The Circuit Overseer's Visit on MP3
by TimothyT inmy dad came up to me the other day and handed me the mp3 of the recent visit to my old congregation.
we both decided we would listen to it and discuss it together, despite the fact that neither of us have been to the meeting in over 18 months.. it was nice to hear all those old voices again but it was also a little bit sad.
as regards the talks, they were pretty much the standard i expected them to be.

If I was a JW and I had Orwell's 1984 on my bookshelf...
by TimothyT in... would i be councelled and told to throw it away?.
the book doesnt exactly support the jehovah's witnesses ideology, policies and teachings now does it?
at the same time though they may not appreciate how it could be applied to them and may only see it in the context of politics.. what do you think?.

Starting to read 1984 by Orwell
by TimothyT ini bought the book for a number of reasons:.
1. it sounds brill.. 2. it sounds like the kind of people who read are rather clever and well educated (and i want to be one of them).. 3. i may find it interesting how it relates to the jws.. regarding the latter, does anyone have any thoughts and feeling on this point, or is there anything i should look out for when comparing what orwell writes about with the jws?.

A year has passed and guess what... I dont give a damn!
by TimothyT ingosh... i cannot believe i have been disfellowshipped for over a year!
its so surreal.
because of my ingrained belief that the jw organisation is the one and only true religion, i often think about everything that has happened quite often.

Missing an old JW friend! :|
by TimothyT inhi everyone.. about 5 months ago i posted about how a sister and i were talking since i was disfellowshipped.
we are still good friends and we have such a laugh together.
however for the first time since i told her that i dont want to speak about anything to do with the organisation and particularly with regards to me returning to it, today the conversation came up between her and my dad when she came round for a cup of tea.

by SethBridge inaccept the challenge to change.
that is the way we feel in the congregation, there is a missing piece, you.
there are a lot of the friends who ask about you and tell us to tell you they love you and miss you.
