  Can You Spot A Jehovah's Witness???

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  are you able to tell if someone is a jw just by looking or listening to a person?

  what are the give away signs that make you just know that they're a witness?

  I have this incredible knack for spotting them, I call it my Dub-dar, kinda like radar.

  Back during the Christmas season, I was in the dollar store, and for some reason the cashier reminded so much of a JW, I cant really explain it, other than she had this somber, distant look on her face. I kinda wanted to test her just to see. I figured I could ask her how her Christmas shopping was going or something to that effect, but I didnt. Now I dont see her there anymore and wonder if she has quit her job. She had this young JW Pioneer look, Now I may never know if she was one or not.

  Also back about 3 weeks ago we were on our way up through Kentucky to my uncle's funeral and we stopped at a gas station. As I was coming back to the car after paying, I noticed a lincoln continental pulled into the parking lot and there were 3 men and a women all dressed up wearing their trenchcoats etc etc etc, and this was on a saturday morning around 10:30 am. I just knew they were witnesses as people in that part of that part of the state seldom dress up and wear suits and ties.Well they parked, got out, and went into the arbys reataurant that was located inside the gas station. I went in and walked through the restaurant hoping to hear some of their conversation, but I didnt have much time, so I had to leave. Im convinced they were JW's and if only I had more time that day I would have stayed around and toyed with them for a little bit. I could have ordered some food and sat close by and see if they try to witness to me. When I got back to the car I told Amanda, "I can almost bet they were witnesses"

I realize that there arent many Witnesses in Eastern Kentucky, let alone Ex-JW's, but it would be so cool to meet up with people from my old stomping ground. Come on everybody, step up to the plate and be counted. If I receive any responses here I will try to reply back by monday, as my home terminal cant fully access this site.

  After my Mom and Dad divorced, Mom and Grandma would hold for us a wrap-up party, complete with a superhero cake and candles. They would also wrap presents for us in non-holiday wrapping paper, and there would also be noisemakers and sparklers sometimes too. Thats one of the main reasons that I still love my grandma dearly despite her constant defending of the Watchtower. Her and Mom both realized how hard it was for children growing up as witnesses and they tried to make it easier for us so we wouldnt feel excluded. My Dad on the other hand was the real hardnosed, brainwashed JW and never agreed with the concept of those parties. My Dad also was one of those witnesses who always said "we dont need a special occasion to give gifts, we give gifts all year" I think my Dad bought us 3 toys the whole time we were growing up, not to mention the fact that he skipped child support quite frequently.

  personnally, what upset me the most is all the wasted time.

  Well I basically failed to plan for the future, because there wasnt supposed to be no future. I guess the thing that bothers me the most is all of the anxiety and depression I suffered as a child, and for what? a Lie!! I was a very intelligent and ambitious child up until about age 7, when I started paying attention to what was being taught, and from then on I was extremely depressed and withdrawn.No child should ever have to experience what I went through, and my goal is to expose the WT Society every chance I get.

  JWD flyers on cars at KH's

  by ko38 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  what if we all printed up some flyers advertising ..........seek the truth about the truth.go to jw.com for the answers to questions youv'e had or may have.read articles from the watchtower that the society hopes you will never find.. could we legaly put those on their windshields during a meeting?im sure we could do it at least once,and then if asked to leave comply with their wishes.its a well nown fact that out of 100 or 1000 or 100,000 that some will take the bait and check it out just due to human curiousity.. if we all started using the same informal preaching as them such as dropping flyers at laundry mats and phone booths and grociery stores etc you would think it would catch on.i havent counted all the members of this board and how many countries are represented but it sure looks like a lot to me.. what do you guys and gals think?..............ken

  i think we should all wish the gb a very merry christmas.

  i'm sure many will be able to find the "appropriate" greetings for those who direct and inspect the "spiritual slop" before feeding it to rank and file.

  My wife and I passed by a Kingdom Hall on the way up to Kentucky this morning, and we both burst out laughing and said "Merry Christmas Kingdom Hall"

  We pass by this KH everyday to take her to work and one of us will always say "look there's the kiiiiiiingdom hall"

  Is it better to bottle up your feelings?

  by Nancy Drake in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you ever have feelings you wish you didn't have?

  people always say you shouldn't bottle up your emotions, that it's not healthy.. but if you think it's wrong to feel a certain way...(ex.

  jealous, anxious), isn't it better to swallow it into your stomach so no one gets hurt?

  No its not healthy, I had bottled up so much of my feelings towards this cult that it has nearly destroyed me, but I finally woke up and decided to do something about it by picketing and leaving anti-jw leaflets anywhere i can, and I feel so much better to let it all air out, speaking out against something is one of the greatest powers you can experience, silence breeds nothing but emotional destruction.
