i was just wondering if there are any documented cases of a sucessful wrongful death lawsuit against the wt.

A witness charity benefit?
by NoRegrets in
1. jw
2. experiences
anyone here ever try to host a small benefit-type gathering for a witness in need?

my wife's aunt and uncle fell on hard times and someone decided to have a gathering where everyone brought a little food and then could give them a little money if wanted.

it was all pretty informal and unofficial but for some reason their son contacted the co to make sure it was okay to do something a little unconventional.

I just "witnessed" officially for the first time!!!
by NoRegrets in
1. jw
2. experiences
i mean door to door (sort of), not informally to non-witness friends and family!.

so for a few weeks, i have suspected that my neighbor across the hall was being studied with by witnesses.

i wasn't sure but saw a couple of older women leaving with what looked like bibles, but never saw watchtower literature.

How many ex-JW's are musicians on here?
by NoRegrets in
1. social
2. entertainment
just wondering how many of us on here are musicians, what we play, and if we had witness bands and/or performed.

i have had quite a few funny moments of being in bands that wanted to be cool, but always had to nerf the edginess of any songs we played and watch the noise!

i played with different elders who loved to rock out, but when they played at a congregation party didn't even want to use overdrive of any kind!

anyone else have dreams about their jw relatives they've had to leave behind.

What percentage of assmbly experiences are total fabrication?
by NoRegrets in
1. jw
2. experiences
when i was in 4th grade, i ended up in a situation involving minor school politics.

they had developed a "student council" which did little more than sell pencils at lunch time for fundraisers.

anyway, i was appointed by the teacher and didn't think much of it as an 8-9 year old.
