  the january wt study edition has an article about staying close to jehovah.

  i noticed this in paragraphs 14 and 15:.

  14, 15. why must we not look to the financial system for security?

  Quick question, did you feel lonely at the meetings even though you were part of the action?

  by Theocratic Sedition in

  just curious, something i've noticed only lately.

  i'm in the mix within the congregation, stay late after the meeting is over, converse with quite a few people afterwards, make plans for saturday and sometimes sunday service and yet i feel so awfully alone walking to my car afterwards.

  i feel lonely when i'm talking and laughing with people after the meeting.

  Greetings! From an Existent JW!

  by Ethos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'd like extend a greeting to all members of jwn.

  i've been a lurking by-stander of this forum for approximately 6 months.

  i think this forum's best moments can be attributed to the involvement of actual jw's in doctrinaire discussions and to heated (though not always dialectic) debates.

  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.

  What is your strangest "supernatural" JW story?

  by donny in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i had just became a witness and a guy i worked with, who was also a jw, told me a story that actually made me laugh and i think it upset him a bit.

  the storys were almost always in the third person.

  it went as follows.. this brothers wife and him were sitting at the kingdom hall on the end seats of the row next to the back of the room.
