  has anyone noticed lately the emphasis on elders..

  by surferdude in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in particular it seems like every wt for the past year or so has a section or a paragraph pumping up the elders.

  or talking about them being "gifts in men"?

  or like the part on the service meeting this week, interviewing an elder and making him seem better or different from the rest of the cong.

  Comming Out Of The Apostate Closet

  by ColdRedRain in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i finally have the courage to come out of the apostate closet with my extended family and my old family friends.

  i thought that day would never come, but i just got the courage today.

  what ironically inspired me was a kingdom hall.

  Watch your language boy/girl

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when we were in the org, we had to watch our language, and speak correctly and never swear.

  people knew we were jw's just by the way we dressed, but also by the way we talked.

  do you still talk in the same polite way as before?edited by - jh on 4 february 2003 19:29:28.

  Is the GB and FDS the same thing?

  by William Penwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this may have come up before in discussion so my apologies if it old stuff.

  interesting point that the district overseer seemed to make a distinction between the governing body and the faithful and discreet slave class.

  when i was growing up it was always the same thing.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was thinking about this the other day.

  the society likes to call all those who follow their teachings "sheep" or "sheep like ones".

  Any XJWs in SE TEXAS?

  by Auntie Flame in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm seeking to connect with anyone in southeast texas to mideast texas area that's disf'd or disa'd

  it's always good to find others who understand where we've been without having to explain or rehash everything we've done or said that may seem eccentric to someone who hasn't "been there" .

  it would be nice to meet others with an "in common" background and enough chutzpah to leave the xjw baggage in the closet most of the time.
