the most part field service is a dull event-less drudgery.

  but there are those rare times that something happens that makes it almost worth the effort.. while living in the state of washington i was privileged to meet a rare sister.

  she was funny and a bit off the wall.

  2. entertainment

  have any of you on this forum, ever met up with anyone considered famous?

  i've met a great deal of people over the years.

  one of my most memorable: dennis leary, drinking a few pints with him as he sang "margaritaville" from the jukebox.

  Why would JW's take money from someone they shun?

  by unbeliever in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this happened a long time ago but i have a friend (da'd) who is shunned by his family.

  his sister asked if he could give her money every month so she could continue to pioneer.

  he is very well off and could afford to give her the money.

  Class Distinction Within The JW Community?

  by Latin assassin from Manhattan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has anyone noticed that jws who appear to be higher up on the 'socio-economic' ladder get special treatment at the kh?

  no matter how many khs i've visited, i've noticed that jws who are not well off socially/financially/physically are treated with less respect/dignity than those with a business of their own, or just a higher quality of life.

  i've been to many 'gatherings' where jws filter themselves out according to race or socio-economic standing.

  Alone in a house full of people

  by LovesDubs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those of you still married to a jw...have you ever felt like you were living alone even tho there is a person on the other side of the bed?

  i sure do...he has this whole "secret life" and all his jw friends and jw relatives and wont have anything to do with my friends or my relatives, even tho most of them never were jws....so we dont do anything together as a couple.

  i mean zip.
