  i am definitely not selling this product, but i just saw an advertisement for this and thought it is the perfect watch for the exjw who is trying to really just enjoy life and not try to have every second of everyday plotted out.. https://www.slow-watches.com/.

  for instance my typical monday was:.

  5:30 - 6:00 read text with wife and "meditate" on it.

  no mention of them being mentally diseased or using "lies" to deceive god's people, just that they are out to attract followers for themselves!.

  Hey Dude - What You think about this?

  From Wikipedia...

  The shaka sign, commonly known as "hang loose", is a gesture often associated with Hawaii and surfer culture. It consists of extending the thumb and smallest finger while holding the three middle fingers curled, and raising the hand in salutation while presenting the back; the hand may be rotated back and forth for emphasis.

  The shaka sign was popularized among locals in Hawaii through its use by surfers and in surf culture throughout the state in the 1960s; it remains a salutation of friendship used by the local culture at large.

  In other words... this is a worldly hand gesture which is not sanctioned by the Watchtower Corporation.

  Going to Kingdom Hall for first time

  since my family is out of town, and i am alone this weekend, i have decided to attend this once to see these things for myself.

  have no fear, i have absolutely no interest in joining.

  my goal is simply to better understand how to reach those who are on the inside, and i feel i could better do that by observing it.

  PLEASE ASK ONE OF THE ELDERS THIS QUESTION:

  If I convince my family to join your religion and we all get baptized, will my family not be allowed to interact with me if I decide to formally resign from the JWs afterwards?

  Tacoma Dome Parking Scandal

  by VM44 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  remember the tacoma dome parking scandal?.

  it was reported a few years ago that the wt would charge witnesses for parking at the tacoma dome even though the contract with the dome stated that no parking charges were to be made.

  of course the people in the kingdom halls were not told that, only reminded to be sure to pay for their parking!.

  Protest at district convention in Budapest, Hungary

  whatever your thoughts on the shouting, displaying a simple web address is an extremely effective and non-confrontational way of getting the message across - and in this case it looks like hundreds if not thousands of witnesses saw it.. .

  cedars.

  Really enjoyed the CONvention....why?

  by punkofnice in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i remember when i was a mind cleansed(tm) jw i would listen to the talks when i wasn't napping.. on the long tiring drive home i'd say how i ''enjoyed(tm)'' the sessions and felt ''encouraged(tm)''.. .....and yet i couldn't recall a single ''point(tm)'' made.

  i couldn't remember what it was that actually made me feel good.. on one occasion i asked the family what they found ''encouraging(tm)'' or interesting.. tumble weed.

  no examples.

  Punkofnice...

  It was probably the usual "We Thank You Jehovah" song at the end of the convention... That's their signature convention closer... After singing that song with the full orchestra track, everyone generally feels "uplifted" albeit not seeming to remember one single thing they've learned from the entire 3-day snore-fest...

  Baffling comment by my JW parents about non-witness funeral

  by joyfulfader in

  2. experiences

  my parents attended the funeral of an elderly family member today.

  being out of state i was unable to attend.

  i asked how it went and was told that "worldly" people don't care enough about anyone to mention anything personal.

  In a JW funeral, a brief mention of the deceased such as: "She served Jehovah faithfully for 25 years" is enough to call it a "personalized" funeral talk...

  However, 99% of it is merely a Watchtower Corporation recruitment talk. Nothing has changed.
