Is it necessary to prepare for the Watchtower or book study?
by BashfulAshG inall of my years in the truth, i never understood why we had to study before each meeting.
the contents are self-explanatory with the answers to the printed question within the first or the last sentence of the paragraph.
then, commenting never made sense, especially comments and experiences that don't answer the printed question.

10 years and Satan finally struck....
by snare&racket ini left around a decade ago, life has not been easy, but it has been profoundly better than the jw robotics my earlier life chapters resembled.. my current life was going so well, too well...... and finally the nemesis of jahooha came out from his dark hiding place.
no longer in gods tent i was as vulnerable as the chinese job and his unfortunate sheep and children.. satan, bless his socks of cotton, has finally attacked, he broke my leg the dark lordy bastard.. a spiral fracture of the fibula and various fractures the ankle joint.. the worst of all his evil doings was the story i have to tell people, it's 'mechanism of injury'..... i slipped on some grass.
yes the devilish ball rash, got me good.. so now, i sit bored, wishing i had meetings to prepare for, talks to write and i long for the live bombing i would have received as an interesting new kingdom hall event in the decades of waiting on jahooha..... but all i have is some lame ass, american apostates on a forum..... tchhhh.... .

I'm sorry that Satan had his way with you, Snare, but you've got to come up with a better story. If you are going to give Satan credit for your accident don't insult him with "I slipped on the grass." Come up with something exciting.
How about you were skydiving when your parachute failed to open all the way. A tree broke your fall and so you came out of it with only a fractured leg. There, that's better.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!

FTB, "My wife leaves the latest issues on my pillow when she gets back from her meetings."
I can't think of a more effective buzzkill!

Boeing, Bullies don't pick on the strong or the protected. Your wife is relatively safe with you as her shield as long as she doesn't flaunt anything the elders view as "unacceptable". -

We are slowly moving away from that kind of preaching work
by oppostate injohn hoyle--jws go knocking on strangers doors and try to get inside homes to preach.. wt rep--we are slowly moving away from that kind of preaching work, we do more preaching by using literature carts and personal telephone calls.. .
the above quote is from john hoyle's website:http://insidethewatchtower.com/doctrine/phone-calls-to-bethel-jw-org-email-and-contacts/.
it's interesting, isn't it?

Orphan crow makes excellent points.
If I were still "in" I would be THRILLED if dtd were "optional"
The masses will be relieved that it is so much easier to be a JW these days. I hate to say it but I think it is a smart move by the WTBT$.

After 2 years my parents make contact. The end result is that I promise them to cryogenically preserve ONLY their heads
by paulmolark init has been 2 and a half years since my departure from the religion.
i was told by my parents from the start that i would never speak to them until i returned to jehovah dog.
a few months later they told people they hoped i died before the end came, then all of this culminating in them telling my inactive / fading sister that they don't consider me a child anymore and they have given me up to satan.

"Tell her you are sick and she will tell everyone you have a STD. Tell her you are doing well and she will say you are consumed with material things."
Precisely! When I became a reg pious-sneer. there was no praise no complement. She said, "I was a SPECIAL pioneer." I couldn't even pioneer as well or suffer as much as SHE.
And speaking of compliments. Not only did she never GIVE any she would try to torpedo any given to me in her presence. For example, if a person would say to mom, "You have a nice little girl." she would say, "If you saw her at home you wouldn't say that." If someone said, "Your daughter looks like you." She said, "She looks like her father." Etc. etc. my entire life. Exactly the same with MIL.

"Are you actually a third gen witness?"
Yes. My father was born in 1907. His mother (who died before i was born) became a Russellite about 1900.
My mother was born in 1918 to a father who became a Russellite in 1914. In my case a generation was nearly 50 years! LOL
