  so our school has just had the school inspectors in, looking and observing lessons.

  the similarities with a co visit is uncanny.. how well behaved teachers, members of staff and pupils are..

  I don't have a belief. That part of me is dead, and I'm ok with it and too busy to care.

  My story and what I'm trying to do with it

  my dad was an elder my entire life and my sister a regular pioneer for most of my life, along with my mother.

  ill never forget being 4 years old and staring up at the stars outside and my dad leaning over to and saying "look what jehovah made for you".

  my response, "but how do you know god is real"?

  Kleenex Head Covering

  by jwundubbed in

  growing up a woman in the cult was pretty bleak.

  most of the adult women i knew were either depressed sad women or an embarrassment to me.

  i was typical kid in that regard.

  A few weeks ago I made a flippant off-hand comment about how I would never wear a Kleenex to cover my head and I just started crying.
  

  We use humor to cope with all the nonsense we grew up with, but some things just trigger that trauma and unravels how we really feel/felt.

  Thank you for sharing. Seeing a woman with a Kleenex on her head conducting a study is quite a site, though. For the unaware outsider it's a WTF moment.

  Not fond of if scenarios, but I choose to contribute to this one.

  I'm not well versed in the matter, but I know there is standard documentation for volunteer work that applies to people in Bethel (as I recall hearing from a former Bethelite, I may have heard wrong). It's like people who join the Peace Corps, and they can use their work in the Wt as professional experience.

  Skills don't just dissapear.

  Signing Away Your Hard Earned Cash

  reading the meeting workbook study for this week to see what my family will be reading at their meeting, once again they are asking for members for generous gifts not only from money they earn but also part of any investments they may have and making future arrangements for them to inherit after death through their wills.

  take a look at the lower part of the page on this link, its awful!

  JWs - Liberals or Conservatives?

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  where they stand is a strange mixture.

  yes, they don't agree with abortion and homosexuality, they believe in the bible and wear skirts and ties to church .

  but in many ways they're liberal.

  This conservative-liberal bullshit gets on my nerves.

  I am neither. That thing causes so much unnecessary divisiveness. At the end of the day, we all have our own individual sets of vales and principles. Many of mine coincide with both conservative and liberal. I am me, not something that some people decide I'm supposed to be. I believe in what I believe because I choose to, not because liberals are this or conservatives do that.
