JA, great story. Thanks for sharing!
The "experiences" that people share here are so much better than the fake ones on JW programs. Why? Because they are real!

Well another one leaves the Borg.
by John Aquila ini took a quick trip to the store and i happened to see a young man (about 26-28 years old) who got baptized about the same time i was leaving- about 2 years ago.
a couple of pioneer sisters found him in the door to door work.
one of them, a very attractive girl.

Stuck: why do we want to help share the content of the assembly?
Fair question!
As some have commented, it helps if they are fading and/or seeking reinstatement and want to be able to sound like they attended a RC.
For me, I want to know what my "still in" children are being indoctrinated with.

In your opinion: What would a teacher of the English language say about the way Anthony Morris III speaks?
by LogCon inconsidering the language, wording and grammar of anthony morris iii, if a teacher on the english language, at a prestigious university were to analyze anthony's public speaking, what comments and conclusions would they come to?
i say public speaking, because i would assume that an individual would be more careful with their words when spoken in public, than in private.
serious comments would be appreciated, however, i realize that outlaw and a few others are probably on a page of their own.. .

What do you expect from someone that is not very educated and also believes that he is appointed by God to run his "only true religion" on Earth.

No, it's a reference to a Bugs Bunny insult:

Our hall is asking for money...
by thedepressedsoul ini guess the branch isn't happy with the amount being sent each month since we are way lower than our loan amount.
we now have to another financial survey to see the max amount that can be given.
it is "encouraged" for all to be in attendance and give much forethought and consideration to the amount you can donate each month.

Watchtower-Free, thanks for posting the form.
Where are you? I saw a nearly identical form being passed out in a congregation about two years ago. This was in Southern California.
At the time, because of the way the elders presented it, I got the idea that this was a local thing. From what I've read here on JWN since that time it is clear that this is NOT a local thing.
Again, the form the elders passed out nearly two years ago was nearly identical, except the "DESTROY AFTER USE" comment

I only watched a few quick segments here and there. These "speakers" are terrible, so stiff and fake.
And apparently some of them aren't that bright either.
For example, in the part "Lessons from Jesus," Darrin Snyder makes a grammar error that most 3rd graders would know is wrong. Speaking of illustrations @ 52:27" he says:
"There is though, in fact, many, … hundreds of pictures in the Bible."
There IS MANY!
Really?
Apparently "lessons from Jesus" don't include basic grammar or the significance of subject-verb agreement.
What a maroon. -

WT is shorting literature orders by congregation with a problem contributing enough for literature $3500 just for mags
by oppostate inat our meeting last night there was a talk about having run out of magazines for the last three months.
it's expected this will continue to happen.
the "branch" has not sent the requested number of magazines.

Except "inactive" ones aren't going to see this because they won't be there!
This is pure propaganda to make those that remain in the cult feel better about shunning the family members and former friends.

having a dark night of the soul
by Miss Behaving ini'm writing this here because i need someone to talk to, and you're the only folks i know who will understand.
most of the time i think i'm a pretty happy and together person, but lately, i'll see something that reminds me of my family and i'll spontaneously start crying.
i miss them so much and my heart keeps breaking, and even though i have kind people i work and volunteer with, i feel so incredibly lonely sometimes.

Miss B, I feel your pain. With the exception of your hospital experience I have been exactly where you are.
It hurts to lose your family for any reason; it's particularly painful when they self-righteously shun us because of a religious delusion.
My only suggestion is to begin forming new friends. You can and will find people that love you for WHO you are, and not for WHAT you (pretend to) believe.
It gets better.
