WT illegal doctrine
by itsallgoodnow inafter reading the nov 1 1999 questions from readers about voting... http://www.jwfiles.com/vote.htm.
i'm wondering if they felt they needed to change their teachings on this because they feared legal action against them for disenfranchising their people.
am i on the right track with this?

what's your favority JW reference from a movie or TV ?
by itsallgoodnow in.
mine is from friday, the movie with ice cube, where a couple of jw ladies wake up ice cube's character's family one morning and there's some mouthing off, and you wouldn't believe the nasty words coming out of these sweet looking old "sisters".
hilarious!.

hello everyone
by itsallgoodnow inmy first post here - - wanted to give my story, too.
raised a jw, stayed in out of fear, painted myself into a corner and currently struggling to get out completely.
i know lots of people would say they don't respect someone who knows they don't want to stay but is staying for other reasons, like family & friends or whatever.

no reward?
by itsallgoodnow ini'm hearing lately, and it's not the first time i've heard this, that some elders believe the idea of paradise earth should be downplayed, or even abandoned.
they have tried to discourage different ministerial servants i know from focusing on the paradise earth doctrine in passive agressive ways.
i was thinking this is probably either some elder's idea of being super righteous, ie they would "serve" for no reward, no promise of life everlasting in paradise, or maybe these elders are beginning to doubt?

thank you all
by itsallgoodnow ini'm coming up on my one year anniversary posting on this board, and wanted to say thanks to you all for everything i have learned here this past year.
you've definitely helped to make fading a little bit easier to take.
i was pretty lost when i first started posting here and this forum helped me figure out so many things and how to deal with the jws in my life.

my sisters are petty and sad
by itsallgoodnow insure, they are jws, but it's not about that.
they have never really cared about me.
they have always kept me out of their stupid little "club".

What's was the funniest thing that ever happened to you out in service?
by itsallgoodnow in.
for me it's a tie between the time a certain gentlement didn't realize his thingy was "out", waving in the breeze, i couldn't hold it together... laughed until i cried.
or the time the po's wife stepped in dog poo and i laughed and she wasn't amused.....

faith at work
by itsallgoodnow inchristian evangelizing at work, not just for jws anymore.
some people are really smooth about it, but you realize there's more to their persistent religious comments.
they want to convert you and don't stop trying.

how many days?
by itsallgoodnow inok, so we've probably all heard before that someone out there has done a study calculating about how much time we will have spent in our lives sitting at red lights and it comes to about a year?
try calculating about how many days you have spent at circuit/district conventions in your life, assuming there were 3 for circuit every year, and 3 or 4 for district every year.
i can't remember the year it switched to from 4 down to 3. this number is bigger than you might think, especially if you were raised as a jw.
