i’ve noticed a change in family attitude recently, like there is just something extra on their mind.

i even had to call my brother to check if he was dying and too scared to tell me.

anyway, i saw a video last night my saying jws think we only have 12 months left before armageddon so thought maybe this is the reason for changes attitude.

hi, just curious to know if anyone knows of witnesses not applauding the nhs on thursday night.

all i know is for some reason my mum and aunt only went out to listen but didn’t take part in the applause.

not sure if they were just being strange or if there has been instruction not to take part.

i have been going to meetings since i was a child, long story short only recently i've started taking the truth seriously, i am not baptized but just an unbaptized publisher.

truth is i am so lonely in the congregation.

the other young people in the cong don't like me because they dont think i am going to "stay" for long, i've even worked on the ministry with an older brother and asked her am i giving the wrong impression to people?

hi all, so i am getting married next year and just looking for some advice.. i left the jw's about 10 years ago now and i am marrying a non jw (who is also a scientist) next year.

my family are all still active and my brother has even agreed to be my best man.

there hasn't really been many issues apart from my mum taking it upon herself to tell everyone early that they do not do toasts.

Most Ridiculous Thing You've Ever Been Counseled On
by MrFreeze in
1. jw
2. experiences
i'm sure topics like this have already come up but they tend to get hilarious with the absolute absurdity that goes on in the kh.

i was once counseled for not shaving after two days.

i was also counseled by a sister for eating lucky charms cereal.

Tree of life

2. bible
lets face it, the bible does not say and so any explanation is little more than speculation.

those of us here that believe the bible has value can only reason on it as we see fit.

personally, i do accept the scripures but i do not see the need to take all of genesis quite as literally as the wt does.
