Yes, many fake hours, and don’t forget the PIMO’s who cheat. At the end of my “preaching”, I couldn’t stomach more than 1 hour a month, and I used that hour dropping magazines in laundromats. I was so depressed, I did not want to convert anyone, why should they be miserable like me?

Christmas, yes or no ?

by jhine in

i have just started to steep the mincemeat for my mince pies in dark rum .

christmas is a big deal in my family and circle of friends.

however among ex jws it's a bit different or so l understand.

I love Christmas! I couldn’t wait to celebrate when I left. I’m married to a Polish Catholic guy, and we have our traditions. Now that I’m retired, I have more time to bake. It was very important to me to make traditions for our family, since I didn’t grow up with any. We always let our daughter open 1 gift on Christmas Eve, it was usually pajamas. We set up a tree, have gifts, watch Christmas movies, and have a big feast on Christmas Day with family. While the kids are little, we remember to have a small cake and sing Happy Birthday to Jesus. Jesus is the Reason for the Season! Take that, Watchtower! I love Christmas!

List of Things We Were NOT Allowed To Do as JW's

by Sea Breeze in

friends

here's my list of jw no-no's as i recall: .

1. no giving or accepting valentine candy for students.

2. no going to home coming football games.

I like Punky’s list! But Seabreeze’s is spot on, too. A teacher wrote a note in my report card in first grade, recommending that I join the Girl Scouts. She said it would help me to socialize and be part of the other girls. My parents, of course, mocked her suggestion and ignored it. 😢

Newtons prediction for end of the world

by dothemath in

maybe this man (sir isaac newton), has more credibility than fred franz in picking a date for armageddon ?.

interestingly, newton(brilliant mathematician, everyone must know him) was very interested in the bible and revelation .. .

what newton tried to do was determine a particular timescale for the apocalypse.
