Haha yeah.. I wish this wasn't true.. but what can you say? It's a cult!
My friend told me he's going because of course.. it's a "privilege."
i heard from a "friend" that a letter was read aloud during the midweek meeting asking people to volunteer to do cleaning work in bethel.
lol.
i really can't think of anything else to say if this is true.. they get more free labor, and they still ask for more more more money!!

No
They're not recruiting Bethelites.
Just asking for a pool of congregation members to gather on a specific day and work for free without any allowance. Not even meals. : )

(Sorry I know the reason but still can't help being frustrated again)
i am jehovah's witness, despite some of the questionable teachings, crimes, and other outlandish behaviors of specific people affiliated with the religion.
i know that my relationship with jehovah is not influenced by any outside factors.
i do not condone any crime.

reading through a lot of the forum posts and wondered what tatt stands for (?).
any more acronyms that are special to this site?
I honestly thought at the very beginning that dub was a shortened form of dumb.
As in too dumb to figure out the man behind the curtain..
Sorry, I know you were all talking about acronyms 🍁
it's been a while since she's posted.
i'm hoping she's ok.. for those who are new here mouthy (grace) is our forum's adopted grandma.
she has been posting here since the beginning.
so, i'll go first.. i dreamt last night that i was still at uni, i said goodbye to one of my lecturers.
then ulrika jonsson (former weather girl, shooting stars captain, and swedish nymphomaniac) gave me a lift home in her car - wtf?!
she kept trying to change the cd whilst trying to drive (reaching on the floor, looking for a cd).
I've been dreaming about tidal waves and flying in the past months.
But today I dreamt that I had another sister who died at birth... and I knew about it after more than 3 decades!
And then another dream (most vivid dreams usually come in pairs to me) was that I finally got married - an arranged one. Not bad.. at least I felt even for a short time how nice it is to have a husband. LOL
i am wondering if my deceased elder father was awake?
once we found out he was dying, i spent every moment i could with him, we were very close.
anyway, i offered to read to him a lot when he was resting.
He was awake. Glad to know he was able to impart his wisdom on you until the last days of his life.
Welcome to the forum. 💚
so, when people post about being shunned by their friends, i've heard several posters say things like, "their friendship is conditional.
real friendships aren't conditional.".
i'm sorry, but that just isn't really true.. if you and i were friends, there are conditions.
