Coming in late on this topic;

Strip away the Org and you'll find that they are good people just like all of us here on this forum.

It's saddening to see these people waste away their lives for an organisation that is most probably the biggest fraud in history. Not to mention that the hierarchy think nothing of the R&F regardless of their status in the congregations.

I'm not knocking the singers and musicians in this video however, the lyrics and music is embarrassing.

Here's hoping that someday they too will break free from the org.

JW.org Featured Artical: When Your Adolescent Questions Your Faith

by pale.emperor in

this is one of the featured articals on jw.borg at the moment.

could it be because the young ones are googling their parents religion?, seeing the bullshit?, and calling their parents out on it?

i hope so.. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/wp20120201/adolescent-questions-faith/.

Bought My First Christmas Tree Last Night

by pale.emperor in

last year i didn't bother with christmas as it still felt like a "nothing" day to me (thanks watchtower!).

this is the 2nd christmas since waking up and leaving the cult and i've finally bought my first christmas tree:).

i have no idea what to do with it though.

Tallon

Hi PE

Enjoy the moment decorating your xmas tree with your daughter. Don't forget to take photographs of her putting her personal touch on the tree. In years to come you and her will reminisce the event. These will be precious memories.

Happy Thanksgiving 2017

by EverApostate in

once upon a time, as a jw, i was afraid to buy turkey during thanksgiving time.

while attending the thursday night ministry school meeting (on thanksgiving day), i was cautious not to mention the word thanksgiving, for fear of bringing reproach to bigj.. now, free at last, my happy thanksgiving wishes to everyone who celebrate this holiday..

Tallon

Happy Thanksgiving to all our American friends.

I hope you have a great time with your family.

Convention “Highlights” - bwhahaha!

by Muddy Waters in

taking a walk down memory lane at those looooonnnnngg, tedious conventions... .

(boy, they weren’t kidding when they spoke about being long-suffering and having endurance!).

but what were some of your convention highlights, or lowlights, from back in the day?.

Tallon

Years ago when I attended the district conventions at a university stadium in South Africa (with the sun bearing down upon us - it was hot as hell) the vast majority of the attendees sat in the grandstands sweltering in the heat or got soaked in the rain. A minority of us used to sit behind the mound under the trees - we erected gazebo's and sat comfortably in our camping chairs with the cooler boxes containing our lunch and a couple of sneaky drinks - lol. We couldn't see the stage however the sound dept set up speakers. I used the opportunity to catch up on some sleep.

Admins & Mods ... who are they?

by Tallon in

jw
friends

this is just a general query, and am hoping someone can clarify.. a lot of web forums usually list the usernames of the admins & moderators.

i have not seen listed, unless someone can show me otherwise, the admins & moderators of this web forum.. from what i can gather, simon is the owner & admin of this web forum.

scully has just locked a discussion thread - so i'm guessing that s/he is either an admin or moderator.. who are the admins & moderators ?.

Tallon

Hi Simon

Thanks for the confirmation. The web forum is really well self-managed, with minimal intervention from admin & mods.
