  3 years in the making

  thursday while i was at work, a new elder stopped by the house (almost 3 years after fading) to encourage us to go back to meetings.

  said everyone misses us.

  if you did, why not stop by and say hi every now and then?

  Same scenario here. We have good contact with all the JW family. Of course there is an Elephant in the room. But we are happy with it.

  Possible Complaints From WT About JWs Going To Brunches And Going On Vacations

  by HiddlesWife in

  i recently heard from a few pimos and saw on the exjw reddit that the above topic was discussed during a midweek meeting (clam).

  the reddit member mentioned that there were complaints from the branch that too many dubs "were posting too many vacation and brunch pictures [on social media] when that time could have been spent in service!

  if this is reality--and knowing this cultcorporation, i wouldn't be a bit surprised--they are really trying to stop the r&f/ members from enjoying normal human activities.

  Assembly Dramas:They were so bad.... but.... you waited for them to break away from the monotony!

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  you do remember the four day assemblies... sitting outdoors being fried in the sweltering heat,getting heat stroke in the middle of july in an outdoor baseball stadium.sitting outdoors from 9:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. was so much fun while you wore a suit,long sleeve shirt and a tie while your brain fried.

  mom's who had children to take care of,lug strollers,feed all the kids,take them for bathroom breaks and try to not faint from the heat.. the sound and audio was always breaking and barely audible from the wind,airplanes flying over and (if you attended the cicero,illinois circuit )you would smell horse manure from the horse stables next door.. you know that you are a jehovah's witness.... when the only excitement waiting for the drama... where brothers and sisters dress up in ancient cloths,fake beards,fake rocks and fake soldier uniforms and wave their hands incessantly to pretend that they are acting out a drama.the excitement was unbearable!.

  I hated conventions and still do. The crowds, the silly witnesses, the overreacting applause machines, the tired feeling after the break.

  When I was teenager, watching the dumb sisters, stupid, ugly, I knew this was not my plan.

  At 28 I found a very Independed, beauty jw sister and a few years later we faded with much succes.

  Now, children, higher education and a management top position.

  Guys, take the stear in own hands and make a succes of your life!

  today i watched my 1st wt drama video since 30 years ago when i quit as a jw member.

  the strange thing is that i did not choose to start watching this video.

  it was my wife who's never been a witness, who started going over the jw.org site, and came across the new videos.

  JW's do a lot gossip. Did you hear? Brother Bob "did" sister Latoya. And then it came out that Bob did nothing else then steal cash out of the account of Elders insurance corporation.
