My parents were 2gen born 1907 and 1918 respectively. They witnessed this way and I have pictures to prove it. However, what good did it do them or their listeners? They wasted their entire lives in a cult and ruined my childhood as well. And in the end the sizable family fortune went to the WTBT$ What a waste!!!

20Have you seen "Knock! Knock!"?
by compound complex ini thought it was a genuinely old silent movie.
it was prepared for the delegates of the international conventions.
a young man in a sound car goes to different homes in the neighborhood, and comes upon a bereaved husband with two young daughters.

Officially parting ways : (
by Batman89 insome of you might remember my first post on here about my dilemma of whether or not to remain in a relationship with my jw girlfriend after learning ttatt http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/experiences/278710/1/im-new-and-need-help#.u-kltpldvyq.
while we were taking a break, well it turned out to be not very much of a break because of our still strong feeling for each other (we eventually went from talking every few weeks to once a week and then to everyday again) and things started to get complicated.
well last night we officially decided that it would be best for the both of us to at least part ways for now and end things.

So sorry for your heartbreak Batman. Something to think about is that even in failed relationships you learn more about yourself. Use what you have learned from this one to build an even better relationship in the future.

Are You Raising An Introvert?
by darth frosty inits not easy being an introvert in an extrovert worldespecially when youre a kid.
it is even more difficult if none of the adults in the kids life recognize that the child is an introvert.
this doesnt happen only when the childs parents are extroverts, but also with introverted parents who have never understood their own introverted nature.. .

Apog, It's just penetrating my brain how an introvert is unlikely to say what the problem is so all the while we extros either think things are ok or are clueless how we contribute to the friction. We ASSume that because we have no trouble expressing our feelings and emotions that others are the same. If they seem distant we ASSume they don't like us, are mad at us, or are stuck up. This is because if we withdraw we ARE hurt, angry, or don't like the person. WOW what an eye-opener this thread is!

I am almost in tears right now. I am ashamed to say I am an extravert who has never had a clue about intraverts until reading this thread. I now realize my firstborn was an intravert trying to cope withan extravert little sister. I had no idea he needed personal space and that it was my responsibility as a parent to see to it that he got it. I didn't interceed until little sis was screaming bloody murder after being pounded by brother. At this point brother would catch hell for hurting her. This went on every day all day long and I chocked it up to jealousy. Fortunately, I had a chance before he died to tell him I was sorry for appearing to favor his sister and that I loved him very much. This also explains why it took me so long to leave the Borg. I always managed to fit in. No wonder, I'm an obedient extravert. No need to read "worldly books on parenting, psychology and personal development. I feel like an ass.

Not on JW.org : Question for Jehovah's Witnesses elders: If pants have Pagan origins, is DENIM demonized ?
by Balaamsass2 ina yound sister was severely counciled by the elders for wearing a denim "jean skirt" to the hall last year.
she left with tears in her eyes and never returned.. for the last 50 years denim jeans have been banned at the brooklyn bethel breakfast table.. i understand denim jeans are banned even by tourists visiting beth ell.
billy explained the pants situation in past posts.. so my questions are: what other instances are there of denim bans by watchtower ?

Also what about denim fractions? Is it ok to have denim trim on your skirt? What about faux denim? Is that getting dangerously close to the "unclean thing"?

Hey Ass, They're in the pockets Duh....... Now if the skirt was simply made out of denim fabric does it then become a conscience issue?

I've seen it too. A 20-somthing son of a former JW friend of mine replaced his FB profile pic with the logo. It makes my heart sink to see the promising smart funny attractive kids of my friends happily drinking the kool-aid and offering it to others.
