  something I've noticed...

  by LuckyNun in

  it's much more fun to anti-witness.

  i used to hate going out in service, peddling a religion i didn't believe in.

  but telling people about how the jw religion is full of shit?

  One thing I noticed too is I used to get nervous when witnessing to people but I don't when anti-witnessing

  that's a good point bikerchico!

  our kh had a fully functioning kitchen, with 4 ring gas cooker built into the counter, cupboards and everything were custom made by our ever handy elder who i won't name there was a table and chairs and even a microwave, basically, it would be used every sunday, as the meeting finished at noon and field service began at 1pm, people were 'encouraged' not to go home, and have their lunch at the hall, some people brought sandwiches, others brought pot noodles (when they were invented), some people actually cooked, then everyone ate in the room for the second school, also it was used when there was work going on at the hall, which there always seemed to be, if we had surplas of cash, which thinking about it there must have been, it would be spent on lovely hall remodelling, weekends working for free meant the kitchen would be used for teas and coffees, lunch etc.

  Why are breakups so hard

  by Octavia in

  for those of you who have been here for a long time and have supported so many people, i'm sure you've dealt with this and are probably sick of the topic.

  i thought i was fine; the relationship was not well, so the right thing to do is to either fix it or move on.

  well, it doesn't seem to be that easy.

  Does the Golden Rule go both ways?

  by dh in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  everyone knows the golden rule 'do unto others as you would have them do to you'.

  mostly people seem to see the good side of this rule, i.e.

  be kind to people if you want them to be kind back, etc, but couldn't it also mean you can be as evil as you want as long as you don't mind if people are evil back to you?.

  Why would someone want someone else to do something evil to them?

  i don't really know if or why there is anyone out there like that, i was just thinking about the rule from a different perspective. perhaps as a justification for wrongdoing, i.e. a person who does whatever they please regardless of other people because they don't mind having the same done to them, or a person who has already had the bad things done to them, and so does them in return.

  i know the reality of the matter isn't like this, since someone who'd do the above probably wouldn't care about the rule in the first place, i was just thinking about it.

  dh - come on now, you've been to so many places many of us would like to visit - can't you post a photo or two?.

  where are you now - in scotland?.

  check in now and then, and tell us what you're up to and how that relative of yours is progressing with your help, ok?

  hi seeit, was surprised to see this topic! i will post or mail some photos from here when i get chance, probably when i am back in china as i am using public computers on this trip, so far it has been interesting, swimming in the ocean a lot, getting a tan, i have seen lions & giraffes and stuff, and did the worlds highest bungee jump a few days ago, 216 metres, that was a blast.

  about my relative, we've talked and passed emails, they've acknowledged that there are plenty of wrongs in the jw organisation, that it's unbalanced etc, but said they cannot renounce their faith in god, as life without god doesn't work for them, this was a good thing because it made it easier to state the obvious; that it's possible to have a life and faith in god that is not a life and faith in a printing company. i also forwarded the documents runningman sent me, and i think things will work their way through slowly slowly, i will keep you posted.

  hope all is well with you, sorry i am not able to post much!
