  What would you talk about or ask when you ran into someone at an assembly?

  by Tenacious in

  2. beliefs

  i remember whenever we had an upcoming district assembly they would usually cancel the weekly meeting so it would be about 1 week (if you didn't do field service) until you would see members from your congregation again.

  and also other members from other congregations you may have attended in the past.

  do you remember how some members would embrace and scream for joy whenever they came across someone they hadn't seen in a while?

  Am I imagining this cover or what?

  by carla in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am trying to remember a cover of a wt or awake that had a picture of a priest or maybe even the pope.

  i think the issue came out in the height of the catholic sexual abuse cases and being disappointed in your religion or something like that.

  i have searched this site and google images but not be using the correct key words.. the reason i am looking for it is because should it come up that jw's are being persecuted due to all the recent publicity i would like to ask a jw if the wt and the mainstream media were 'persecuting' the catholic church when they were uncovering wrongdoing in that religion or any other.

  So What Drastic Money Change is Next?

  by OnTheWayOut in

  okay, they cheapened the product by getting rid of hardcover books.

  they reduced printing of mags.

  they drastically reduced the number of pieces of printed paper that members would "place" in people's hands in various ways, the biggest one being that they put them on a cart and don't encourage people to take them.they cut d.o.

  A ridiculous thing I found in the old young people’s book

  by Addison0998 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it was in some book for young people that i found going through the watchtower library when i was doing research for old publications, i cannot believe this lunacy, i feel so bad for the teenagers at the time who had to try to take this seriously, but they’re not a high control religion or cult though, anyways here is is : .

  if you sleep in a room alone and you find that you seem to feel special stress in this direction at night, you may be able to arrange matters to share a room with another member of your family.

  also, you may find it helpful to sleep on your side rather than on your back or face down.. 18 another thing that may be helpful is to see to it that your clothing does not unnecessarily cause friction with the sexual organs.

  Ex-Jehovah's Witness Recovering Group 3 and This Site

  by dubstepped in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't remember seeing it ever really talked about here but the facebook group with the namesake of this post shut down at the end of march.

  it was archived and they weren't clear as to when or if they would come back.

  it seemed to come out of nowhere, and i know a lot of people were disappointed.

  Documentary "The Dark Truth of Religion" - Does modern Christianity have ancient Egyptian roots?

  by 4thgen in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  recently we watched a documentary entitled: "the dark truth of religion".

  from the quality of the video, it appeared to be made several decades ago.

  it reminded me of a type of movie that they would show in a college class about the history of world religions.

  Hello

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  hello, i've been lurking for quite some time here on this forum, reading a whole lot and i've finally made the courage to create an account as a form of escape and in hopes to be understood and not feel "mentally diseased".

  little background on me, i am a born in but i consider myself a pimo (physically in mentally out).

  i feel like i've always had doubts but these doubts would sink with the meetings and the assemblies and every other little thing that drowns any doubts a witness may have.
