One cute canadian sister

by thomyorke in

i like her videos about self-injury and other mental and physical problems, that could happened to young people.... she say that she is an active jw and regularly visit the meetings and go to service.. http://www.youtube.com/user/idranktheseawater.

but... what can you say about her wearing and hair style?.

it's cool, but it's "non-spiritual" style, not for "true" jw, isn't it ?!

it is gossip, and not right, but I don't think anyone wanted to hurt you, so I would not take it personally.

I think one thing we have to remember is that most of us were at one point JWs. What do JWs do? They gossip about each other in the Kingdom Hall. They're trained to do so with labels such as "Sister Harlot is spiritually weak", "Brother Wanker is inactive" or "Sister Shortskirt is bad association". They're conditioned to compare themselves to others, measuring how spiritually strong they are to others in the congregation and how likely they'll be to survive armageddon.

The ones who compare themselves are competitive, and the ones who fall under those categories are the ones who could use a non-jw or an ex-jw to let them know that whatever's keeping them away from the meetings is justified.

Only if you take a picture. You'll want to remember that one forever. After all, it is your request ;)

Niece: I'm too young to date!

my 20 year old niece and my mom are the only jw relatives i have.

her mom got kicked out for smoking and my brother ended the marriage because she was a bitch anyway.. but it's really unfortunate that my niece had to be dragged into the jws.

i really wish my brother would have put the brakes on it more.

I personally think everyone knows who they are, but they don't know how to become who they want to be. I honestly think that's just a band-aid to cover the whole "Jehovah's Witnesses are not allowed to date until they are mature" statement. If she writes that, it looks bad to all her worldly friends. By writing what she wrote, it makes her look bright and intelligent, and the responses all stroke her ego. It makes me want to puke. She truly doesn't know anything :(

I don't swing that way either, but I like the attention. C'mon Vidiot, one little kiss won't hurt ;)

OMG, they couldn't get someone who speaks normal English to translate the sign language? I Felt like I was listening to someone offer me accidental death & dismemberment coverage on my credit card.

I like how everyone here is kissing her butt now. I wish you'd all do that to me. I'll go away again and you can all insult me. My butt could use the lovin' :D

I use invisible hairspray to keep my hair spiritually sound.

But it's really unfortunate that my niece had to be dragged into the JWs. I really wish my brother would have put the brakes on it more. Now I'm butting heads with her. This facebook post royally pissed me off. If I would have been able to date more during my younger years, I probably would have been smarter than to marry the woman who is now my stupid ex-wife.

Anyway, here's the post...

I've often been presented with either the question or the comment of me not being in a boyfriend girlfriend relationship. I'm sure it's nice and all but really for me I for 1 am to young. 2 I'm not ready. And 3, just because other people have relationships does not me I have to be in one haha I have very happy on my own thank you many studies have proven that it's actually much easier on your own. I could go on and on but dating is really looking for a marriage mate and that is a HUGE decision in your life, but there is no law to have to be married or be in that kind of relationship. How could I find that special someone to spend the rest of my life with when I haven't even fully figured out who I am yet?? Who knows maybe one day he will come along and sweep me off my feet. But I already have so many friends and family who love me and I love them we might feel alone sometimes but we really never are. There is so much more in life than just worrying about a relationship. Explore new things, go on adventures, the possibilities are endless for those who are married, I admire your devotion to have such a bond with each other and have that soul mate to be a part of your life as one. Keep smiling

Hey were is my post about my post count dropping....its been removed...and now my post count is still dropping

by yadda yadda 2 in

i posted an enquiry why my post count has remained at 1810 for days and now its dropped even more to 1801????.

what's going on please simon?

if your forum has glitches and bugs can you please let us know..

Nosferatu

Oh, and the reason the post count drops is if I remove any topic you started on or replied to. Nothing 'suspicious'

Oh, you mean like when the WTS removes or alters stuff in their old publications. Got it! ;)

Your views and ideas on forum areas and organization?

by Simon in

this may come as a shock to some people, but the current forum structure was kind of thrown together without much real thought and then evolved a bit over time.

there are a few things that particularly grate on me and areas where i don't think the subjects work particularly well.

'friends' is a bit vague and becomes a dumping ground, news & world events vs politics & current affairs is hard to decide sometimes, child abuse is a scandal but isn't contained withing 'scandals & coverups' etc.... with a new forum platform imminent, it's a good time to solicit ideas to improve things.

Nosferatu

Is there still a "best of" section? I vote that there be a section where incredibly interesting and/or noteworthy topics be moved.
