however, there arose a third category who did not leave the organization, but brought a new view into their heart: jws are right in their core cause (gods kingdom as the solution to mankinds problems) but may or may not be right in their supplementary teachings, hence are not bothered about changes happening in this unimportant area..

the construction of a new branch will not go ahead

Does this mean that they will still reside at Via della Bufalotta s or are they in the process of selling the bethel and have the work transferred to Seltzer?

Tight pants, colored socks, blue shirts, beards, wire -rimmed glasses...

by Muddy Waters in

tight pants, colored socks, blue shirts, beards, wire -rimmed glasses... .

does anybody remember any thing else that was once or still is proscribed against faithful j-dubs?

when brothers in our kh started wearing different colored shirts rather than white, it caused a great stir and ruckus.

I was in a real conservative congregation and the sisters couldn't wear pants with the front zipper. It looked to much like men's clothing. So I had to wear a lot of pants with elastic waist. I looked like a clown.

Letter to be read at meeting this week about the downsize

by dropoffyourkeylee in

a family member who is a bethelite informed me today that there is a letter to be read soon ( this week or next) concerning the downsizing.

so probably someone who has their midweek meeting early in the week will be able to fill in the details.

I will make sure I go to the meeting this week and hopefully hear this letter.

Retirement Planning for ex-JW's

by Simon in

this is something i think about a lot, possibly because i'm just getting older.

it seems that not only should i finally one day decide what i want to do with my life, but i should also be planning for retirement.. hands up everyone who feels their future has been royally screwed by the wts experience?.

if you were a good jw and followed the wts advice you could well be finding yourself facing middle or even old age without much or anything put aside in retirement savings.

Thank you Simon for starting this very educational and necessary topic as many of us are at the age where we are starting to think retirement.
