Exactly where I am living, Northwest Arkansas, United States. For the most part we have fairly mild winters, and hardly any snow.

Stupid armageddon false alarms
by purrpurr inwhen i was 5/6 i remember being in the car with my jw mom and a jw sister.
they noticed a yellow ish glowing cloud in the sky which really freaked them out and they both declared that it must be a sign that armageddon was here!
they then spent the whole car trip declaring that the police and army were about to come and round up all of us.

There were too many for me to count. But here are a few that really stuck out in my memory.
An older sister who claimed to be of the anointed said these words to me, "If we knew how close we were to the end we would just die of a heart attack."
Several brothers from the stage (different talks) would say, "We are in the final seconds of the last hours."
But the biggest confirmation was when George Bush said in a speech at the UN, "Today we declare peace and security."

I agree with Simon on this. When you do talk with her, make sure you keep your emotions in check and keep things calm.

KEEP BUSY DURING THE LAST OF "THE LAST DAYS"And if they are still around in 2069 (I'll be a hundred at that time; if I'm still around). They will still be saying the same line of bull to a whole bunch of new folk. I just hope the Watchtower falls before then.

When was it time for you to walk away from your congregation meetings and the WTBTS?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthe basic virtue for a human being is to be true to yourself – the integrity of thought, emotion, and action.. .
ten years ago ( after 32 years as a jehovah's witness), i finally decided that my own mental sanity and being true to myself was more important than attending congregation meetings and serving the watchtower society.
i stopped (years before) field service, the ministry school, answering at the watchtower studies, missed numerous meetings and walked in minutes before the meetings started and left after the closing prayer, i knew it was time to leave.

For me, it was the summer, just before the district convention in 2001, that something happened that made me finally wake up. There was a scripture in Deuteronomy 18 that I came across about false prophets. Something clicked in my mind about that and the 1975 lie that sucked my mother in and dragging along a little girl (myself) who had just lost her older sister. This, in turn, made me want to know how much more bull corn I had been force-fed over the years as a JW. Three months after my last meeting, I sent in my DA letter. I wanted nothing more to do with the Watchtower and its filth. I was so thankful that I left when my children were still little and the Watchtower hadn't yet got their claws into them.

Getting beaned in the head by a rock inside a snowball is not fun. A few years back my hubby thew a snowball at me, didn't know there was a rock in it. Let's just say I landed on my back and I was seeing stars for a while.

Have you heard of a Jehovah's Witness on federal SSDI disability Pioneering ? How common is this ?

I knew one guy who was a pioneer and was on full disability. Eventually, he ended up getting married, and who he got his disability from told him that he was going to lose all of it because his wife can now support him. But his wife, who had her own job, by the way, said no. She was not getting married to a guy just to support his @$$ (her words). He ended up working, it was that or not eating, losing his wife, and being homeless. lol

Do your JW relatives still talk to you?
No
Are you now not very close?
Not anymore, but they are toxic people so good riddance.
Are you avoided?
Yes, but as far as I'm concerned they can stay far far away. I'm done with their mind games.
