  i can't believe it, but i missed my first memorial!!!.

  i wasn't sure what was going to happen, until it was past the time to get ready and leave.

  i left it up to my husband, and he made no effort to get ready and go.

  What will you do to celebrate Oct 2 2014?

  by jwfacts in

  like most people reading this, i was convinced that by 2014 the new system would 'definitely' have been operating for at least a decade.

  now that i know this is not going to be the case i am going to have to think of some way to recognise 100 years of wts let downs and failed predictions.

  there is no point fretting over the past so i think it will be a good time to celebrate.

  does any one know where the jah-jireh webs sites, the sites that deal with the jw retirement homes have gone?.

  i've been interested in them for a while, (with my age and that) but they've disappeared from the web!.

  does anyone know why they might have come of, been taken off, disappeared from the net.. the only reference i can find to them is a list of retirement homes with a religious bent.. thanks all!.

  How do you feel, relieved or sad?

  by jula71 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ive been doing a bunch of reflecting and pondering> im just seeing if anyone else has been feeling this and/or if its common.

  relieved that i have a new found freedom, free to pursue goals and dreams i never could as a dub.

  free from the guilt, always feeling god is watching waiting from me to screw up so he can erase my name from the book of life.

  A story of brotherly love.....

  by Tatiana in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  since i've been here, from around july, 2001, i haven't really shared any personal experiences of why i left the society, except for the story about my sister who committed suicide.

  this is kind of long, so i will tell it in parts.

  if this is god's organization, i will gladly be a devil worshiper.. here goes....... when i was about 27 years old, (around 1984) after my divorce, i'd moved from laurens, south carolina back to andrews, sc, and rented the house beside my grandmother.

  30 and Out?

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  30 that seems to put jw's at a cross-roads?

  i've known so many who have decided to abandon ship at either the age of 30 or either after 30 years of being baptized.

  i fall into the former category.

  my dad asked the co about this one.

  mat 27:52-53. and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, .

  and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
