Return visits
by kj intwo nice jw ladies stopped by my house last week and gave me some magazines.
one of them asked if i would mind if she returned to discuss the magazines and answer any questions i might have.
i think i'd like to attempt some counter-witnessing.

Running into JW's
by Dawn inthis past week i met an old friend for coffee - she's a x-jw also but still in the trap of thinking they are the "truth" - in fact, she's trying to get reinstated, but that's another topic i'll leave for another time.. as we were having coffee 2 car groups of jw's came in for their service break.
her reaction was obvious to me that she felt uncomfortable with them there.
as i was noticing her reaction i thought of the stages i have gone through since i was df'd.. at first i was embarassed and ashamed when i would run into jw's somewhere.

Did your elders ever anounce the names of inactive publishers?
by carefully faded innew castles recently posted a topic asking if there were any specific comments people made that caused us to question or leave the orgnaization.
this caused me to remember one particiular incident and was wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar.
our service overseer came to our bookstudy and did his routine talk on, "you're not doing enough", "what you are doing isn't quality", "do more, more, more" in the field service.

Has anyone read Diane Wilson's book, "Awakening of a Jehovah's Witness"?
by carefully faded intoday, i just received diane wilson's book, "awakening of a jehovah's witness".
i cracked it open tonight and in reading the first page, found something that makes me question her authenticity.
she states, "in my 22 years as one of jehovah's witnesses, i had attained the position of "traveling overseer" both in the united states and brazil.

Why did you choose your avatar?
by FMZ ini have seen many threads about avatars, here is another one:.
i have had this avatar for some time on another board.
i was going to put a picture of myself in there, but decided against it, as i realized this picture has some symbolism to me.

it started at the begining of the school year and now yesterday the b*tch pulled my kids hair so hard she felt it an hour later.
two teachers know of the situation and have told my kid to just ignore it.

What does bttt's mean?
by carefully faded inthis may sound terribly ignorant, but i've seen references many times on this website to "bttt's" and i don't know what it means.
i think it may have something to do with bringing old topics back to life?.
