  by minimus in

  being an elder, i could talk to df's ones to see how they're doing.

  the wt.

  tells the rank and file that those disfellowsipped are as "dead" in jehovah's eyes.

  At the time No because I was being a model jw. Now I feel bad for those still in that situation who attend meetings.

  Did you always turn in *all* your donation money?

  by asleif_dufansdottir in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i went out in service for the first time at about the same time the "donation arrangement" was put into effect.

  i heard one or two brothers (when they were in 'safe' company) thinking out loud that if the money was really for the "world wide work"...that maybe it would be ok to use some of it, sometimes, to put gas in the car to go out in service (our congregation had some really poor people and our rurals covered 4 or 5 counties and hundreds of square miles).. i was wondering if anyone actually did that?

  i wonder if pioneers who were used to getting a price break kept keeping a percentage??

  Almost all the time, some times I would borrow the money and forget to put it back.

  Courageous, and able to think for myself rather playing the game of following the leader. Its a breath of cold fresh air. I still believe their is a GOD afterall we didn't get here by chance. I just frown at organized religion

  Does Everyone Leave For The Most Noble Of Reasons?

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  some of us left simply because we didn't believe it any more.. some us couldn't stand the hypocrisy.. some of us left so's to have more sex.

  some of us saw another light shining brighter.. some of us wanted more material possessions.. some of us needed more control over others than the borg would allow.. what do you think?.

  Thats one hope I had at one time. To see my dad, and experience life with him again. I honestly don't know what to believe anymore. I am still here waiting for the great tribulation if this in fact will come to fruition who knows?

  Welcome I admire your courage to walk away like that. Not many have the courage to do that. I didn't walk away I was pushed away. I look forward to reading your future posts.

  How Many Here Are DF'd, Disassociated Or Not Worried That They Might?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm curious as to whether the majority of the board's disfellowshipped.

  and i'm curious as to whether or not push came to shove, that you would not be overly distressed if you did wind up getting df'd........as time goes on, i am caring less.

  What's The Worst Job You've Ever Had?

  by SYN in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so what's the worst job you've ever had?.

  book-servant at the kingdom hall would be pretty bad, but ministerial lawn servant is probably worse.. outside the society, probably my worst job was waitering.

  i have a very short short-term memory, although this is more than made up for by my ltm, which means i made a really sh*te waiter, let me tell you.

  I worked as a certfied nursing assistant in a nursing home for a very brief time while trying to put myself through school. It was the worst job I have had to do. Cleaning up crappy diapers and lifting heavy people was not my idea of fun. Thankfully it was only briefly. Now instead of cleaning up crap I rehabilitate people. Life is good

  If This Place Was A Congregation, Who Would Be The Elders, MS and CO's?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know some of you hate the idea of jwd being like a congregation but just for fun, let's imagine who would "serve" as the elders (presiding overseer, secretary, service overseer) etc.

  and what "privileges" you would be given.
