I like a combination of the second and the fourth...gives them a taste of the pain plus the invitation to ask about it if they want. With the website under. The first is too ambiguous I think.

Quick Poll - How many are...
by mrhhome inhow many here are (a) ex-jw, (b) non-jw with jw relatives or spouses, (c) inactive jw, or (d) active jw who stay in for your own reasons?.

Inactive according to org for 2 yrs...no memorials, nada. I consider myself and tell people I am an ex cult member and warn them of their deceptive ways. There is a woman in the territory where I would work who would get so upset when witnesses came by. I want to go apologize now that I know TTATT.

Do You Think Many Engaged JW Couples Fooled Around B4 Marriage?
by minimus inwhen i was an elder, i had a few couples approach me to confess that they either played around or went all the way.. i suspect there were many more that did not admit to it, though..

Before I left over 2 yrs ago I had just ended a 3 yr "secret" relationship with an MS. I was a pioneer. He spent the night 4-5 nights per week and would leave for assemblies earlier than me from my house to care for his assignments. We were like bunny rabbits. I would feel guilty, sometimes horribly but he never did. Would never marry me. He cheated on me and it all came out but it ended up being a slap on the wrist because he was the golden child. It's laughable now how a couple could do what we did and only do it once and be disfellowshipped and we went at it hundreds of times and got nothing. Was just one of the many signs...

What am I going to wear to the AGM?
by sherrie11 into the women out there that have been honoured with an invitation this is the question they ask themself.. .
i am going to admit one of the reasons i enjoyed the meetings was getting to dress up.
how many women out there found the meetings an excuse to dress up.

joyfulfader
I pushed the limits in dress but pulled it off because i didnt show cleavage or wear anything too short but i would often wear a dress like the 4th one down in JakeM's post. with my 5 inch platform maryjanes...i felt good ;)
Guaranteed this Annual meeting caused some shopping trips amongst the ladies!

HOA suing us any help?
by Crazyguy injust thought i would ask in case any of you have had any experience with a home owners association.
i'm being sued for not paying dues and other fines and went to a mediation hearing a while ago.
we explianed that we we never informed of the hoa when we bought the home and never signed any agreement, infact i was very explicit with everyone involved in the buying proccess to make sure there was no hoa since i did not want to buy if there was one.

Def check with a lawyer. Apparently there is legislation in the works to take away the power of the HOA. They sued me for $1000 for non existent weeds and did not tell me and my lawyer said they are very hard to sue and are not afraid of the individual homeowner. Since it was not disclosed at closing you may have a shot. Depends on where you live and the state laws.

Letter in the mail to attend memorial
by truthhurts13 inso im cleaning out some old mail i have, then lo and behold a envelope falls out with a memorial invitation.
i don't remember getting it, but it was sent in the regular mail to my house with a typed letter inviting me to the 2013 memorial.
i can't believe i don't remember getting it!

I don't understand the purpose of going to her at the KH at this point or any other to say anything. Sometimes dignity calls for silence. Makes no sense to fuel a fire and propagate the notion that everyone out is "mentally diseased".

Are foreign-language groups at a disadvantage when learning TTATT?
by ILoveTTATT inthe watchtower library cd in spanish only goes back to watchtowers of 1970. this means that, for example, www.ajwrb.org 's info regarding blood can only be confirmed in articles from then onward.
english-speaking jw's can access information on watchtowers going back to 1950. this means that the "worship jesus" article (1954) is not available, the "we officially ban organ transplants" (1967) is not available, etc.. congregations in the u.s. and canada have had witnesses since... well... the beginning.
most kh libraries have very old books; it is relatively easy to find books going back to the very first watchtower!!

Absolutely. I am a Spanish interpreter and had much interaction with the Spanish congregations in the area and even contemplated moving over to one. There is virtually no way for them to find out TTATT unless they speak AND read English which a vast majority in this area cannot. It is a very insulated community with families speaking only Spanish especially with older family members. I am extremely close friends with a woman who has been studying with witnesses for yrs. I have been completely upfront with about my leaving and several reasons why. She said she will forever refuse to shun me. I am hoping she sees it for what it is...
