Virtually all of the school aged kids in my hall were/are homeschooled. Most of them have no social skills and would not last a day “in the world”. Maybe that is the point, to keep them dependent on the borg.

Ever bump in to a JW acquaintance at the gym?

by Vetiver in

this has happened to me on 4 occasions.

3 times it was an elder and i simply pretended i didn't know him and avoided eye contact.

the other time was someone of my age that didn't really talk to me of the opposite sex.

My Name is of No Consequence

Yeah I did, actually. I only saw him there once and I'm there all of the time.

The "circle" of the earth

by stillin in

a fair bit of time was spent discussing the (one) scripture in the bible that "proves" that when the bible touches on scientific subjects, it is absolutely correct.

this was at the most recent clam meeting this past week.

from isaiah, the reference to the "circle" of the earth.

My Name is of No Consequence

The New NWT has replaced "circle" with "sphere".

Just kidding!

Will YOU Ever Leave The Watchtower Org.?

by minimus in

there is usually a metamorphosis that takes place for a person to leave the jehovah's witness religion.

most people do not just up and go simply because they realize this could not be the truth.

it often takes time.. for those that go to meetings or engage in the ministry, will you forever continue doing these things, knowing that it is all bs?

I have been mentally out since 2010. I still go to the occasional meeting/convention with my wife and son. Even that is dying off.

Anyone go on a cruise?

just finished a 7-day cruise from nyc on norwegian cruise line (ncl- gem).

this is my first cruise in 30 years, so my past experience does not count.. overall, a great experience.

ncl does a great job.

My Name is of No Consequence

I have been on three. The best one was in 2006. It was a 7-day southern Caribbean cruise. I absolutely loved it.

Funniest or strangest thing to happen to you when knocking on a door

by usualusername1 in

what is the funniest or strangest thing to happen to you or your partner when knocking on doors?.

mine was seeing a greenhouse with mannequins inside.

scary...paul.

My Name is of No Consequence

I have two.

When I was a teenager, I was working with a group of brothers. In order to cover the territory quicker, we went to the doors by individually. I walked up to this one door, rang the bell and this very attractive woman wearing just a bathrobe and a smile answers the door. I go through my presentation and still smiling, takes the magazines and thanks me. That just made my day.

One time, I got my Social Studies teacher at the door.
