  The Apology Tour

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  everyone seems to be hitting the apology circuit.

  if you ever said anything inappropriate or what might be considered offensive, then you must apologize.

  if you possibly could have hurt someone’s feelings, you need to say sorry.

  What we did when attending a dry JW wedding reception.

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  many years ago when the wife and i were still active we attended a friends wedding reception at a top class licensed restaurant in the cbd ,we were close friends with the bride and her family .apparently the grooms parents decided it was going to be a dry reception with no alcohol to be served.. as i said we were close friends with the brides parents an elder & " elderette" and they certainly liked a drink or two or three etc.. i asked the bartender for a drink for my wife & myself and was told it was a dry session & no alcohol was to be served as the grooms father was putting the bill.. so i said to the bartender i am quite happy to pay my own way for the drinks regardless ,so i got served while everybody else had to sit through a dry session.. and these were well off people trying to make a statement .. bloody wowsers..

  Shunning Hath Begunith

  by Solzhenitsyn in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my spouse assumed that being honest would feel liberating.

  appointments were made with pimi parents to let them know of the decision to no longer be a jw.

  before the tall nonfat latte at starbucks was half drunk and after her parents asked several direct questions, they stood up, hugged her and said "well this is goodbye, return to jehovah and we'll pick up right where we left off, we love you," and walked out the door.

  Did you actually read the bible end to end?

  by Ultimate Axiom in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in my ten years as a witness i never read the whole bible end to end, what with four magazines a month, the book study, meetings and talk preparations, there just wasn’t the time.

  i knew all the important references to ‘prove’ the various jw doctrines, and the cherry picked chapters that help foster the idea that it’s a good book, but that’s not reading it.

  well after nearly forty years out, i decided i would do it.
