i work about a block from the local kh and i notice there was no jw.org sign on it.
i said to my wife are they not following the cults rules on this.
will just yesterday as i was driving home from work there it was on the corner of the kh sign jw.org it was about 1 foot x 1 foot in size.
OTWO, you made me laugh....burning eyes.... I remember how we used to get excited when seeing an assembly hall off the interstate, as if it was just soooooo special! Now I avoid even glancing at the local halls I happen to drive by.
I did recently manage to see one when turning into a driveway, and there was no jdubOrg sign anywhere in sight. Made me smile!
hi guys and gals,.
i am a hypocryte.
brought up in the "truth" but know its not.
Nugget and CantbutDidleave are truly an inspiration!
It would be great to see a list of all the ones on JWN who have kindly assisted their beloved family members and friends to see TTATT.
lol they keep saying that this is truly satans system and all that crap.how people in the world are so judgemental and crazy.. anyone else getting sick of this?.

I'm going with...Human. My favorite race!

Perhaps they could just use some of dance programs worked up to "entertain" the attendees of the international conventions?
probably a dumb question, but what is the proper way to write "...in jehovah's witness literature.
"...in jehovah's witness' literature.".
"...in the literature of jehovah's witnesses.".
In the literature of Jehovah's Witnesses, you will find many fabrications, fairy tales, and outright lies.
The literature of Jehovah's Witnesses now comes in handy smaller packets which are perfect for use in the camp latrine.
you"re now the "unbelieving mate" who is now pursuing your degree just before your mid-life crisis hits because until you woke up to the tatt, you bought into the whole "you'll never grow older in this system of things...".
you're watching your parents grow old fully-invested.... your spouse still invested because "there is no better alternative....".
your in-laws still won't come over tomorrow (thanksgiviing day) to eat turkey because it might just look like.... just when you think you're past it all and you feel that little bit of jw that is still there at your core eventhough you think you're beyond jwism..... and you remember and empathize and love your loved ones just a little bit more... because as of yet, they cannot find it in them to distance themselves from somethign you found limiting, closing, dark, and oppressive.. may they all find their freedom one day.
((((Phae)))) we've missed you! And while I can relate to your sense of isolation (also living with a dear family member who is fully invested), please remember that we are here for you and love you. Sending lots of positive energy your way on this thankful day.
i'd just like to tell everyone in the us (and world), "happy thanksgiving!".
in many ways, the posters here understand me better than anyone else on this planet.
you all have helped me tremendously.
Happy Sunny Thanksgiving to you too, Skeeter! Peace and quiet on a sunny Florida day...nothing quite like it. What's more fun than cooking a turkey? Having free time to be on JWN!
JWN is high on the list of things to be thankful for today.
my mom tells me last night that she and 'the group' is going out tomorrow.
[ god, she cant talk about anything else but her 'freinds'].
omg why????
We used to be told by the elders that there would be special arrangements for a few hours on the _____ holiday and we were to meet at the hall at 10am. The plan was always to visit those new to the cong who were spending their first holiday without the "worldly" trappings -- never to go door-to-door.
Apparently the "special arrangements" were for all the elders to stay home.
i work for a mental health unit with 2 police officers we deal with people who have drug and mental health issues.
at times over the last 10 years we have "taken down" some large drug affected men, mainly "ice" these days which is epidemic here, and let me tell you even with three of us it is a huge struggle.
sometimes back up is needed or mace spray which is aweful stuff!
Apog, that sounds like a great solution except that sooooooo many people the cops come in contact with have guns already. The NRA has seen to it that the laws intended to support state and local militias back in colonial days have been twisted to support massive gun ownership in the US. Because, of course, the right to bear arms means that any local yokel should be allowed to have a semi-automatic weapon in his possession at all times.
many jws enjoy turkey on thanksgiving day and are often discreet about their indulgences.
why be two faced?
why try to excuse it?.
My favorite jdubs were the ones who talked trash about other dubs eating a thanksgiving meal on Thursday (thus celebrating the "holiday"). The trash talkers then hypcritically did the same thing on Friday. Friday was not really celebrating, even if you had your family over to eat turkey, stuffing, cranberries, sweet and mashed potatoes, gravy, pumpkin pies, and all your other favorite holiday foods. THAT makes sense, right?
