  Telephone Canvassing, What A Cheek!

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm being hassled by american companies tele-canvassing me from across the pond!

  i'm registered with the uk telephone preference service which theoretically stops unwanted canvassing calls.

  also, my caller display reveals whether or not a person is witholding their telephone number.

  Hi, my introduction.....finally.

  by MonkeyPrincess in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have been reading posts for a while, but everytime i try and post my intro, i dont know what to say, so i suppose i will just write what comes to me.

  lets see, i was born and raised in the "truth", i have never known anything else my whole life, so this is weird for me to think differently.

  i was df'd about 4 years ago when i met my "worldly" husband, i have tried for the past 2 years to be reinstated, but i guess that i have not tried hard enough, according to the elders (who btw have not been very nice or loving toward me).

  Are There Things You Didn't Understand About JW's Until AFTER Baptism?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the things the society prides itself over is that jw's are not only preachers but also teachers.

  jw's are told that they have the "best education in the world".

  jw's are taught for a number of months before they are allowed to get baptized.

  2. friends

  as i was growing up in the troof.

  there were sayings used over and over again to control my behaviour.

  the biblical on bad associations spoil useful habits and another on just because everyone else does it doesnt mean you have to do it to, would you jump off a cliff just because other people do what were the sayings that bugged you?

  How old were you when you got Baptised?

  by El Kabong in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was 13 at the time.

  i wanted to get baptised before the end came in 1975. .

  back then, 13 was borderline young for baptism, but from what i've been reading, some are now getting baptised as young as 9 or 10. .

  Do the Elders know about this?

  by meadow77 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  what kind of an example are we setting for young witness girls regarding modesty?

  i personally think she looks nice, although maybe she should try for some darker colors; but because of her jw affiliation, it justs makes one stagger at the double standards.
