  I hate JW jargon!!! (Alternatives please!)

  by VampireDCLXV in

  2. beliefs

  all of us who have any ties to the jws know that they have their own vernacular, their own slang.

  sure, there are formal titles that we can't really get away from: pioneer, ministerial servant, elder, ______ overseer, governing body, the (watchtower) society, etc.

  but there are plenty of other bits of parlance they use that i can do without.... for example:.

  i was thinking to myself today,people suck humans suck.i know that when i was younger i used to see myself helpng people.but now i could care less.the reason is because in reality things will never get better.i am not saying god is going to help us.i do not believe in god.i feel that no mattr what charity you give to an organization in the end it is all futile and pointless.this life we live is hard and can seem pointless.does anybody else feel that way..

  Do you miss "dressing up" for the meetings?

  by dozy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was thinking about this the other day when doing a bit of tidying up of my wardrobe.

  all the kh suits are now pushed to the back of the wardrobe and i am seriously thinking about a visit to the charity shop to get rid of most of them.. for me one of the (few) enjoyable aspects of being a jw was getting dressed up.

  my secular work very rarely involves putting on a dress suit & tie so i miss getting dressed up - smart suit , tie , shiny shoes , slapping on the aftershave.

  Why no Crisis of Conscience eBook pdf version?

  by truth_about_the_truth in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  there has to be a lot of fading or questioning jw out there that want to read this book but are afraid of getting the hard copy because of fears of getting caught, mailing issues, etc.

  i think if this were available as an ebook, so many more ppl would be able to read it.

  it would make it so much easier for those who want to take a look at this discreetly and take the leap.

  "Freeness of Speech" Between Elders

  by blondie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what does it mean to have "freeness of speech" between elders on the elder body?

  can they ask another elder on the body anything about his personal life and/or questions they would never dare to ask one of the rank and file?

  can't find much about it in the publications.
