growing up scared of Armageddon
by bittersweet ini was just curious if any of you growing up in the truth were overly scared of armageddon?.
when my mom came into the org.
in the 70's,the only so called kids book was the paradise lost book.the pictures in that book scared the pants off me!at night when i was lying in bed,if i would hear a loud plane go over head,or there was a thunder storm,i was sure it was the start of armageddon and i would be sooooo scared.i was wondering if i was the only one overly scared,or if their were others.. also,was anyone out there extremely frightened of the demons?i would hear all these crazy experiences of people having problems with demons,and i was sooo frightened they would come bother me.maybe i was just a big old scaredycat,but if any one else has any experiences,please post them!

LOCAL NEEDS TALKS, ANY YOU REMEMBER?
by minimus inone of the best tools the elders have to counsel the congregation is the local needs part.
how does one usually get picked for this talk?
generally, during an elder's meeting, one elder will have his pet peeve.he convinces the body that this issue has to be handled by the body.

Do you think that some Ex-Jw's
by kenpodragon indo you think that some ex-jw's still hold to the type of thinking of active jw's.
in that they like to argue every single point out to the point that the other side does not even care anymore, and wonders why anyone even took it that far.
i am not quoting any exact example, but i have been on enough sites to know that there always seems to be a few who like to do this on all sites.

discrimination if your fathers not an elder
by smiler inits sad to think that if you are in the 'truth' that discrimination is so blatant, this works in your favour if you happen to be male and have the 'privalage' of being an elder.
as this will mean that as an elder he will probably be aware of any persons attending the kh who have had allegations made against them or convicted of child abuse.
if the 'privalaged' elder has children of his own then he is in a better position to protect his children from abuse or contact with the abuser.

MARTHA'S VINEYARD ANYONE???????
by sisteract inanyone from martha's vineyard congregation?
that's pretty much where it all began with me and the "truth" , would love to chat regarding people, places and things from times past.
i walked out back in 1997 (i was not living on the island at that time), and would love to hear from only those that have also left the jw"s from the island.
