You are no coward. However, you should do your best to get the children out of the middle of the questioning.

I'm a coward.
by cappytan insince the move, it has been so enjoyable to not have jw's breathing down our necks asking why we didn't make the meeting, or having to pretend to be "spiritual" in front of family all the time.. 90% of my week is virtually stress free.
then, my mom calls or texts wanting to talk to her grandkids.
every dang call, she asks about the new congregation, if we went to the meeting, etc.. why can't i tell her to fk off?

Britain Branch Construction - UPDATE
by The Searcher indefinitely something going in the london bethel.. i thought i'd ask them again (and record it again) what the situation was regarding the new britain branch construction work.. i got the same sister (debbie) and here is how the conversation went: .
me: i've been told that construction of the new branch has been stopped - is this true?.
debbie: no, it has not ceased, it's carrying on as normal - can i ask where you're calling from?.

If it can be proven that they did not clean up the land properly, they will have a whole host of future litigation against them for many who may get sick with cancer.

What is the most bizarre counsel you received as a JW, from a JW?
by Funchback inthere were many addressed to me.
for example, i once had a sister tell me i was gambling because i liked playing skill crane (the machine where you have to try to pick up prizes like stuffed animals) at the arcade.
i then fired back a her: "you saw the r-rated movie 'backdraft.

During a quick build an elder made me cover up my Nike swoosh logo on my shirt with duct tape.
During any event that involved dancing an elder would run around the dance floor with a six inch ruler and make sure that anyone single was at least that far away from their dance partner.

What I said to an Elder and the matter was dropped.
by Simon Templar ini decided to tell this small story.. about 25 years ago, we lived in a certain area in the usa and associated with the local congregation there.
coincidently, one of the elders was the assistant congregation servant in a different kh and congregation which i grew up in.
therefore, we knew one another well.

Sounds to me like they were talking about using you in the congregation and this elder was making use of the holy spirit to give you a litmus test and see if he could bluff you into admitting to any sin that might disqualify you to become elder.

The bridge burning has begun.
by sparrowdown ini was feeling particularly hopeless about the whole jws being assholes thing and sick to death of pretending so ....
i rang my sister and told her that i no longer believe jws have the truth and the phone went silent, when i asked her to say something she just said if that was the case then she would have to hang up on me and then proceeded to indeed hang up..
so i texted her back immediately with fu..

What is the most strange action of a witness while out in field service?
by adjusted knowledge ini was paired with this older "brother" when i was a teenager.
he was very very strange.
he was a nice guy but goofy.

Wife met a woman at the door who agreed to a bible study, but could not at her home at that moment.
They agreed to meet at the Kingdom Hall just a few blocks away from the woman's home in 30 minutes.
The woman showed up at the K.H. 30 minutes later as agreed, they sit down on a bench outside and begin talking.... it was late morning and many other car groups were returning to the K.H.
About 60 seconds into their discussion the woman goes into a full blown holy spirit infused rant... yelling at the top of her voice... on how the JW were all wrong all the while waving her bible in the air.
It was funny as hell to see the elders rush the returning publishers into the hall away from this demon possessed woman while at the same time try to get her to leave the property.
