5Is this where the idea of hell came from?
by Inisc inarticle on mail online about a greek cave found in the 1950s (sorry i don't know how to link it).
experts believe may have started the hades myth.. found it very interesting to think this may have been behind the ideas of superstitious men writing about things in their environment they simply just didn't understand.
if any of the more tech savvy posters could link it?.

How Are You Treated When JWs See You?

Depends on who the jw is. Some will smile and keep walking others stop and say hello.
But it's always awkward and I realise how little in common I have with them. Once you ask how they are doing and how their family are doing there isn't much left to talk about beyond the weather.
There is one jw I see now again who is quite chatty but the conversation usually turns to the meeting or what assembly is going to be about, and I never quite no what to say to that.

At what age do people 'wake up'?
by Splash ini was thinking about this question recently after being at the meeting when new pioneers were announced for the 2013 service year.. we have a dozen or so pioneers in the congregation, and most are in their 20's.
some absolutely love the things they are taught and can't wait to spread the good news.. others in the congregation are going through the motions, tired of hearing the same old same old but have no way to change things now.
then there are a couple like me.

Started waking at 21
Stopped going at 22
Didnt wake up completely til 26
It was a gradual process with lots of reading and thinking involved.

This system is not all bad.
by Inisc inhi, everyone.. for many jws all they ever hear about is how wicked the world is and how it has gotten even worse lately.
the media does not help either.. and even for many ex jws who still have family who are still in, we have to listen to all that doom and gloom about the end of this system.. but, i would just like to recommend a website i found, (not sure if that violates jwn rules) .
its not religious at all, but is a news source of many heartwarming stories and news articles from all over the world that show just how wonderful life and and people can be.. i find it's a great antidote to remind us that the whole world is not wicked and in fact wickedness is still in the minority!.

the possibilities are endless, goof off and go to starbucks or shopping or whatever and not worry about rocks raining on your head!.

Absolutely mrs jones, I feel no guilt anymore.
I just wish I didn't at the time and had the ability to make the time go by way faster as a child when I had no choice but to go.
