I got a few... I hated them as it was always something that I did that was negative to them...

I went wild with them as I was suffering alot from depression in Dub land and got in many high bills, I had at one time over a dozen credit cards, now I pay cash for almost everything I only have one card which I lowered my limit just in case of emergency or when I have to buy something on the net, thats it, I learned the hard way.

Awake only published once a month but still pitifully poor!
by eyeslice inlooking through the latest copy of the awake that i got from my wife who has just got back from the meeting.
what strikes me is that although the awake is now only published monthly it is still the same old tired format.
'watching the world' still has the same pathetic cartoons, and the style and tone of the articles are just the same.

Reading the grocery flyers are more exciting than reading Awake.

Before you became a JW's did you hear "all" of the horror stories about JW
by booker-t inmy mom became a jw's when i was around 4 in 1969 so i don't really know what it is like to not be a jw's and become one.
at 4 i was dragged to all of the meetings and that was the way of life for me and my siblings.
but for jw's that were of an adult age did "opposers" tell you all of the "horror stories" about jw's before you became a jw?

Most adult new Witnesses I know became Witnesses in order to peruse a romantic interest. Joining the Witnesses is more of a compromise than a commitment for many. No Witness joins because of the history and doctrines, they join in spite of them.
That was the case with me I like the woman simply too much..... and it ruined my life...

How did the WT art affect you? Did you find subliminal WT art as a JW?
by freetosee ini was always impressed by the art in wt literature, especially by pictures of the throne of god, heaven and angels, the visions of daniel and revelation.
these added in deepening my acceptance and understanding of wt teaching.
the earthly hope was very appealing to me, yet i whished to be able to go to heaven for a short time just to see the spirit realm and then return to live in earthly paradise.

How about the picture of the JW family off to field service, with a child glancing enviously behind at the "vacationing" family scooting off in the SUV? That image was last year, still engraved on my memory.
I agree with that image too, except now I did buy the SUV and my family follows me even the dub wife on most occasions...

A NEW Flock book has been released, with notes by a Presiding Overseer
by Elsewhere infor several years there has been available a pay attention to yourselves and to the flock book in pdf and html format.
this book has proven to be extremely valuable in exposing the morally questionable activities of the watchtower society.
now we have a new version that is even more valuable because it contains the hand-written notes of a presiding overseer, some notes as recent as late 2005. these notes are frequently dictated to elders by a circuit overseer or district overseer in order to avoid liability (the wts can deny every giving such instructions).

Will JW's elders Disfellowship or Disassociate or Reprove a JW for flag-sal
by booker-t ini attend a group activity every week and there is a young jw's woman that attends there with me and everytime we stand up to salute the flag she refuses to stand or say the pledge of allegence.
she told me that if she did the elders would df'd her for idolatry.
i have never heard of jw's getting kicked out for saluting the flag.

It reminds me of a time I caught an elder's son smoking (He was 13 or 14), noting happend to him as his dad was an elder but also a pioneer, I was told that it was a closed case because I had no other witness with me.
