12-15-66: investigating house and household objectsone under demon attack should calmly, not in hysteria, investigate his house and household articles.
in some few cases the house may be the cause of trouble and the best thing to do is move out.
"However, sometimes objects through which demons make contact resist burning, indicating demonic anger at efforts to destroy them."
This morning I found a memorial invitation that was given to me, it was stuck in the basket that I use for my mail. I thought that it had been thrown out. After writing my thoughts on the tract, I decided it would be fun to burn it! I had a heck of a time to get that one small tract to burn. I was thinking at the time "This must be demonized LOL!!!
when it comes to a simple matter of no longer believing the teachings of jw's, it appears to me that it's more common for the husband to make the first move to leave the religion.
all documents of important nature such as, our kingdom ministry, boe letters, forms, or other materials will now be sent only by email or private message communications.
they will not be posted out here on the board.
if someone else wants to post them, be my guest.. .. we have no other choice in this matter, and sending out confidential documents is better when it is done privately.
Could you please include me. I just sent you a pm. Hubby is a JW and I like to keep up with what's going on in the organization. Thank you Atlantis
well, i would be... if i were still going to meetings.
i live in pittsburgh, pa. for as long as i can remember we've always had our conventions in cleveland.
i think the year i was born was when we started going there.
Totally ADD I just replied to you PM. Sorry it took so long, I haven't been on the computer very much in the last few days.
I didn't realize there are so many XJW's in the Pittsburgh area. I was begining to think that I was the only one, it's nice to know I'm not alone. We should all meet up at the Pyramid for an Apostafest....LOL!!!

Hello all, I'm from the Pittsburgh area as well. I stopped going to meetings almost 10 years ago, but still continued going to Assemblies. This year NO MORE Assemblies, I've had enough. I'm so happy to be NOT traveling to Cleveland this year!!!
without specifics being mentioned as to what it is......(to avoid tipping off certain lurkers).. how many people know about the upcoming summer long campaign?
please use this thread to confirm receipt of your campaign invitation.
take care.
PM me! I'll probably go the the Convention with my JW hubby(if my back heals in time to go). So being in the "undercover brother campaign" might be fun and help with the boredom:-)
hi ladies and gentlemen,.
a reuters article about me and the book just hit the wire.
i swear never to ask this again, but if any of you are big on social media, please feel free to "like" or share it or tweet it or whatever.
I shared both articles on my FB page. Congratulations on your book! I just finished reading it....WOW!! What an amazing story. Brianna, you are a very courageous young woman, and a very gifted writer! I'm looking forward to reading more of your books in the future:-) I used to live in Brea, I lived there before there was a Walmart in town. I now live in PA.
hi, guys .
http://girlsguidetohomelessness.com/upcoming-events/.
book launch is in just under two weeks and there's the tour dates/locations so far.
Congratulations and good luck!! I pre-ordered your book for my Kindle. I'm looking forward to reading it.
i don't know whether this has ever been asked, so i apologize if i'm repeating.. what did you do at the last meeting you ever attended?
did you stay for the whole thing?
what made you realize that this was your last meeting, or did you not know it would be your last meeting??.
I stopped going to the meetings at the Kingdom Hall nine years ago. I was fading at the time, but couldn't take it anymore, so my last meeting at the KH, I walked out of the door and never went back. I haven't been to the Memorial since, my conscience wouldn't let me reject Jesus the way they they do. I would go to the Assemblies to keep my JW husband company on the long drive and to keep up with the "new light". So the Special Assembly day this past weekend, was my LAST meeting EVER.....FREEDOM!!! This is why. Before that I was treated cordial by the JW's, so I'd go with my hubby. But this last assembly I was snubbed big time! I felt something was wrong, but I really didnt' take much notice(JW's can be finicky:-). But when one of my so called friends saw me, she looked at me like she's seen a ghost, wouldn't talk to me and she couldn't get away from me fast enough. I knew then I was being shunned!! As far as I know I'm not DF. Unless hubby failed to enlighten me. I wonder which one of my "sins" against the Watchtower got found out, I hope it was a good one LOL!!! So next time hubby tells me the Assembly is coming up....I'll tell him he can go by himself!!! I'm not taking that abuse!
BTW I didn't tell my JW husband about the snubbing because the less I say about the JW's the better. I try to avoid the JW's as much as possible at the Assemblies, I time it so that we get there right when it starts, leave the assembly hall to go out to lunch(that SA day went for a sandwich and I had a beer:-), I leave right when it's over, so not very much associating with them. But if he asks why I'm not going anymore, I'll tell him. If not, I'll keep my mouth shut....works best.
i was doing some investigation on google maps for a trip i'm making to pittsburgh, pa next week.. come to find out the the place i'm going is only a few mile from the assembly hall i spent allot of time at as a kid.
looking at this pictures bring back allot of memories.
some good, some bad.. anybody else attend this assembly hall in coraopolis, pa?.
I attend the Coraopolis, PA assembly hall. They've recently remodeled the inside. They tore out the beautiful stone fireplace. Now the inside of the building looks like a cookie cutter version of all that is built by the JW's. There's an assembly this weekend and I think next weekend, if you want to check out the remodel job.
