  New sad song: 0940 Our Spiritual Mother

  by 9.40am in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you might like our new song on you tube titled '0940 our spiritual mother' about the experience her 'children' have had as jehovah's witnesses.

  it's a reworded version of mother (pink floyd) set to new and historic watchtower images.. some who've already seen it have been kind enough to describe it as 'incredibly sad', 'powerful' and even 'poignant'.

  Here is the funeral talk outline. VERY discraceful.

  by stillstuckcruz in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is truly terrible.

  i just love the statement "instead of eulogizing the deceased, use the material in this outline to give a fine witness concerning the truth.

  " in other words, utterly disregard the deceased.

  Do you miss "dressing up" for the meetings?

  by dozy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was thinking about this the other day when doing a bit of tidying up of my wardrobe.

  all the kh suits are now pushed to the back of the wardrobe and i am seriously thinking about a visit to the charity shop to get rid of most of them.. for me one of the (few) enjoyable aspects of being a jw was getting dressed up.

  my secular work very rarely involves putting on a dress suit & tie so i miss getting dressed up - smart suit , tie , shiny shoes , slapping on the aftershave.

  The story of my life (part 13- Disfellowshipped)

  by onacruse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so here i was, in my late 20s, and in the late 1970s, disfellowshipped.. .

  to offer a bit of perspective: being dfd then was not like it had been before, or since.

  for a period of several years (1973-1980, as i recall), the wts had "lightened up" on the amount of communication that was "allowed" between dfd people and other jws, especially when it was family.
