i'm curious: what rules have you dealt with that were just "too much" -- whether they were "official" (i.e.
in print) or not?.
i think a good, general one is r-rated movies.
BEING 'advised' NOT TO ATTEND MY MOTHERS' funeral AS IT WAS IN A CHURCH.MY MOTHERS FUNERAL.
BEING TOLD BY CONVENTION TOILET MONITORS THAT I WAS NOT TO FLUSH FOR A PEE; AND HAVING THE DOOR BANGED WITH A FIST TO SHOUT AT ME TO HURRY UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!She nearly got punched.
BEING 'INVITED' TO SAID CONVENTION, THEN IGNORED BY ALL FOR THREE DAYS.
i've been studying with the jw's for about a year now.
i know that by nature (or nurture!
) i have an addictive personality so i have tried to be real careful that i'm doing the right thing by getting involved with them.
Robert, why don't you send a copy of this post to your cong; just to show our new friend how balanced and open the body of elders is?
tonight i was leaving my flat with my brother, when a drunk guy from across the road came over shouting that his freinds apartment was on fire.. my brother and my kicked in the door, and went in to the flaming building three times.
we eventually found him slumped over in a sofa.. i thought we were goners because we got lost on the way out, the smoke had by this time filled the room.. my brother and me dragged him out the door when his collection of half finished whisky bottles and gas lighterc refills exploded.. the only casualty was us with smoke inhalation, and my brothers car keys which fell out of his pocket in the rush.. look in the lisburn star on fridays for my smokey face.
a good day .. josephus

buckingham palace has confirmed that her majesty the queen mother passed away peacefully in her sleep this afternoon.. she was a wonderful lady.
we will miss you ma'am.. farewell.
Very sad from a family point of view; but she was no relation of mine; just spent my taxes on 3,000+ servants; a string of race horses;made her daughter bail her out of her £3,000,000 overdraft; was the only monarch ever to announce when her daughter became queen'you must now address me as Her Majesty The Queen; the Queen Mother'...Two Queens in her title-one more than her daughter! She had strong Nazi sympathies and was incredably racist and rude and foul mouthed... Gawd bless her.Still I guess her family will miss her, condolances to them.
got more information recently.. brooklyn bethel is downsizing , bigtime.. first, they are moving a lot of printing out of brooklyn.
and into "regional" branches, perhaps closer to where.
the material is distributed.
This could all benefit them though;If operations are being downsized due to lack of numbers to support the work, financially or physically, they'll just say that they've nearly finished gathering all the 'workers' and VOILA! more proof that the end is near.Those facts used as 'evidence' will pull in a few more for a few more years...
well, i was tempted but i decided not to go to the most bizarre religious ritual of modern times....how about you?.

invisible man by ralph ellison
THE RED TENT by Anita Diamant.This book is currently blowing me away!A book of womanhood, told through the eyes of Dinah;this book is so richly descriptive it takes your breath away.I have never read something so evocative and moving.Lust,sibling rivalry,infertility, humour,jealously,murder,ambition,betrayal...and so earthily intimate.I have to tell you to get this book-it's incredible!
i have been reading all the stuff i see on this place for a while.
i am a jehovahs witness in good standing in my congregation.
i just need to come on in here and ask for a little advice from anyone who might know what i am feeling.
Hi there you; sorry to hear you're sad- why not try to get her to tell you why she thinks JW's are a cult and any other worries she has?You could research them together, here, using the search facility and show her you are willing to research her fears;it may lead to greater understanding between you ; and maybe even the beginning of a new start. Good Luck! xxx
