threads on the newer jw face of public "witnessing" have shared in common the astonishment that jws safely park themselves behind their literature trolleys and exercise incredibly little contact with passersby.
whether the poster is talking about europe or the united states or australia, descriptions here are the same.. literature stands are protective sheilds behind which jws huddle, talking to each other, sipping on their espressos, whilst the disinterested world passes by.
neither the jws nor the passersby catch each others eyes.
I am thinking of taking them a couple of Arizona Iced Teas or something, on the next hot day. It's in the direct sunlight where they are set up, and why not be nice? Show them that an exJW, disfellowshipped person can be happy and caring.
I dunno, maybe I'm getting soft in my old age. ;)

they just posted the simplified august study watchtower on jw.org.. paragraph 11 of the "expectation!
" article says this:.
"so even if we feel that we have been waiting a long time, this does not mean that the end is far away or that it is not coming in our lifetime.".
"Stay Alive Till '75!"

your going to enjoy the latest rumor i heard why i have not been to meeting for around nine months, i am a homosexual!
i was caught having a drink at one of the gay bars for business, yes people still talk business in bars.
revelation 17:4).and murderers, and fornicators (cf.
Don't know what the gossip was when I was DFd, but I did hear about a month ago, that I cheated on my ex-husband back in my late 20s. NOT ...... but I guess that's been the 'scoop' for the last 25 years. I probably caused my own cancer, too. Jerks.

i cannot express watching one man with 6 strings and some electricity.

And the heart of a boy. That's one of the best things about Eddie, he has that goofy smile, he's jumping up and down, and rockin' with his axe.
Roth has really aged, imo *was* the one of the very best front men in R&R.
That was most excellent, thank you!
: )

It's obviously a very emotional video. I felt very positive after watching it. She is OUT of the cult, and has her Mother! That is very hopeful. Of course, she is having a hard time, but I bet she has a lot of support at school - that was the vibe I got from the vid.
: )
if you thought that stephen lett came to realize finally, that wearing a pinky ring doesn't seem modest, you are wrong.. in the introduction video to the video "what is true love?
" of the convention releases day 3, he is as lunatic as ever and wearing his pinky ring again.. thank you, governing body.
let "lett" talk in front of the worldwide convention audience and in your broadcasts, and you will wake up more jw's than any other means might do..
i mean pretty much all parents lie to their children at some point about something and usually it was to protect them or just wasn't something important and it normally doesn't affect the relationship between them and their child.
but how does a person reconcile and recover their appreciation for their parents after finding out almost everything they taught them was an evil lie?
i don't mean going back to the same relationship as i know that is gone, especially if the parents are still deceived.
Everyone's experience is different. Your family situation is unique. Remember that your feelings are VALID; it's okay to be angry. Good to vent, then look at the reasons why, usually hurt feelings, betrayal, injustice. xx Remember to breathe, and see the beauty in life, if only for a moment - work through these issues and in time, and you will find peace.
imagine that the cult decided to stop shunning family members on the proviso that the dfd person was not actively trying to attack the cult.. (please don't debate whether or not this is likely - it's hypothetical).
how would you respond to your family?.
personally i think i would be less than cooperative.
From a scientific standpoint, psychologically speaking, a person cannot know how they will react in a certain situation until it actually happens. This thread is moot.

lmao - and if the sky rained gold tomorrow, I would gladly welcome rain.
I don't indulge in 'fantastical thinking'.
