  Hi Latte, no not really, more so is it tues, thrus, etc, already. So funny about those smiles, just as I am typing this up two of them ring my bell, they stand there for about two long minutes, long sad faces, they looked hot, bored, tired no happy smiles on their faces. nojw

  The Power of the Human Spirit

  by larc in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have read many accounts of human tragedy on this board.

  i have also read the recovery that people have experienced once they got out from under the oppressive and destructive world that was the watchtower.

  i find it amazing that when people receive a modicum of a healthy environment how they are able to heal, sometimes quickly and sometimes more slowly, but the progress is there.

  Hi Larc, so very true, I am so grateful to have this board to read of others and the their healing process, it has helped in so many different ways, except when we get called terrible names by the jw, when your phyically sick, it brings down your healing process. But as you said Larc and I second, I have a great affection for the congregtion of people on this board. nojw

  These jw need some form of entertainment , life is very dull for the average jw, with all of the no cant do that stuff. If she were a true jw, her life would be so busy with studying, field service, return vists, all the assemblys, all the books to read, plus the cong. should supply more than enough friends to chat with.Visit other cong, and find friends to chat with. But they are dull and unhappy that attacking people is their best form of releasing frustation of unhappiness of being stuck in the org.Let god do the attacking, you just do your witness thang. nojw

  Sat. Dist. Conv.--Cracking the whip!

  2. friends

  i have put in my final day at this year's test of posterior endurance---saturday at the district convention, 2001. i took quite a few notes today, because some had specifically asked about saturday's program.

  i hope all will be suitably edified by them.

  do not just listen to bits and pieces of the program, but to the whole thing.

  My hat goes off to you for sitting (OUCH) through all of that. Do they have a live orchestra with violins tugging at heart strings, when they tell of their experiences, geeesh. So glad we are out. nojw

  Want a strange story. For years my jw mother in law, went to garage sales about i would say 30 years, everything in that is from a garage sale. Then another sister went to the chruchs for cheese , butter and flour, she stood in long long lines for the goodies went into the churchs and waited inside when they ran out. But after 30 years they are still JW . Oh they has to ask the elders if itwas ok to visit me when I got sick. And even then they were afraid to enter our home. Asses

  Re:Did /Do Elders enjoy power/control

  by ladonna in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i think back to being in the wtbts i can vividly remember the elders and their weilding of power.. as an adult, and in hindsight, i can now look back in total distaste and disgust at the power and control these men exercised over our lives with 'apparent' enjoyment.. i would like any former or current elders to explain the actual feelings you had when exercising this control.. was it exhilirating?

  or was it painful?.

  i would also like responses from non elders as to how you actually felt on the other end of this control situation.. la donna ana

  There were many good elders when I attended . But there were of them that enjoyed the power trip issued to them. There was one in partcular that stands out . Whenever he cousiled this brother on his talk. he would make this giant of brother cry, he would drive us home and I would ask how was your part etc, bro G said this, and he would stop the car till he got himself under control again. This elder hurt us also in many ways after we left.
