How Affected By Jehovah’s Witness News Are You At This Point In Your Life?

by minimus in

i’ve been out for many many years.

i still like to know the latest jw news although i find myself not as excited by things..

Theonlyoneleft

I am as my family still follows this mambo jambo.

after a visit and spending time with them I realised that they are quite happy living this way.

I joined this site to hear others stories, to tell mine and to learn a little about things that I never came to understand. It’s part of my past, unfortunately still part of my present.

But it’s slowly becoming irrelevant as I understand that my JWs family are TOTALLY devoted and leaving would leave them adrift in the world, worse off that they are now.

Very happy young drum player

by Sour Grapes in

when i saw this young boy play the drums i was really impressed by his talent and the joy that he has.

for some strange reason, i thought of how his life would change if his parents studied with the jdubs and became witnesses.

i could see how the boy's life would change.

Oh yes... forgot to say, my nephew plays the guitar, but as he is a young baptised 22 year old he plays strictly healthy songs.

He’s free to play as long he plays these type of songs, it seems to be something he loves as he takes his guitar everywhere playing at gatherings as well as social circles.... JWs off course.

His family enjoys it as well as his friends. He’s really great at it but would never follow that as a career.

That’s some gear!! Ever so cute.

I hope this little guy goes far, he seems to be a little gem.

SG I agree with you, I also hated to have to go meetings and door to door and be singled out in school. It really sucked.

I’m glad I left .

by minimus in

jw
friends

to me, breakfast can be served at any time of the day.

a local bar in my area serves breakfast all day long.

for 5 bucks you get 2 eggs any way you like, bacon sausage or ham with home fries and toast!!

Theonlyoneleft

I like yours but for me has to be..... (drum roll)

English breakfast! Yum yum 😋

not always possible as soooooo not healthy!... but excellent as a treat from time to time. Love it. And ☕️ lots of it!

I saw my mother today for the first time in three years

by pale.emperor in

i saw my mother today for the first time in three years..

she was on one of the witnessing carts in town at a station i don’t usually get off at.

i did today as i was dropping my daughter off somewhere.

Oh PE this is so sad and very painful for you. I’m so sorry that this stupid religion has stole your mum from you and a grandma from your daughter.

My mom had many faults but was still mine. She’s died a long time ago and I miss her every day. Thing goodness she was not a Jw.

My children don’t have a nan anymore and some were born after she passed so never met her.

Having one around and not being able to reach her because of some silly 8 old man rules it’s just unbelievable stupid.

Sending you good wishes.

Is this really what happens?

by Theonlyoneleft in

hello guys,.

long time no see.

the other day i went out with my sister.

Theonlyoneleft

Thank you for your comments. It’s so weird that people are not accepted by who they are but what they are. So a piece of meat until I can bring you in to my side... once there you are now a person.

Irritating as hell.

Carla.... I wonder what they would do if I would return next time with a cross and tell them that attended church.

Maybe I would be asked to leave , who knows?

long time no see. The other day I went out with my sister. We met a jw man that knew her, my sister said this is my sister and niece, they are visiting us for a bit. The man said hello and turned to my sister and asked “are they witnesses too?”

I didn’t take notice but later I started thinking... that’s the first thing you ask? Really really??!??!??

Not... how are you? You enjoying your time? Nice to meet you... I’m ... blah blah?

Do I have to be branded a witness so you can see if you are on home turf?

I took offence.. a little... but I want to know if this is something that is normal to happens or if I’m being a natural moaner.

Thanks in advance 🙂

Do You Have ALEXA?

by minimus in

jw
friends

what’s your opinion of having alexa ?

is it something you would get if you don’t already have it?

?.

Theonlyoneleft

I don’t but my neighbours do.

I often hear them say Alexa play blah blah... from the garden while I’m inside.

Its funny because I’m almost tempted to say Alexa... stop playing 😉... or something worse 😬😬

I wouldn’t get it but I see the appeal

I’ve seen a documentary that said that the older generation are getting these things set up to combat loneliness. So sad. But I presume that works like a friend if you’re stuck at home and can’t go anywhere for a bit.

Boy crowned prom queen by schoolmates

by pale.emperor in

now i think i may have seen everything.. "boy crowned prom queen by schoolmates".

i'm all for people being entitled to wear what they want and live as they please as long as they're not harming anyone but - a male prom queen?

maybe there wasn't much competition in his school?.

Theonlyoneleft

I say live and let live. We are all different inside and out.

How boring would the world be if we were all the same? ☺️
