i'm working on a short story/novella about a jw family.
it's called the opal ring.
i will be posting it in installments, and would like some feedback on it.
Awesome read Julia, I am feeling every bit of it and laughing at the old familiar phrasess and characters.
I think we can all relate to every character here.
Ha ha who hasnt met a brother 'Wankis' in their years as a dub lol. unattractive in every way including personality yet pulling the 'babes'. There always were a lack of decent blokes to marry in that cult.
my daughter will be getting married this coming august.
she and her future husband are not jehovah's witnesses.
they will have a non-religious wedding ceremony.
I feel sorry for the cousin too, it must make things awkward for him, especially if theres a mass walkout because of him.
It is a nasty cult!
leaving the university with my degree!.
exams are finished and it's just a matter of days before i walk.. i was certainly stressed about doing this.
i'm older than my classmates and armageddon was sooooo close!
Well done Billy!! Cant wait to get my degree too.
im in a bit of a bind and im not quite sure what (if anything) i can do about it.
i was recently hired as a business consultant for a rather large company.
the company that hired me mentioned that they are concerned about a certain department and the way its being run, as this department affects every other department in the company.
Noontide I had to check to see whether you lived in Australia as the company my Husband works for has exactly the same setup as you described... a very strange JW at the helm who has no balls when making decisions and although reasonably intelligent comes across as an absolute idiot, he just smiles and keeps his mouth shut when there is a problem.
The issue we have with Hubbys boss is that he keeps hiring JW staff who are not meek or humble but are braggers who wont do as theyre told and are often lazy and have a lot of pent up anger at their 'masculinity' and life being taken away by the WTS.
The blokes my Husband works with have reported him higher up for hiring only JWs as its badly affecting morale and ultimately the business.

Maybe a wealthy JW sold it to the WTS really cheaply and they bought it as an investment?

Very well said Magnum, I absolutely agree!
one of them is nose rings/piercings.

Braggers, arrogance, men constantly looking for someone 'better', no sense of humour, no lust for life, lazy, men who cant see past a pretty face or a hot body.
been lurking for years, but couldn't log on.
for some reason, my email spam filter is inaccessable, and ended up having to open another account, simply to become a member... wonder how many others have had a similar problem.. its been an eye opener reading everyones life experiences, often so similar.. i was almost a born in, with a hardcore family.
abusive stepfather who was one of the original jws in the area, so much so, that it was called the xxxxx family religion.... been out for 25 years, am glad every day for that!!.
