my husband called me this afternoon to tell me that he drove by the lakewood congregation (on madison ave.) and it is closed, boarded up!

hurrah!.

i only hope this means that there is waning interest in this area and they don't have a large enough congregation, and not that they're building a larger place elsewhere..

Why are honest questions considered apostasy?
by Rayvin in
1. jw
2. experiences
this is why as i was growing up (raised in "the truth") i never asked questions.

i never understood the birthday issue among other holidays.

i never asked because i was scared i would be looked at as an apostate or as someone being worn down by the wicked association.

Inappropriate "shepherding" calls.
by avishai in
1. jw
2. friends
how many have recieved calls by the elders that were under the guise of "shepherding", but somehow inappropriate, i.e, you were a woman alone with only one elder showing up, or you felt physically intimidated by both.

or say they show up at like, 10:30 at night for a shepherding call.

and you say "hey, i appreciate the visit but please call first!

so my brother and i have been having talks about what will happen when our dad passes away eventually.

most of his brothers and sisters have died in their 50's or early 60's.

here's a transcript of a post about the 2005 godly obedience convention (which i read about on this board and seemed to highlight a drama in which a biblical story was highly distorted in order to discourage higher education) from a jw youth group on www.myspace.com.

How did you get the "troof"?
by dorayakii in
1. jw
2. experiences
i was assimilated at birth... .

my maternal grandparents came to england in the early 1940s, and learnt the troof here.

my grandfather opposed my grandmother for a while, but then he decided it wasn't worth the fight and studied the blue "troof book" and my grandparents got baptised at the same assembly.

1. jw
2. experiences
wow, yeah i was looking fr the theocratic ministry school oral review questions and i came across an apostate site!

the site was www.jehovahs-witness.com and was just fill of retarded apostates!

they were not only using a domain name and header name that denotes a conection with the actual watchtower society, but where using it to blasphem the jehovah's true organization in order to help people break away.
