  if you are a new person to the board you might want to send scully a pm thanking her for her hard work and dedication.

  the boe project owes her for helping it to get started.. example:.

  several years ago there was a website called (dirtclod.com) who had the courage to display the boes right out in front of everybody.

  a brother from vancouver told me the GB would often visit their conventions quite often. of course, we never, ever saw them in the middle of nowhere in Winnipeg or Alberta

  I can see why they would gravitate to Vancouver as a stopover to Hawaii. I always remember Lloyd Barry dropping dead on a stage at an assembly in Hawaii. (just dessert for a man that was instrumental in the death of the Malawi brothers.

  felt really bad for the couple(s) that went up to Baker Lake preach

  I know those couples personally. They were not too happy going to Nunuvut. They are surviving on supplies their families are sending them.

  today, an old jw friend came to visit a member of my family who is still active.

  i saw them leave together to run errands.

  when they left, she didn't say hi and barely looked at me.. after taking care of my cores around the house, i noticed that the sister had forgot to turn off the head lights of her car.

  Also, I believe a lot were expecting a governing body member. But Canada is not exciting enough for the magnificent 7. They would rather to go a tropical and exotic places. The only governing body member I ever remember coming to Canada was Freddy Franz way back in the early 1980's.

  Richard_I, I am so impressed with you my friend! That you even remembered all you did. I couldn't remember a thing. That brother Bunn was so monotone this is what I heard for 2 hours:

  Chronic relapse - what do I do?

  by wayoutthere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my first post here and unfortunately it is asking for help.. i was a born in jehovah's witness and from my earliest memories, i know i hated being one.

  i hated the embarrassment of being the "outsider" at school and i hated not being allowed to have any friends.

  of course i had the obligatory friends in the kingdom hall - none of whom were my age exactly and none of whom i would have personally chosen to be friends with if i had been left to pick them myself in a natural setting.

  It sounds a little irrational, but then again you were traumatized being in this religion. It's an obvious unresolved issue with you, one that you haven't met head on.

  A therapist may help you put things in their right prospective, so that you can move on from this.

  JW Rumspringa

  by SonoftheTrinity in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  are jehovah's witnesses on their way to practicing amish style rumspringa?

  basically pushing young people out into the world and seeing who comes back with their faith intact.

  after so many generations of discouraging education, it seems like an easy way to ensure that there are some educated born-ins.

  They don't have to push the young ones into a "rumpspringa". There is a lot of freedom among the witness teenagers these days. The kids are doing whatever they want. There are always parties, they travel (under the guise of going where the need is great), they go to their proms, they are getting paired up and dating very young and unchaperoned and no one says a thing.

  When I was was growing up, there were so many rules, we literally choked and many in my age group left once they had the chance.

  If the meetings are SO valuable and vital, why do witnesses love having a day off from them?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  have you noticed how happy witnesses are when they have a change in meeting schedules, so that a meeting is missed?.

  eg, the week of an assembly, the midweek meeting is not held, and they all say "oh it will be nice to have a night off".. or if a public speaker doesn't come for the talk, and the meeting has just the wt study, they all enjoy "an early mark".

  or if they go on holiday, they say "oh we are on holiday, we won't go to the meeting".

  It's so true!! They jump with joy when the meetings are cancelled.

  2. friends

  i read in a european ex jw forum that this year they are making a special effort to invite not only the inactive but also a special effort is made to invite all disfellowshipped.

  .

  i don't know if this as always been a common practice, or something started anew so they can boast about the numbers of attendees..
