Skepsis well done! You really got out of your comfort zone even moving to another country! Yes it's scary wondering what's out there in the world but it's just ordinary people living their lives. Congratulations and have a great life.

And finally I'm out
by Skepsis inhi all.. it's being a while that i don't share in the forum.
after moving to another country and finding a job, i asked my congregation in my country to send my publishing card here.

"Are you humble enough to admit you were wrong?"
by stuckinarut2 inthat is a question i want to calmly and politely ask a witness next time i interact with them.
perhaps at a cart.. "the bible says we should be humble.
may i ask, are you humble enough to admit you were wrong on things you believe?

I like it Stuck. I've been thinking for a while about approaching the JWs I see at the carts occasionally in my town. I couldn't memorize all the good suggestions I've heard on the forum but your question I would like to try, especially in connection with the 1914 generation and Armageddon being delayed. This has been taught from door to door for years so why wouldn't I know about it? No explanation of who I am needed.
Obviously they were wrong, but to put it to them are you humble enough to admit it, yes I like that. Then perhaps it would lead into a discussion. If they start on the latest explanation, overlapping generations, well nothing left to do! Just stand back and watch them trying to explain it, hopefully at least then it may strike them as ridiculous!

There are so many different types of women, career women, girly girls who love being taken care of, independent women who want to pay for themselves and make their own decisions, women who love children, women who don't. So don't just think 'women' we're all different.
Good luck, I'm single again so I can imagine how nervous dating must make you. Lots of good women out there and some not so good, just like men really. All the best in your efforts to meet someone special 🌷

So my PIMO Younger Brother Tried To Kill Himself Today
by pale.emperor inwe all know that this cult will drive those trying to leave to desperate measures, and today by brother was very nearly one of those statistics.
he slashed his thigh with a kitchen knife and was bleeding out until he called the police.. i got a call on my way home from work from a police officer, coincidentally it was one of my old friends from school who's now a cop.
he told me my brother is in hospital after an attempted suicide and has lost some blood but will be ok. but i should get to the hospital as he's asking for me.

PE well done, that must have taken in out of you to speak to the therapist about the JW shunning. You were so well prepared! They usually have a pay phone in psychiatric wards if you want to leave him your number and some change.

I second what Zeb has said PE make sure the staff in the psychiatric ward know what's going on. Otherwise they can react negatively to your brother not wanting to see certain family members and put it down to paranoia which can affect how long he stays in hospital. We're here for you.

Every time I see JW women I can't get over the length of the dresses, they're getting longer every year.

The 'anointed' woman who always wore purple. Her home was also purple, carpets, curtains, sofas.
The couple, he was a MS, who thought the devil made us all physically ill.
A woman who thought a JW man was visiting her in spirit form at night and raping her. I know because it was my husband she accused before we met.
