I will not share a meal with you but can you give me some money
by tyler m ini had to come here and post about this.
my parents who have dutifully shunned me for nearly 9 years had the nerve to ask me for money.
it wasn't for food, a car payment, house payment or anything like that.

Un-scriptural & Non-biblical JW terms
by ljwtiamb inafter a recent 'spiritual' discussion with a relative, it hit me that so much of the jw terminology is not to be found anywhere in the bible or, at best is taken totally out of context.
yet, it's by these terms & titles that jws approve and condemn each other, the entire world, and worse believe that god even cares!.
i can just imagine someone at the pearly gates, explaining to peter: 'yeah, but i was a "pioneer!".

Circular meetings
by truth_about_the_truth indont you love it when you go to the meeting only to hear them talk about why you should be at the meetings?.
basically this is the point:.
"it is important for us to be at the meetings so we can be reminded about coming to the meetings.".

DA and DF
by ivy init has been a long time since i checked up on the practices of the jw's, and through this discussion i keep hearing posts on da letters.. i was da in an announcement at a meeting back in 1988 or 1989. it was basically the same as being df, but i hadn't been baptized.
a few months later the borg came out and said that it couldn't be done to someone who wasn't baptized.
so they discussed the change, and then at the end of the meeting said, the matter with ..... has been delt with.. suddenly, everyone was talking to me again, they even wanted to plan a baby shower.. what is the policy now?

Stop shouting at me!!!!!
by New Worldly Translation indid anyone else notice when they were a dub and they read the society's literature how many exclamation marks the writers used.
it used to really get on my nerves.
apart from being a punctuation faux pas to use that many !

Have you expanded your entertainment choices post witness?
by Thechickennest inwe live in a small ranching community in western south dakota where chicken roping on saturday nights at the local redneck steakhouse tavern is the feature entertainment in town!
if we drive about 80 miles north we have more choices.
without 5 meetings, door to door, assemblies, study, study, study, etc, etc, that kind of frees up quite a bit of time.
