  just wondering if any here have tried this, and what were your results.

  or, does it offend your religious and/or spiritual senses?.

  Volunteering at a house of evil

  by tergiversator in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i did something new today.

  my college arranged for several different volunteer projects in the area that you could sign up for, from trail clean-up to working at a homeless shelter to visiting elderly people.

  through the vagaries of fate, i ended up on one that visited a small clothing and food pantry operated by the area churches' ecumenical council.. so there i was, sorting packages of donated socks by children's sizes, not ten feet from where there were *religious* pamphlets (one of them mentioned god once, i think) in a small, discreet display, on such false religious topics such as how to deal with the violent death of a loved one.

  What did you do?

  by StiLLinTruth in

  1. jw

  to all those who have in some way left the organization (be it disfellowshipping, disassociating, dis-whatever):.

  come now, i know the amount of people who "realized that wt doctrine was in serious error" and politely handed in their letter of resignation has to be very small.

  the level of bitterness and hostility towards the closest-to-what's-biblical organization has to develop some other way.. what did you do?

  JW evaluations?

  by heff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am new to this site.

  i just want to say that its great, always nice to know that you're not alone in the fight.

  i wish all current jws could be forced to sit and read through all these posts just once.....but thats dreaming, i guess.. it seems that from the psychological aspect the experience can be horrible.

  Meetings

  by OrangeBlossom in

  2. friends

  do you think the wts will ever reduce the number of meetings per week, maybe drop one night a week?

  just curious!

  it seems that everyone is so whipped from working all day, i really think that's why there is such a drop in meeting attendance.
