What did you regrettably not do because you were a Jehovah's Witness ?
by minimus injehovah's witnesses cannot do a lot of things.
i remember pioneers having to quit their jobs because they could not work in a convenience store and sell cigarettes.
i know of a young man who was offered a scholarship to any college or university if he wanted to go to because of his football abilities.

Each to their own however, I would never divulge that I was once a JW. It is in my past and will forever remain in my past.

My apologies darkspliver; I was not aware that you had already posted on this.
Simon; you might want to consider removing this discussion. No point in having two discussions on the same topic.

Here is Lloyd Evans (Cedars) view on it. As we say in the UK, it's a 'piss take' ... LOL

Fancy becoming emotionally attached to a pair of Jeans...
by The Rebel inand it was with great sadness that today my favorite pair of dirty denim, armani jeans were thrown in the bin.
they cost me £260 to purchase, and were value for money, as they were worn for many years and together we shared some wonderful occasions.they were stitched on numerous occasions, and loving repaired.
but today, and to my wife's relief i finally binned my amani jeans.

Commiserations, The Rebel.
I still have my 'christening 'cup', given to me by one of my uncle's when I was christened over 50 years ago.
I will never part with it.

There is some pretty incredible people out there in the "world"
by LevelThePlayingField ini am a fan of a video came called simcity and other building games like cities skylines and the such also legend of grimrock.
anyway, as i watch others plays these games on youtube i have noticed that there are some pretty intelligent people out there.
how others can solve the puzzles way better than i can on legend of grimrock and how they can build cities in ways that i had not thought of at all.

Hank Marvin - lead guitarist with The Shadows.
Not sure if he made £/ $ millions however, he must have earned a comfortable living.
Main thing is; he influenced many, many guitarists throughout the world with his unique style of playing.

I am a Living Time Machine
by TerryWalstrom inwhich world is this?_________________when the doctor pulled my screaming body out of mom all those 7 decades ago, i landed in a post-wwii world.it was--compared to today's world--an alien planet.. the world i live in today has nothing in common with the world in which i grew up.. there were no cell phones back then--there were black telephones with a dial-tone and an operator who placed your call.
everywhere you found telephone booths!
a call was a nickle.where did all those telephone booths go?i dunno.where did my whole world go?i dunno.. tv sets were huge boxes with tubes and small screens.

When The Persecution Comes
by cofty inwhen i was young everybody used to fantasise constantly about how brave we would all need to be "when the persecution comes".
we worried about what "they" would do to us and how we would never talk or betray other jws.
psychologically it was a damaging environment for children; but maybe that's another topic.. who would have thought that when it finally came it would take the form of being sued for protecting pedophiles.

... I actually feel bad for the many innocent elderly long-term JWs who must be feeling betrayed and bewildered - cofty
We were all betrayed however, these folk who sacrificed their entire lives to being JW's were, IMO, robbed the most. Where can they go to now?
