Aunties and Uncles?
by glitter inhere in north england it's very common for children to call close friends of their parents aunty or uncle even if they're not really related.
this also happened at the kh with all the kids calling adults aunty or uncle.
is this standard jw practice or is it just a northern thing?

Have JWs abandoned my mum?
by glitter inmy mum has been inactive for over 10 years, but for almost as long as that an elder has been bringing her magazines and books so she's up to date.
she gets tapes of talks indirectly through another person.
the elder's not been in a while.

Female elders
by glitter inwhen did you first realise the society wouldn't allow women to be an ms or an elder?
i remember being seven or eight and playing dolls with an elder's daughter in her bedroom.
my doll was meeting up with her doll at the convention after not seeing each other for a long time.

Christian Fundamentalists and Adam and Eve
by glitter inhow do people who believe a "day" of creation is a literal 24-hour day ("because the plants would have died") get around adam and eve not dying the same literal 24-hour day as eating from the tree?
jws say that the "day" didn't equal 24 hours and that adam died within a thousand years and a day=1000 years.... but then you have the plants with no light!
it's almost like it's made up or something!

"Fleshly" brothers and sisters
by glitter ini hate how the wt makes a member's family seem less important than their jw "family" by conditioning them to add the "fleshly" qualifier to "sister" or "brother" when talking about their siblings.
it just always made me shudder.
did this really bother anyone else?

Russian seige over
by glitter init's over - russian troops stormed the building after 2 militants blew themselves up.. .
the news is saying the monsters took the children's clothes away when they asked for water, soaked them in water and threw the back at them and told them to suck on their clothes - so the kids who are outside are all in their pants or are naked.
they refused to give them water, food, blankets and medicine when the army and negotiators asked for them to be brought in.. .

Apostate Literature
by glitter in.
a jw once told me apostates print their "own" version of the publications with "convincing" covers to "trick" people - apparently they used to stand outside a shop in sheffield and jws had almost taken literature from them.. has this got any truth to it at all?
i'd have thought most self-published apostate literature would be photocopied leaflets.. other than the brilliant photoshopped spoof covers people post of course!
