Hi Guys, I'm new here...

by Mikado in

jw
friends

been lurking for years, but couldn't log on.

for some reason, my email spam filter is inaccessable, and ended up having to open another account, simply to become a member... wonder how many others have had a similar problem.. its been an eye opener reading everyones life experiences, often so similar.. i was almost a born in, with a hardcore family.

abusive stepfather who was one of the original jws in the area, so much so, that it was called the xxxxx family religion.... been out for 25 years, am glad every day for that!!.

Welcome Mikado.

Hope you find what you're looking for.

My Simple Advice

live your life to the fullest and try to put the past behind you..

Zoos

If only it were that simple - especially the put-it-behind-you part.

It's still good advice.

What if Everyone Demaded Answers About Where the Money is and What it is Used For?

by TTATTelder in

what if right in the middle of rolling out their latest money-grabbing scheme, there was an uprising demanding financial transparency?.

i thought jehovah was a god of organization and numbers.

isn't that why we report time and have all these annual reports?.

Zoos

Even IF they ever agreed to provide such a report, do you think for a second it would accurately reflect what's going on at Bethel, Patterson, etc...? That report would be as embellished as the Revelation Climax book.

What Do I Do With This RED Book?

by Cold Steel in

some guys visited me a couple of times, and i asked them about the book of revelation.

one of them brought me a red book with a lot of illustrations and at the end of every page or so the guy had dated the day he had read it.

he also marked certain passages.

Zoos

zed is dead: Burn it; or have them explain the "trumpet blasts."

That's a terrible idea. If you burn it, it will turn into an eyeball. That's Satan's way of letting you know he's watching you now for attacking something that belongs to him.

I learned that at the Kingdom Hall during bookstudy many years ago.

You can Vent here ... or Reinvent ... or .... Show us your Vent ...

by RubaDub in

so as not hijack a thread on someone who found this site as a recommended place to vent, i just want to make a few things clear to newer ones here:.

first if you wish to "vent", we prefer to see pictures of your vent (vent selfies are fine).. if you use the term "invent" (in vent) then we understand that to mean things you (or a close friend) are putting in your vent.. when you refer to "inventory" (invent ory) we understand that to mean the specific items you are inventing, or putting in your vent.. the word "reinvent" here means inventory items that you find pleasurable to invent over and over again.. if in doubt, just remember the expression "don't reinvent the wheel".

in other words, don't waste your time sticking a wheel in your vent.. hope this helps the newer ones here.. rub a dub.

jgnat, ranting online would be an...

Wow! I saw my sister last night, and she came as her old self!!

by Faithful Witness in

i went to watch my niece's orchestra recital last night.

i knew my parents were coming, and was pleasantly surprised to see my jw sister and niece were there also.

i don't think my family realized (nor did i) that this was a christian homeschool music program.

EDIT: Nevermind
