Lisa,
thanks for sharing your experience. It's nice to hear that you don't have any regrets. Congrats on not letting your kids get stuck in this cult. It sounds like you have a great family.
yep, i joined 12 years ago today.
just thought i'd do a drive by and a shout out.
i'm still happy to be free.
Lisa,

i certainly wouldn't.
and if the elders wanted to have a meeting with me, i would respectfully decline.
if the elders wanted to deal with you, would you talk with them?.
I think I will attend the trial. It is bound to happen sooner or later. I already purchased my recorder on Amazon. I'm not sure what direction the JC will go. I will definitly not try to argue doctrine. Perhaps try to reach their inner human. Ask them if they are prepared to tell my family to shun me because I have doubts. I am pretty convincing in person. It will definitly be sincere.
There is no way the Borg owns stock in roku. It is just way easier to make a channel on roku than any other platform. If you look under the religious section on roku, every decent sized religion has a channel.
Regardless roku's are pretty sweet. I am a big fan.
Tons have been purchased. My guess 150,000 by dubs in the US.
i recently heard from someone that the elders received a letter stating it was being deleted from the stream site.
is this true?
any one heard of such a thing?.
Sounds like a rumor. I don't think it was ever on the tv.jw.org. If they removed it I doubt they would send a letter. It would just disappear.
okay, come on ........ how many of you guys out there love the dude?
he's a frickin' role model!
any other favorite movie characters - those that inspire you, that express how you feel about your new-found freedom, or transformation, life in the borg?.
The Dude is epic. Tylerr Durden (fight club) is also fantastic. He fought the institution and won!
it looks as if the gb are blundering around and really showing themselves up for the buffoons they are.
all the stupidity about tight trousers is laughable and if the general public were to see these selfmportant cult leaders blabbing this stuff then the last shred of their credibility would be destroyed.........perhaps.. the wbt$ seem to have dug themselves into a deep pit of no escape with their lies, new light(tm), paedophile protection and all the other nauseating peripherals they have.. we also suspect that the wbt$ have their spies here because they are either predictable or get ideas form forums like this.. so!
are you listening watchtower(r)?
What alphaman said.
every year on a certain thursday in november my family and close witness friends would get together, eat menudo ( hispanic stew) and other foods, watch football and then get dressed to go to the meeting.. sister so and so would bring her famous pie, bro and sister so and so would bring their gross punch and bro and sis so and so would bring mexican sweet bread.
sometimes we would go to "worldy" aunt's and pick up plates of turkey and fixins.. this was every year on a certain date, on a certain thursday in november.. this continued until my mom got alzheimers.
by that time i was married and had my own house.
As a still in dub I love thanksgiving. How can you beat family, football, and food! No turkey of course. That would cross the line. 😳
It really is my favorite day of the year. It may be hypocritical but I would prefer this over dubs refusing to get together on thanksgiving.
wanted to say hello to you all.
i am new to the forum and just wanted to introduce myself.
i was raised a witness, never baptized (yay) and am married to a lovely baptized witness of jehovah.. i had been trying to get back into it due to both our families being j dbs but just never could get it into my heart.
Welcome! It's great that your not baptized. Congrats on the baby as well.
this is an unofficial survey.. was curious as to the number of currently serving elders who were born-in and/or raised as jw versus those who were "recruited"( i.e, not born in or raised as jw.).
for instance, right now in the hall i am assigned to:.
2 elders were born-in and/or raised as jws.. 5 were not (recruited as adults).
I think our hall is bout 50%
they are almost all old though
