JW Witnessing Trolleys. To approach or ignore what is your preference and why?

by KateWild in

i saw two brothers this morning next to the main train station in liverpool city centre this morning.

they were not actively approaching anyone.

what i found strange was that they were from a cong that has different territory, so i don't know why they were there.. anyway i knew them both, and they know i was df'd, i was in my car and couldn't park up for a chat, but i did beep and wave to them as i drove passed and they waved back.

No time to lose

No time to argue about a "talking snake" or the "wash- to- wear busine$$.."

Just a nice smile passing by . thats me .

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

They are in a strange jail . the key for the exit door is inside their pocket !!

Some turn it at 20 yo , some turn it at 65 yo and some ...never find they have a pocket and a key inside...

And this jail have a very special door too ....the lock is ONLY INSIDE ...you CANT open it from outside ..... ( i tried very hard . i broke my "apostates fingers" )

Good luck to all !! inside, outside ...or turning the key now....with a shaking hand....

Ps : Btw .. they have internet in this jw.jail ...no ? yes ! ( i can hear many keys turning now , and even more in a close future ....GOOD ! )

I'm getting baptized

by BlackWolf in

jw
friends

i know i've started similar topics before but this time i'm serious.

my parents have been constantly pressuring me and after yesterday's watchtower study they asked me if i was going to be baptized this summer... and i said yes.

i probably should have thought about it more before making a final decision, but they're pretty much forcing me to do it anyway.

Absolutesbeginners

Hi "Black wolf"
as you can see all over the world we wonder about you ...

You dropped a « small» bomb to your father ....and what ...???
He didnt jump all over the place calling you « devil» .........
Just quiet .....he said ....i will see ..................................( he knows you ‘re right of course )

I am sure he is ALREADY awake . ( or on the way to )

His slow reaction proves it . He is feed up of this circus i am sure !!

Imo deep inside very deep deep inside he thinks « she is clever ! she is my girl !»

But of course he will not tell you by words .its too hard. He is trapped too .
But i am sure he is proud of you already .
YOU are taking the Power . to say Yes or No !

The big problem is your mother .

Dont argue with her about thoses topics ( 1914 , overlapstuff , ARC ...) its useless ...
Losing time ; energy and finishing with tears and screams ............
Useless ....

She is on the Cult-autopilot . and maybe forever . my mother too .
I know well this kind of story .

But dont go drown your soul in this dirty swimming pool .

( maybe its not water inside ? its only the tears of the ones who got baptised the years before ? yes ....................i am a poet sometimes ........)

YOU have the powerr ( sorry i send some " oldies ") but Patti knows well about Jw stuff . Ask her . Abso

Hello Mr Blackwolf ,

DONT go to the swimming pool . ( like i did last century...)

The end was "sooooo clooose" you know ..... ; )

If THEY put a lot of pressure just say " its an important choice, and i need more time and reflexion " ( and its true )

Too young to drive , too young to get married ....so ....too young, thats all !! ; )

Stay "quiet" , work hard at school , and just say NO to the swimming pool .

Easy to say , hard to do isn't ; ) !!!

Never forget this powerfull word in life : " NO "

Stay strong, you are not alone .

Special Talk from the GB?

by punkofnice in

a current jw told me there was going to be a special talk (tm) from the governing body(r) next month.

apart from the usual hilarious jw tv stuff, i haven't heard of anything.. any info any one?

the jw didn't seem to know much either.

Absolutesbeginners

Maybe they need more $$ ??

or they need a new " public relation manager ..!!"

Or maybe they are going to annonce that "Caleb" is disfellowshiped because he looked JW.FACTS on his smartphone ......

Bunch of old crabs with loser's watchs ....

Model Jw family?

by MrTheocratic in

i would like to get the opinion of those on this community.

does serving as an elder make one a bad family man.

with all the demands placed on those serving... how can one make time for family life?

Absolutesbeginners

For the "show" its ok ..

with Sophia and Caleb , smiling , getting ready to go door to door ...

throwing SPARLOCK in the garbage on the way ....And signing their new blood card for the new year .....

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

In real life its just NOT ok .

I am not my father, but i know him quite well . the WORST part of his life ( by far )was when he was "elder" ( five years something ..?) . familly life was too at the time.

Allways on time at KH , allways door to door , always answering to meeting , with a lot of yellow pen on the STUDIES ....( Look , rows behind ....i PREPARED it !! )

And heads moving when a Boss is passing bye .yeah yeah ...this is soooo deeep ...so powerfullll.....the end is sooooo cloose ....

Bol...cks

it was 25 years ago .

Any here who didn't rebel as a teenager and were a goody two shoes instead?

by purrpurr in

jw
friends

when i was a teenager in the borg i was a dyed in the wool, goody two shoes, squeaky clean,"spiritual " sister.

alot of my peers around me were rebelling and going off the rails but not me.

i was constantly praised for this and even felt a little smug about it ha!.

Absolutesbeginners

Yes i see what you mean ....
« i should have rock the boat earlier « I think the same sometimes .....i was like you a «goody two shoes « until my 18 een .
But if i wasnt it would have been WW3 at home i guess ....big time ... ( it was even anyway )

Past is the past; and you CANT change it ....and maybe i think if you want to smoke drink and spend nights with many different people you can wait after 18 anyway .no ?

Many teens with parents whom are not jw do the same . quiet until 18. thats all .

dont really know if its good or bad . and i dont have kids myself ......

What i regret the most about my teenage times in jwland is that i was going door to door every f...ing week ,and that every year i signed "by myself" this f...ing «blood card» .

I guess i was too young and powerless to say «NO» !

This list is missing many other things ........

Yes you right we should have rock the boat EARLIER !!

Nevertheless dont forget some people NEVER wake up ......!!

So your are lucky ! look in front of you , not behind you !

( do what i say , not what i do
Take care .

Absolutes beginners.

Ps btw me too i felt like i wasnt part of "their world" at the time , and still think now i am not part of "this world "too . 20 years later ....lets take it as a chance ..."another point of view in life"

Skin of My Teeth

by WhatshallIcallmyself in

an evidence for divine origin that has often been used (at least to me) is where job describes "...escap[ing] with the skin of my teeth".

science is quoted as having discovered that teeth are covered in skin and therefore how would job have known something that modern science has only just discovered.

i was reminded of this at this weeks meeting when this verse was quoted but was surprised when a commenter said how it wasn't necessary to mention this in light of other "evidence" in the bible.

Absolutesbeginners

You right .

The "Job' s skin's teeth" is THE THING

It is the "OFFICIAL LINE "

Life is wonderfull of surprises isnt!!

It IS an evidence for DIVINE ORIGIN !
