It seemed like that as a teenager I had my most erotic dreams when I slept during meetings, it was my only consolation for even being there other than the fact my dad kicked my arse out the door and into the station wagon. I slept through the watch tower study, and talk, it was always way too early in the morning for me. ZZZZZZZZ's Shane

What Did You Typically Donate To The Hall & Society?
by minimus ini'm wondering if our departure has cost the society and local congregations money.

I only donated if my ex-wife twisted my arm. I felt that if its the true faith God would take care of the money.

How do you think the society would react if...
by truth_about_the_truth inas an active witness, you won the lottery and offered to contribute a large portion of that to the worldwide work?.
- take the money and cover up your "wrongdoing"?.

You would most certainly be at the very lest publicly reproved or disfellowshiped. I have gambled many times, but I don't give a molded Pizza Crust how they feel. I enjoyed ever min of it, I might suggest "Double Diamonds" three dollar slots. Shane

New here
by Delta20 inmy name is jaron, 19 years old, i'm from the netherlands, and in about a month i am going to start joining the jw's meetings and i'm kind of looking forward to become a jw.
i can of course tell ya'll my entire spiritual story, but that would take an entire bookwork.
in a nuttshell: my father is an ex-jw, my half-sis (from an earlier marriage from my dads) is one of those "special pioneers", and i am jewish (my mom is jewish).

Hey Jaron ask the Elders if after you are dedicated if you can question the teaching or at lest some of and see what they say I am sure it will be negative even if just over a little thing. Jaron you can question it now but you just have to fully join and you will slam ducked it you can't or won't swallow some aspect all of them.

What causes most JW's to lose the ability to reason?
by XBEHERE intake a look at this wt excerpt from another thread that i copied and pasted:.

Because they are afraid to question the High Mucky Mucks the (governing body) and that is called being "browbeat" and controlled which is commonly called in today's vernacular a CULT, and if you don't agree with this its because your knee deep in the goop of that CULT. Jesus warned about those would brow beat" his sheep! Shane

Apostates? The Witness's are among the most prominent!
by PinTail inthe twilight zone" has its affect in this instance, granted apostate" means basically someone who changes sides; but for the love of mike the jehovah's witness's did the same thing with the "bible students" and then denigrated them to lower position than pagans, and then railroaded them to the way side through deception and greed.
lest ways the bible studens" stayed with in their own light more reasonably than they did.
apostates unite!

Well here we go:
As a Catholic you were not really much controled, but once you become a Witness's trust me they will become the KGB and give you hell if you step out of line and they will scare you with Armagedon to keep you in line; and you better keep some friends on the outside cause there may come a time when they may kick your hiney out of the trooth then you won't have no body.
