Weird rumor I heard - JWs in Sweden
by sir82 in
1. jw
2. friends
i heard this from a "friend of a friend of a friend...." at least 3 or 4 intermediate steps before i heard it.. so it is likely distorted, but i'll throw it out there in case someone in or near sweden can clarify it.. .

i heard that the wts branch in sweden instructed all jws there to "get rid of" all (empahasized all) of their printed literature, and rely exclusively on the content of jw.org for their literature.. .

that's the entire extent of it - i also got a few speculations about "what it might mean" (the society is expecting persecution!

by spirituk in
1. social
2. relationships
ok ,so this is my story , this jw girl came on vacation in my country as a friend of my girl-cousin who is not a jw but were classmates at uni .

my cousin introduced her to me but she didnt tell me that she was a jw from the very first moment we flirt each other.we went on beach ,on bars ,cafes etc and she acted so wordly ,in fact i thought she could be a good one night stand with her behaviour .never saw anything weird about her that could lead me to question something, with the peak in the club where we danced together while hugging very passionatly .

i tried to kiss her that night but she kept her distance , i didnt notice any bad on that.anyway, next day we flirt again at the the beach and at night too .

Back in the fold
by mariu in
1. jw
2. experiences
a few months ago, one of my best friends from uni times told me that his girlfriend of something like 20 years was leaving him.

she can't live with a non-believer...she wants to be a baptised jw.. i couldn't believe this crap is happening again.

turns out she grew up in a jw family, but parents separated when she was about 8 years or so.
