Funny, when I was a high school teacher no jws asked me to help their kids with assignments or tutor them...shows that the free stuff expectation doesn't apply to important things.

poll, why would you hide it your buisness/job
by sowhatnow inhow many people on here who were or are jws, owned or ran a buisness who would not willingly let people at the k hall know, maybe to avoid feeling like you had to give your fellow brothers and sisters a discount, or free help, or out of fear of being judged.
did you only help out the pioneers?
and not the poor ones?

I received my invite to the convention today.
by smiddy ina lone guy casually dressed with no tie knocked on the door and my son took him for a salesman , didnt answer the door and he soon left , he also noticed he put something in our letterbox as he left.. checking it out it was a flyer for the jehovahs witness convention which is a good 4-4 and a half hour drive from here where i live.. do they honestly think a householder who lives close to 4-5 hours away is going to go to a religous convention , when they have continously rejected the message in their own home town ?.
ok , so they are thinking , its advertising the convention to a far wider community in the state..... excuse me ?.
this particular convention is being held at etihad stadium in melbourne in oct.what has happened in previous conventions around australia , newspapers print special edditions to assemblys covering such conventions , however the rest of the state gets zero exposure to the assembly.. however the gullible rank and file think what a grand witness has been given with all this publicity .

wtf jwdaughter? That sounds racist against my pepole. We are a fully developed western country.
@Smiddy, I would be interested to know if they will give those invites out all over Australia. That would truly prove that it's just pointless busywork. Like anyone would travel from somewhere like Mt Isa for a cult meeting! Even diehard Jws would find that challenging

What happy, wonderful thing happened to you since you left the "truth"?
by Jeannette inmore than one thing for me, but i have learned to enjoy festivals, and just enjoying free time.
it's not that the org wouldn't allow it, i just felt i shouldn't.
there are others, of course, and i really have been happier and good things have come my way since i left.

Today's WT study!. Watch out for the "wicked" in the cong!
by stuckinarut2 inhow strange today's study was!.
warning examples of apostacy, and saying to all witnesses "watch for bad associations in the cong".
talk about paranoia and distrust amongst themselves!.

The Facebook group "Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Songs" which is an apostate group which ironically full of Nigerian JWs has been going nuts with this stuff. The active JWs have been quoting it at us apostates since yesterday. It's really sinking in for these guys. Watch to see how many more of you who are just inactive or fading be shunned.

None needed. It goes both ways. Only I could not create am androgynous character because one does not exist. Women jws can be just as bad. I did not mean to rag on men but jws and their hypocrisy.

How many of you followed the WTS direction on education years ago and have been screwed by it?
by Julia Orwell ini'm really interested in this question because i've heard for years that if you forgo further education and go pioneering, when you have a family down the track you will get a good job because jehovah will provide for you because you pioneered.
as long as i was a kool-aid drinker, even then, i thought, "how does pioneering pay your bills?
surely education should come first.

It is reprehensible. Even when I was a Jw I was sickened by their education bashing. I would tell the kids to get educated and then pioneer if they wanted to. As I would tell the kids: pioneering doesn't pay the bills.

The problem was not with the gender per se but with the fact that she had to be quiet while she was being abused. It draws on the knowledge that the JWs have of pioneers, that they are exemplary Christians, but she finds out he is not what he appears to be. She could never have known at that age...definitely not an attack on the male gender. Only as female, I best write from a woman's perspective.
Blondie, yes I am Sheree Stokell. We probably already know each other on Facebook! I used to hide my identity, but 1) I trust y'all not to out me; and 2) I don't care anymore if I am outed. I have no more ties with the cult.

That's great!! We have a huge push to get kids educated here in Australia, to the point where they leave school with a business certificate or half an apprenticeship if they aren't going to uni. I bet the JWs hate all the emphasis our schools put on preparing the kids for the workforce.

Very myopic if you look at the big picture, but wise if you are prone to sweat the petty things.
