I would imagine the last thing you would want to do is write to the Society to keep your cover. I would think that they just forward your letter to the local body of elders so the can "help" you and keep you in check.........

Elders under daily pressure

by ozziepost in

jw
friends

one newly appointed elder said: "i never realised how much work and pressure i would be under.".

elders are pressured from the society who use the medium of the co visit as well as letters from the branch office.

this pressure may even be termed pressurising.

just for fun!!!.

excluding your spouse/significant other and children (they would be with you) who would you like to be stranded on a deserted island with?.

i think billy crystal and robin williams would have to top my list, i think they are 2 of the funniest men out there and i would definitely want to laugh.

peace and love to everyone,.

the purpose of this post is not..let me repeat not to start a flame war, so as my mother use to tell me, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

ok so it doesn't have to be nice but please try and keep it civil.

How Can I Make Real Friends-a JW Video

by Pierced Angel in

jw

making friends is not always easy when you're young.

finding friends may be particularly challenging if you are a christian and want friends who live by bible standards.

this video has therefore been produced to help you learn how to make friends-the right kind of friends!.

You want to hear something extreeemly painful........my wife and i had a gathering......as most dubs we wanted a nice mix young and old....an elder who was there suggested we pop in the video..i hadnt seen it so i said."why not"....there were about 4 other gen x/y kids there..after the video what followed was one of the most painful discussions i had ever been involved in .my friend and i were using all our might not to keep from cracking up as the elder tried to "lead a discussion" with the other kids who were still in high school...you could see the pain on their faces as they hoped this torture would soon end........did you see the car that girl was driving in the video too?..........who said we gave all our money to the WTS??

Does anyone else find this hypocritical?

by Shaneliza in

i'm new to this discussion board, so this may have been covered before.

i was raised in a jw family,(although i have been out for over 20 years) my mom and step-father are staunch believers.

being good jw's, they are against all "pagan" holidays, yet my mom took advantage of the boxing day sales, and my step-father accepted his christmas bonuses.

one of the characteristics of a cult is the manipulation of language. by changing the definition of words the cult can justify any action.
JW's like many cultists are very comfortable doing this themselves, after all how can his employees be offended buy a "year end dance". if thay said anything about the words not changing the nature of the dance thay could be seen as a threat to the WT since the WT does the same thing

i am a current dub and couldnt agree with you more......well..i think i could, not agreeing with your use of the word cult...but anyway...

it makes no sense..it is all about looking for loopholes...I can understand a witness who would not attend a office party due to the overt christmas undertones..santa jumping around ..etc....but of change the name of the party or dance does not change the spirit of it...i have taken it upon myself to go to every damn xmas party i can send presents to me!!!!

Meet Silentlambs In Person!

by silentlambs in

i am going to be at a trial in ritzville, washington.

the town is about an hour southwest from spokane, wa.

i will be there on august 14th, which will be on a tuesday.

nytelecom1

I'm so proud. Did you come up with that one all by yourself?

hell no.....i am not smart enough for that....i told my friend nobody is stupid enough to continue and respond to these posts....and nobody is so obsessed with initials that mean nothing to continue to respond to these posts...................but he figured there was someone out there with no life and that would feel important if he/she got initials

think you better get permission from your parents before you post any more messages, little fella.

is this the part where i go i know you are but what am i???? cuz i think i missed my opp on the last post

by silentlambs in

colwell porter motel 509-659-1620. about a block from courthouse, rate $40-$50 per night.. top hat motel 509-659-1100. about block from courthouse, rate $40-$50 per night.. eating:.

circle c restaurant 509-659-0922. about block from courthouse, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.. flowers:.

just a word of advice...........i know this isn't a vacation "per say"...but you may want to consider staying in Spokane..it is only one hour away and may have more comfortable accomidations. Ritzville is a wretched little town off of I-90 with only a Denny's (Perkins?) going for it.................but i dont think there is an approved society hotel list for this one....you will be on your own.
