  At least he felt it thoughtful enough to let those know what he was doing.
  Could this be interpreted as a plea for help? If it is, those of you who
  know him please intervene. I don't know the man to really make that assessment.
  At any rate, take care and hope you can find peace of mind.

  How I see it in JW land

  by tornapart in

  they're tired... sooooo soooo tired.

  they know it's all wrong but they keep telling themselves how wonderful it is.

  almost as if they are trying to convince themselves.

  I have or had a friend who is a JW. Some time early this year I believe, she made a comment to me how small the content was in one of her magazines. She said something like; " Look, this is all that's in here this month. I wonder why it's so small? " She paused and looked bewildered for a moment.

  I said nothing at that instant because I didn't want to ruin a potential "awakening moment" for her. But it made me see that she does have a mind of her own and able to reach to the surface for a breath, before diving back under water. She seemed able to question or see things that didn't look right. Little things as they may be, it gave me a small glimmer of hope for her.

  my niece is on fb.

  she's a very creative and lovely person, but she's the only other family member i have who's a jw.

  her mother got booted out for smoking, and her brother just seems to know it's a bunch of crap.. on fb, i posted a funny status update that went something like this: "my mother brought me up and hoped that i would grow into a career that would fulfill her dreams.

  by El_Guapo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for years, i was told this..... " anyone who leaves the org is bitter, sad, and worse off, why do you think they come back???

  guess what guys i am the opposite, now i quit cold-turkey (looking back, i should have faded correctly) i am planning on going to the memorial this month just to hear all "the friends" tell me how much they missed me.

  since i have left the meetings, (jan. was my last meeting, i think).

  Anyone noticed a curiosity on the Memorial Invitation for 2013 ?

  by EdenOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i can't scan the memorial invitation for 2013, but i was looking at it today and noticed something curious on the front drawing.. we have jesus as the central figure of the composition.

  to his right and bottom, a large crown, in colour, of shiny happy people of diverse origins.. separated from this by the figure of jesus, is another group, a much smaller one, on the left and as if ascending to the top, and grayed.. clearly portrayed in this group is the face of ct russell and apparently william tyndale.

  but then, also sarah and abraham and other personalities of the ot seem to be represented there.

  I'm turning myself in. Lurking elders, are you listening?

  by Eve Deceived in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i think it's fitting for my very first post to be a thread on jw.net turning myself in to any lurking elders out there on a witch-hunt to cleanse the congregation so that god's choosen ones can "remain in god's love.

  " so i'm sorry to all you awesome, truthful apostates on this site, but this thread is really intended for any lurking nazis -- i mean, the taliban -- ugh, i mean elders of the world's most "loving" cult religion.. i am an apostate.

  here, i'll save you the trouble:.
