  Celtic, I've wondered the same thing. It's been said that they monitor this site. I don't know how they read some of the things that are posted here and not do something about their disgusting policies that wreck peoples lives. They have to be very hard hearted, many times I come here and I'm in tears, how can they not be moved. I believe that they will answer to God one day in a big way for being so presumptuous in their claim that they speak for God. That's why I left, when I learned what they are, my conscience would not let me have any part in that evil organization (yes, I believe it's evil).

  did anyone here just broke the news to the unsuspecting spouse/so that they just were not going to be a jw anymore?.

  please tell me about the reactions and the aftermath.

  did it break the relationship, or did it survive?

  I told my hubby that I wasn't going to any more meetings over 2 years ago. It hurt him real bad, it came as a total shock to him, when he talked to the elders about my situation, he was in tears. Boy, was that hard for me to take, it really tore me up that I hurt him so bad, but there was no way that I could continue in good conscience to be a JW. I told him what I had learned, but he couldn't accept it. We don't talk about anything JW related now, I just keep my mouth shut, it's better that way.

  Did you wear your badge outside the convention, so as to "give a witness?"

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this year at the dc, we were expressly told to wear our badges at all times, even when going to a restaurant or some place else, so we could "give a witness.".

  did any of you hear follow through with this arrangement?

  did you have one of those "fantastic" experiences, when someone commented on your badge?.

  I never wore a badge during the convention, didn't want to put any holes in my fine dresses :-) and I didn't want to scratch my little one with the badge when I would hold her. If I did "wear" a badge I would attach it to my purse. Never wore it outside of the convention either.

  Are you black or white ? ( just asking)

  2. friends

  please dont take offence but ive just realised something maybe its been touched on before,.but when i was reading the thread on bil cosby i read the one off obviously secret.

  now as i am a white person i assumed he was white until he stated he was black.

  so when i thought about it, i imagine everyone on this site is white, does everyone who is black imagine everyone else is black, and anyone oriental imagine everyone else is oriental.

  Inactive and most likely marked. When I run into a JW I always go up and say hello to them, with a big smile on my face, some of them get this scared look on their face. Don't know if it's my imagination but it happens alot.

  More Fat-Burner Soup!

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i decided a few weeks ago that i would like to lose a little weight.

  about 15 pounds.. now i'm not fat - not really squidgy fat, just a bit over cuddly - so i decided on a gradual weight reduction over several months.

  slow and steady wins the race!.

  YESTERDAY'S ASSEMBLY SUCKED........

  by Mary in

  2. friends

  well, i got dragged, kicking and screaming talked in to going to the assembly yesterday as a friend of mine was in the drama.

  what a freaking waste of time interesting experience.

  first of all, i had a tough time squeezing my larger than life ass bum into a seat that looked like it was made for a house-elf small child.

  LOL Mary!! Thanks for the great review.

  I don't know if I'm going to the assembly this summer. My jw hubby hasn't said anything yet and I haven't asked. We have alot going on during the month that the assembly is scheduled. There are 4 or 5 district assemblies scheduled in our area, so I don't know if we will be able to make one of the weekends. I don't mind going it gives me a chance to keep up with all of the crap new light.

  Last years assembly they were spewing out on how the media was telling lies about them. Then they would turn around and read the "glowing" reports that were in the media that showed them in a good light at the very same assembly.

  I asked my jw hubby if the media is spreading lies, why doesn't the watchtower sue. He couldn't give me an answer.

  I was doing the "fade" but couldn't take it anymore. I walked out of the Kingdom Hall in December 2001 total fed up, I had had ENOUGH!!! Such freedom that day! Haven't been back except for the Memorial of 2002. I still go to the Assemblies with my hubby to keep him company, but I refuse to go to the Memorial.
