  hello this is my first post and i wanted to introduce myself so here goes.. my name is lainey, and i have not been to the meetings for about 4 years now.. i am 28 and work as a doctor in a big city university hospital as a sho.. also for my sins, i am cassies little sis, and i am staying with him for a little while, as i am signed off sick for the next month with a stress related disorder.. after the death of my older bro and my dad within the past few months, i started suffering from terrible nightmares, most of them connected in some way to my witness upbringing.. me and cassie have talked for some length and he suggested that i spend some time having a look on this site and meeting others who have had similar issues to face in life.. i hope you are all are better listeners than cassie, who tends to fall asleep when i am in the middle of talking to him.

  (brothers!!!

  ) btw he hates being called cassie lol.. anyway i am not a big talker, so i probably wont post a lot, however i am going to scout around for a while.. thanks .

  Elders once a year check-up on DF ones.

  by Blueblades in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we got this call from one of the elders who df'd one of our loved ones.he wanted to know where so and so lives,phone # etc.this after two and a half years.they wanted to make contact to see if that one wanted to return to the congregation.

  ( not like the prodigal,who was restored on the spot by his father,rather ,by sitting for six months in the back of the hall and given the silent treatment.

  he admitted tha elders can't read the heart and make mistakes 'mistakes' destroying someones life is a mistake??

  Well I have been out for over four years and noone has tried to contact me, and live five miles from my former hall. I guess it depends on the body of elders.

  my mother told me that after i get married, she's going to give me the "family happiness" book.

  i've never read the thing, but i know it's a wts publication that often gets given or mailed out to newlyweds who aren't in the troof.

  what's your opinion of this "fine christian publication"?

  When I got married in June, 1992, a Bethelite from Brooklyn (John Love) gave me an my wife both a bible and songbook with our names engraved on them.

  At the time, I told him that his gift was my favorite one.

  Funchback you didn't love those little perks? My friends in bethel would send me bibles and songbooks too with name on them. I loved it to the tenth degree. I'm such a dork!

  The family life book sucked. It crammed the idea of traditional gender roles down your throat.

  At what age should JW children start going to the KH?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  did it bother you to see new born babies go to the kingdom hall?

  only a few days/weeks old, and already at the kingdom hall.

  the baby crying throughout the meetings.. at what age would it have been reasonable to bring a child to his first meeting?

  I don't think young children should be at the meetings. Why? Because most don't possess the ability to sit quietly for long periods of time. I would often seen parents bringing their kids crayons and paper to draw. Just leave them home with someone. I as an adult could barely sit through the meetings and pay attention because I was bored out of mind. Young children shouldn't be subjected to that.

  That is too bad about Roy, but I think he needs to find a new hobby. He is getting told old for that. Last I read he was 59.

  I can remember young witness kids acting out in the hall and their parents beating the crap out of them back in the bathroom. I hardly ever got spankings, the evil eye my mother possessed was enough for me.
