  'Experiences(tm)'! Made up or totally true??

  by punkofnice in

  at one assembly(tm), i was asked to relate an 'experience(tm)' which i did.

  however, during rehearsals, the geezer in charge elder or co or some such title, told me that i shouldn't tell it the way it was.

  i did a 're-enactment(tm)' with another 'brother(tm)'.

  Very soon need greaters will give experiences. In reality they are actually going to developing countries to reduce their expenses because they do not want to work secularly or some other personal reasons.

  When was it time for you to walk away from your congregation meetings and the WTBTS?

  the basic virtue for a human being is to be true to yourself – the integrity of thought, emotion, and action.. .

  ten years ago ( after 32 years as a jehovah's witness), i finally decided that my own mental sanity and being true to myself was more important than attending congregation meetings and serving the watchtower society.

  i stopped (years before) field service, the ministry school, answering at the watchtower studies, missed numerous meetings and walked in minutes before the meetings started and left after the closing prayer, i knew it was time to leave.

  What about those places where there are few witnesses and nothing comes on newspaper? How do we wake such people who are not exposed to ttatt?

  That is why these days there are videos. GB checks directly if they are true or not. Is it not???

  Older JWs who go Overseas to Live

  by LongHairGal in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know of two older couples who have gone overseas to live in recent years.

  one could be classified in my opinion as a “need greater” although i think it might also have to do with getting more for their money.

  the other i think was seeking out a cheaper and more naturally beautiful environment to live in their retirement years.. what i wondered is if these people are disenchanted and bored with life in the states.

  Melbourne Convention Protest

  hi all.. i didn't want to post this in private because i want all to see what i saw.. the protest at the melbourne convention went superbly in my opinion.

  the protesters and their banners were more than eloquent and succinct.

  you could feel the emotion they all conveyed.

  Did the delegates avoid the protesters or they took note of it?

  they keep confirming that religion is big business.the melbourne international convention is this weekend and i wish all the best to the activists who will be present.i came across this website set up for jws in attendence with comprehensive guides and information.

  it's obvious that it has been created by the jws since they write this under the rooming tab.

  we are all now free to book accommodation using the recommended lodging list (rll) which is provided on the rooming website!.
