  Hello

  hello, i've been lurking for quite some time here on this forum, reading a whole lot and i've finally made the courage to create an account as a form of escape and in hopes to be understood and not feel "mentally diseased".

  little background on me, i am a born in but i consider myself a pimo (physically in mentally out).

  i feel like i've always had doubts but these doubts would sink with the meetings and the assemblies and every other little thing that drowns any doubts a witness may have.

  Cute: A Goose Quacked And Pecked At A Cop’s Car. When He Followed Her, He Couldn’t Believe What He Saw!

  officer james givens has served with the cincinnati police department for over 26 years, but has never quite experienced anything like this before.

  he was sitting in his patrol car in a parking lot when he got an unexpected visitor.

  a goose came up to his car and started pecking on the side of it.

  Are You Raising An Introvert?

  by darth frosty in

  2. friends

  its not easy being an introvert in an extrovert worldespecially when youre a kid.

  it is even more difficult if none of the adults in the kids life recognize that the child is an introvert.

  this doesnt happen only when the childs parents are extroverts, but also with introverted parents who have never understood their own introverted nature.. .

  Help/Advice on Birthday Present

  by Phizzy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a very xjw type problem, i am invited to my cousin's 70th birthday party, and really don't know what to buy him.. i only met him a couple of months ago, as my jw parents never encouraged the non-jw side of the family, so i don't know much about him, except that he is retired and his hobby is sailing his boat.. i don't have contact details for his kids etc to ask them for ideas, so could you come up with something please ?

  not too extravagant, i am a poor pensioner !

  but, it is his 70th.. thanks in advance for any tips !.

  Some businesses, such as bookstores etc, offer gift vouchers.

  So, maybe give a gift voucher and let him use it to buy whatever he wants.

  the video was posted directly to a pro-jw facebook page.

  i cant believe what i'm hearing... actually, nothing surprises be about this cult anymore.. didn't they say to the judge in the arc that they dont discourage college?.

  To label someone undertaking higher education as 'spiritually weak' is, in my view, both ridiculous and narrow minded. Yet they are always on the lookout for recruiting into Bethel people with university or college education such as doctors, nurses, lawyers etc. Even artisans such as electricians, plumbers, fitters etc attend college to learn their trade theory.
  

  Anyone who ridicules higher education, whether they're the GB or rank and file members, are fools.
