WT Lap Dance Anyone?

by Solzhenitsyn in

from the 11/2018 wt study edition:.

lap dancing is a form of lewd conduct that is becoming more common in the world”.

perhaps this observation goes hand in hand with the previous article pp.17 that “….

How on earth would they know unless they're out in places where lap dancing is going on. I've never heard about it becoming more common

The bridge

by truthwillsetyoufree in

so my father, who is an active jehovah’s witness, told me yesterday of an experience currently doing its rounds amongst the witnesses in relation to cart witnessing.

there is a bridge called ‘the bridge’ which is a well known place for people committing suicide.

apparently the jws have been setting up there literature carts there for a while now and ever since they have there has been no more suicide attempts from the bridge.

Maybe they've gone elsewhere rather than talk to jws at the cart

A Fantasy I Have To Protest Cart Witnessing

by Wild_Thing in

i am not a protester and i hate confrontation, but i have always thought it would be hilarious to set up a kool-aid stand right next to the jw carts and sell purple kool-aid.

i wonder how many would get the joke?.

Cart wars

by gabcol in

friends

i was watching youtube the other day and came across " cart wars".

i understand different people have different ways of protesting and dealing what they have been through, but this guy genuinely scares me.

am i the only one?.

I watched part of the silent signs one that he did where he didn't speak and just held signs up about the org. The elder called the police and tried to make out the ex jw had mental problems but the police didn't believe the elder and left. The ex jw stayed and the jws ended up leaving instead

Hi Just to let you know you are not alone and our hearts and thoughts are with you. It's very hard to leave the religion, it took me over 2 years to pluck up the courage to do it but I'm so much happier now. I've made new friends and they all have different beliefs and don't judge each other for them. They accept you for who you are as a person not for what your religion is.

You are an adult now and you make your own decisions, your parents don't make them for you now. They certainly can't force you to stay in the religion, they might have given birth to you but they don't own you. Do what makes you happy not what will make them happy or you'll have so many regrets. Live life to the full and enjoy making new friends and learning new things.

As for your other post about going on a date, just be yourself, go at your own pace and if he likes and respects you then he'll accept your boundaries. If he doesn't then he's not the right person. Just relax and have fun and do an activity together that is fun and lightens the atmosphere such as bowling or archery or something. The conversation will flow naturally.

Dirt Fishing - Latest Coin Finds

by cofty in

it's that time of year again when i can get back on the fields with the metal detector looking for ancient stuff.

the first field to be harvested was full of peas - ideal as it leaves no stubble and it's a two minute walk from my house.

it has given up two coins in two visits this week.. the first one is a cut-half silver penny from the reign of henry ii.

I need to get a metal detector and have a go up in Scotland

Bad teachings for kids

by Freedom rocks in

during my time in the cult i sometimes sat during a talk thinking why on earth are they talking about topics like this with kids in the audience.

talking about sex and masturbation was probably the worst one i heard and my daughter was only 5 at the time.. what inappropriate talks or comments have you heard over the years that children should not be exposed to really?.

Freedom rocks

Their views on oral and anal sex were ridiculous. I can t remember having to sit through a talk on those thankfully. I'd have left the room with my daughter if there'd been a talk about them

I got a shock at an assembly when she was 9 coz she was taking notes and had written 'stay away from gay men coz they're going to die' and 'sex is bad'. She even wrote a list once of the worldly people that she knew that were going to die at Armageddon. I was horrified
