  rules about kids going door to door alone?

  by popcorn_eater in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my stepdaughter, who just turned 12, was telling me about her most recent door to door experience and how excited she was to get her first return visit.

  i was pretending to be happy for her and not horrified, and listening to the story.

  but then she said that the other person with her at the door was her 13 year old friend, also a girl.. i know the org doesn't seem to care much about children and their welfare, but is this normal?

  too far gone

  i was wondering if any elders on board or anyone for that matter has ever heard anyone within the organisation tell someone they are too far gone and could never change their lives and be re-instated?.

  i asked my brother who is an elder and he told me he has never heard it and he does not think it is possible for someone to have gone to far to be "rescued".

  your thoughts my learned friends.

  At the Assembly... Did you catch that talk about encouraging young ones to pursue a career in the ministry? ...and what about that 'murmuring'

  yes, i heard that talk where apparently (in my wife's circuit that is) there are 5 times as many pioneers over 50 or 60 than there are amongst the younger people.

  there was also 3 or 4 times as many elders and ms's amongst the elderly than there are amongst young people.

  the message, parents, friends, encourage your young ones to pursue an education and a career in the ministry.

  i've been lurking here since late last year...was very hesitant to join the forum because of fear that satan would control my pc.... .

  i'm born in, but always had my little doubts about "the truth" since i was young, but went ahead and got baptized ect.... .

  i stumbled upon this site while looking for a km and initially thought it was a jw forum, but after seeing some of the titles of various threads, i thought to myself "i'm on an apostate website".

  My Wedding Anniversary

  by TOTH in

  2. friends

  i am happy to announce that today marks 22 years of married bliss to the most beautiful girl on earth.

  my lovely wife was always being harassed by the local overlords for wearing too much makeup, having her hair too wild, and for not being submissive to them.

  when we began dating the overlords pressured me to get her to change.

  They don't think you can truly be happy "outside"

  i was on the phone with my mom last night (she's an uber-dub with a don't ask, don't tell type policy where we basically just don't discuss the fact that i celebrate holidays and go to church regularly etc.

  ) and she said she was talking to one of my old friends from the hall there.

  the friend asked my mom how i've been and my mom said she made a face and kind of went "ehhh..." and talked about my lack of meeting attendance (she doesn't know it's way more than that) and my friend shook her head and said, "aw, that's too bad, but i've been in ruts like that before" as though i'm just depressed and don't feel like going lately.

  Common JW phrases that aren't in the Bible

  by biometrics in

  2. bible

  i'm interested to know common phrases jehovah's witnesses use, but don't actually apear in the bible (even the nwt).

  especially phrases most jw's would assume are in the bible.

  e.g.. "paradise earth".

  mr. flipper here.

  has anybody had results talking with believing or non believing relatives or friends about the molestation coverup?

  i talked with my mom who has been a witness for 55 years and she was quite concerned about the wrongness of what's going on and wanted me to send her the ap news story on it, which i did.
