Pop Trivia

by Simon in

so many serious topics lately ... so for anyone who wants a break, it's trivia time and the subject is pop music.. which act is the only one to have a top 100 hit both before, during and after the beatles had theirs?.

no googling.

if you guess, you also need to add a trivia question for others to answer..

The Scorpions!!

Hi First Post Here

by Distracted in

jw
friends

just wanted to break the ice and write my first post here and also talk about some things that are bothering me.

i don't go to meetings anymore and i have become inactive for years now.

i don't believe the witnesses have the truth more than any other organized religion.

FayeDunaway

I'm sorry you feel lonely, but I understand. We've all been there. Come here when you want to talk. We're always here.

Is my friend on the way out of the organisation?

by The Rebel in

jw
friends

when i left the watchtower i realised it was best to put friendships on hold.

however i mentioned to my best friend that i didn't agree with how they handled child abuse issues and that was one of the reasons i left.. anyway as i am fortunate and own two rental apartments and he is a plumber so we have kept in contact, in that i email him when i require his services and he sends me the invoice.

anyway i am now dissociated, but yesterday i emailed him about a pluming problem, and he replied.. " sorry we missed going to the indian ( this was a comment made about us having a meal together about 9 months ago, which i backed out of because i felt he was too indoctrinated and i had not disassociated myself) anyway his email continued:-.

Thanks rebel. I'm sorry!! I know your hopes must have been raised. I'm curious what your comment was. Possibly he's thinking about what to reply, or maybe he's just beginning to doubt and he felt a sudden wave of disloyalty.

Farewell

by EdenOne in

"don't be dismayed by good-byes.

a farewell is necessary before you can meet again.

and meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.

I usually avoid Viviane's posts as well. I used to get hot and bothered but ignoring them keeps the negativity out of my day. If I see her picture more than once in a post I avoid the thread because I know what it's going to be like. On the other hand, sometimes I've 'liked' her posts, she's quite fun when she's not being petty or mean. But because I avoid the argumentative posts, I have no idea which thread you are talking about, Eden. I'm really sorry you were that badly hurt and that you felt enough people didn't care.

I would reconsider if I were you, though. We need to support eachother. We've been stifled our whole lives, not being able to speak our minds freely. Don't let bullies do you in now. Also, I don't think you gave Simon enough time to respond to your request. Sleep on it.

I miss my family so much. I thought I was over it but I have breakdowns every few months thinking about my family

by macys in

as most of you know i have been shunned by my family for 2 years because of a photo posted on facebook of me kissing another girl at a party.

the matter was not dealt with fairly but it is over now and i am 100% certain that jdub org is a cult.

but i miss my family so much.

FayeDunaway

Once you have kids your parents might want to know them anyway. And as a Df'd person, you will have the authority to tell them you do not want them indoctrinated in the cult. If you are reinstated you have to pretend that it's ok, and that would be damaging to them.

in any case, I've lost my family for the most part too, and I feel your pain :/.

"Only Baptized Ones have Unrestricted Privilege of Prayer"

by BluesBrother in

i was sitting at the recent circuit assembly that i attended, (the things i do for sis blues) and the baptism talk was under way .

i admit that my mind was more on my imminent packed lunch and flask of coffee but i distinctly heard the speaker make the statement that heads this thread and cite a wt reference.. you what !

i was shocked....... how can they possibly make such an arrogant statement ?

FayeDunaway

REVOLTING!! And inaccurate and haughty and disgusting. I must have been sitting in a Kingdom Hall in 1990 and did that watchtower and didn't even notice. Ugh!
