  OldSoul is Temporarily Offline

  by jst2laws in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  oldsoul asked me to start a thread to let you know he will be offline for a short time.

  he did not know if it would be a few days or a week or so.

  he very much regrets this sudden absence considering he has made many friends in a short time and may have left a discussion or two in suspension.

  I'm thinking of going back

  by Smoky in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  over the weekend my cousin came to visit from mi, and her husband (elder) started to do his shepperding thing with me (have not attended meetings for over 1 year), and made a compeling argument about how the holy spirit is given by god only if you attend meeting and go to field service...etc, etc.

  and the whole "faith and works" issue.

  it was a different angle that i have never heard before, about me being a "instrument or tool" of god...blah, blah, blah... anyhow, it got me thinking about going back...especially when things are not going to well for me right now... (he said its because i left jehovah).. how can i convince myself that this is not true?

  hi there i'm new here, my name is fiona i am not yet a jw and have not started to study yet.

  i am very interested in doing so but since i am still new to all this i thought i should attend some meetings first.

  i am going to my first one today at the kelvin hall in glasgow, i am quite nervous as i do not know what to expect but also excited at the same time since it could be the beginning of a huge change in my life.

  filthy kingdom halls

  by what_Truth? in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i don't know if this is wt policy, but our hall had a policy of assigning bookstudy groups to clean the hall.

  the few times my family actually showed up (along with anyone else) that the hall was always in a disgusting state, especially the bathroom.

  the woman's washroom had the most revolting smell you could ever imagine.

  .

  after leaving, what (excluding the obvious bit of slap and tickle) is your favourite forbidden pleasure.

  Conversation Starters with JW Friends

  by cab1000 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am always looking for "nice" things to say to my witness family.

  things that would at least make them try to think outside of their box.

  here are my some of my favorites.. right now my top favorite is "tell me truly, honestly, the god of this universe, almighty in power, lord and master of all, all knowing, eternal, god of gods, (yes, hammer that point), has picked the jehovah's witnesses, out of all people, and out of all religions, worldwide, to represent him and his wishes, even though, the jehovah's witnesses have been wrong in the past, now, right now, if any person on this earth, any person on this earth, does not pay attention to the jehovah's witnesses, he or she will forever be destroyed at armeggedon?

  DA'ing coming up, to speak out now or not?

  by meat pie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi there, i know its up to me in the end, but just wondering, what would most of you do?

  my da'ing could be tonight, should i take the opportunity (before they can no longer speak to me ) to tell a few jw's that i am being da'd for telling the truth, or not to bother.

  does it matter anyway.
