  2. experiences

  today is my first post on jwd, i was one of jehovahs witness for almost 50 years of my life, i was born into the religion.

  i was baptized at a young age and once i got married i was a very spiritual woman as they would call me.

  my husband and i served as full time pioneers, we traveled abroad and went to international conventions, did some special pioneer service in other states in the us.

  Welcome, a great and heart warming introduction from you. I think that the more immersed in it the harder it was to see it for what it really is, so well done for allowing your human nature to influence you. It's the WT that want people to dull their senses and accept everything without question.

  synchronicity - the simultaneous occurrence of events that appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection.

  New layout feels very chaotic

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  i don't really know how to describe the feeling but i'll give examples, but the new layout to me makes it feel tiring being on for too long.

  1. there is the top menu, then a big add between that and the next part, a big ad between the bottom and where you reply, then on the right column you either have 2 ads on top or some type of summary, then ad, then either related posts or other areas.

  there are no borders, the adds have the same color and text type but larger font, and it all seems chaotically merged into one thing where you need to constantly sort out what you are viewing.

  I'm online with work pretty much all day long and really like the new forum. User friendly and mobile device friendly too. A definite improvement in my opinion.

  i have faded away but the wife and kids still go.

  when i stopped others in the hall stepped up to help indoctrination the kids.

  anything i say and tell the kids they don't want to listen too because of course its contrary to what their told at the lovely hall where their friends go.

  Shower them in love and prove to them you are a decent person. Kids see through BS, let them see how good you are without the need of indoctrination.

  his chosen subject is the history and teachings of jehovah's witnesses.. should be easy for him, right?.

  uber dub random meeting and why all the changes to the format here?!

  by tiki in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ran into an uber-dub known from my history in the org......she had to be very sure i wasn't d'fed or d'aed - merely "inactive" so she could give me a big hug and inform me that she knows i'm coming back to jehovah because he understands my "hurt" and....blah blah blah.

  it struck me how dependent they are on labels.......and how very stupid it is....you can hug me because i don't have the df label?

  would i be a different person if i had that label?

  i am not usually impressed by human interest stories but this guy does more good in five minutes, does more to promote humanity in 5 minutes than a bus load of sterile literature carts and cartons of propaganda.. what say you, can one person make difference?

  Google Nicholas Winton, there are over 15,000 people alive today because of something he did on his two week vacation many years ago.

  Looks much nicer than a scary monster. Glad you are on a path that suits you, all the best. I am sure your daughter will adjust, it can take a while when young ones have seen their parents doing one thing and now doing another. Encourage her to follow her heart also
