since me and my siblings had to go to service every saturday, and i mean every saturday, i missed out on something so normal as watching good ole saturday morning cartoons from the 70's and 80's.
i remember wishing i could stay home just one saturday so i could watch cartoons.
but noooo we had to go save lives!
Since me and my siblings had to go to service every Saturday, and I mean EVERY Saturday, I missed out on something so normal as watching good ole Saturday morning cartoons from the 70's and 80's. I remember wishing I could stay home just one Saturday so I could watch cartoons. But noooo we had to go save lives! I never did save any lives as a result of Saturday service. I was so envious of worldly kids.
What normal thing do you wish you could have done as a kid?
since half of them ended up at my house on friday and saturday nights i was given a very shining report card.
he then told me that he would knock on my door bright and early in the morning to take me to breakfast with him and his wife.
a couple of them told they enjoy the articles i write in the art magazines and they were really happy to meet me.
I was searching for another topic and stumbled on to this post. Damn am I glad I did! It's a short novel but puts everything into perspective. Everything from starting his awakening while working temporarily in bethel to starting his new life outside the idiotic trenches of jw world. Awesome story!
a few days ago, thanks to someone's post on here (sorry i forgot who it was), i found an awesome youtube channel called theramintrees.
the videos this guy has made are amazing!
i'm sure others here have seen some of his videos.
In reality whether the voice is to my liking or not, the information he presents is top notch.
i've recently been at an assembly here in romania and there was an announced they were running a 10,000 euro deficit and urging all attendees to donate more money besides the already 5k has was donated during that day.
i really don't understand these things.
it's their own assembly hall.
I was circuit accounts servant for 6 years until I stepped down as an elder because of my awakening. I can honestly say that at times we tried as hard as we could to be dishonest with the the brothers. If the time for the accounts report was coming up shortly and we were doing good with contributions, the assembly overseer would change the wording to make it sound as if we still needed more money to cover expenses even though we had more than enough.
yesterday’s watchtower talked about how by becoming a jw it enabled “worldly” people to ‘strip off the old personality’ and make really significantly good changes in their life.. paragraph named 4 individuals (anonymous names of course and probably embellished tales)) sakura, ribeiro, stephen, and hans.
their lives changed for the good because they found god or because they became jw’s---right?.
so on the way home from this wt meeting, my wife commented to me how wonderful our brotherhood is and how it helps people who would otherwise be ‘lost’ n this world.

Yea the voice is somewhat strange but the information, though he applied it to all religions, really hits home when it comes to the indoctrination one receives as a jw.

so the wt mag is all but gone just a few a year.
thus a big gap in the sunday program?
no more year books.
I would say 75-85% of adult jws don't know how to carry a conversation at the doors and 95-100% of young people have no idea. So it'll be interesting to see what happens. Most people are barely comfortable placing mags or tracts.
he became co when he was 23. i was wondering is he the youngest co ever?
his name is jonathan smith.
he is from south dakota.
How long ago was that? That would be pretty surprising if it was recent. Not shocking considering they could be having problems recruiting new COs.
not to be overly harsh...but if you just left, what the hell were you thinking?
between 1995 and now, you never did an internet search of "jehovahs-witness" or "watchtower"?
good god.
I think he's trying to get everyone riled up by throwing out a foolish question such as the last one. Good chance he's not even an ex-jw.
