How Do We Help JWs Who Come To This Site?
by minimus inwhen a witness checks this site out, they could think it's a jehovah's witness friendly site.
the fact is this site is for anyone interested in jehovah's witness things, whether they are still witnesses or once were or just want to know about witness life.. what positive ways can we help a witness on this site?.

Circuit Assembly This Past Weekend "Safeguard Your Spirituality" -Everyone Please Enter-
by tryingtoexit inso we had our circuit assembly this past weekend, and it was the first one in my life that i told my wife i would not be attending.
we had a brief conversation on why, and she said well just go to this last one with me, and then when we can discuss what we learn and compare it to why you've been expressing your "new" feelings towards the wts.. i love my wife, and as much as i thought i was gonna hate it i decided to go.
now that i no longer want to be a jehovah's witness it really didnt bother me that nobody hardly talked to me despite me living in this same area for 4 1/2 years, everybody views me as spiritually weak because i dont go out in service, rarely attend meetings, dont comment, lesson is never underlined, so the "friends" never interact with me anyway and i'm use to it, actually that's the way i prefer it.

In regards to the statement about Social Networking; It all comes down to control. What would the WT$ be if they did not have control. Isolation is very important when maintaining control. The more isolated you can make a group the easier it is to maintain control (information, behavior, creative outlets and support).

Cola at the District Convention
by lepermessiah inremember some of the garbage served at the district conventions?.
i was at the dollar store today and noticed they started carrying "shasta" cola.. i started laughing because they used to serve that skunk water at the district conventions when i was a kid.. they always brought in the cheapest, nastiest soda they could buy.. one year we had something called vess cola - that was actually worse than the shasta!
then, they ran out on sunday and had to buy pepsi from the local distributor - we were all rejoicing!!.

Don't get hit? Barring that try not to have the minimal amount of skin exposed. A good solid hit will raise a welt the size of a marble, leave a bruise the size of a silver dollar that gradually fades to yellow.
Have fun, it can be a big adrenaline rush.

Mouthy's 80th Birthday ---- Thanks to all
by gusgus1 ingreat big thanks to all who participated in my mother's 80th birthday.... it was great, and she was trhilled..... she had a smile on her face the whole day long.... so many showed up to celebrate, and those that couldn't shared by phone calls, cards, flowers and gifts.
the memory album i put together for her turned out great, so thanks to so many who sent me a page to put in, it's a memory she'll have forever.... all her children and grandchildren were there, except for the ones in montreal who are still jw's.. .
thank-you to all, a million times.

As a JW Were You or Someone you Knew Falsely Accused by Elders ?
by flipper inthought i'd put this out there to see if you knew of people in the jehovah's witnesses who were falsely accused or mistreated by the " police " or elders in the congregation.
many times it's been by experiencing injustices that get us to get shaken out of our cult thinking mode and reality kicks in and the scales fall from our eyes that the wt society is just a man made organization whose leaders are no better than us - actually in many cases more unscrupulous and conniving than any of us would have ever been to each other !
i was falsely accused 2 times .

What Things Were YOU Counseled For?
by minimus inelders love to counsel people.
it feeds their ego.
over the years, you must've been counseled on different things.. when i was almost of age to become a ms, an elder counseled me for my "lack of seriousness".

That particular elder mentioned in a "special needs talk" that some sisters like to show off their nice legs, pedicure, ankle bracelets, by wearing certain styles of sandals.
I knew he was talking about me.
He then said that nylon stockings and dress shoes were the only appropriate attire when appearing at Jehovah's table.

You should have shown up in only those two items the next meeting. ;-)

To Angel Eyes & Other WT Apologists
by snowbird init has come to my attention that a much-beloved poster on this forum has been hurt by the insensitivity shown toward her account of how badly she was treated by the wt.. i realize this is a place where are all welcome, and barring any posting guidelines violations, we are free to air our views without fear of any backlash.. however, please keep in mind that most posters here - yours truly being one of them - view the wt in a negative light.
with all the evidence out there pertaining to its deceitfulness, how can anyone view it otherwise?.
i reached out to you, angel eyes, because i sense that you need a friend.

Mouthy,
I can't take credit for that, its an old Everly Brothers song.
But I do know that is how many of us here at the orphanage feel about you.

An old rocking chair
Setting alone in an old rocking chair I saw an old mother with silvery hair She seemed so neglected by those who still care Rocking alone in an old rocking chair Her hands were all calloused wrinkled and old A life of hardwork was the story they told And I thought of angels as I saw here there Rocking alone in an old rocking chair Bless her old heart do you think she'd complain Life has been bitter tho' she'd live it again And carry the cress that is more than her share Rocking alone in an old rocking chair It wouldn't take much to gladden her heart Just some small remembverance on somebody's part A letter would bringten her empty life there Rocking alone in an old rocking chair I know some youngster's in an old orphan's home Who'd think they owned Heaven if she was their own They'd never be willing to let her sit there Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
