Disfellowshipped anointed
by New Worldly Translation init's not very often my mother brings up jw stuff with me cos she knows my opinion on it.
tonight however she mentioned that she had answered up incorrectly at the book study this week and she wanted to know what my take on it was.. the question was can disfellowshipped anointed ones come back into the org and still claim they are of the anointed?.
my mum said no and i thought no too, but apparently they can or so the group leader said.

2006 Drama
by New Worldly Translation ini just heard that my brother has been picked to be one of the main parts in the drama at this years district convention .
i thought this was hilarious when my mother told me tonight.
i said was he gonna be jezebel so my mum thinking i was been sarcastic and derogatory about it changed the subject.

Hello, hope everyone is fine and dandy
by New Worldly Translation inhi dudes & dudesses,.
i haven't posted on here for a while, so i thought i'd say hi.. i left off visiting the forum last year cos i figured i needed to forget all about the jw's and re-invent myself and my life.
harder than i thought though as all my family are jw's and infuriating as they are, they're pretty much the only friends i have at the moment.

Aversion to Polo mints
by New Worldly Translation ini don't know if anyone else has this affliction along with an aversion to trebor extra strong mints.
it goes back to my days attending the kingdom hall and taking a packet of mints to suck on and pass the time.
mints being the only food type allowed at meeting time i seem to recall.

Getting serious
by New Worldly Translation ini don't know if this happened to anyone else when they left the org but when i left i lost some of my sense of humour.
once i found out life wasn't a temporary trivial game with a happy ending in sight i found things took on a more serious aspect.. all through school and work i was more intent on making people laugh, dodging responsibility or taking time off than forging a career.
i thought what's the point, all this is temporary and won't matter soon.

Useful e-books that you might find of interest
by New Worldly Translation ini've been making a few e-books recently of some books that i found useful in my research since leaving the jw's.
some of the titles have been mentioned by others as being of interest to them too so i thought i would give you guys the heads up.. some of the articles can be found in rough form on the internet but it's much easier to read as an e-book and you can place bookmarks and annotations in them too.
you will need to download the free microsoft reader to view them - http://www.microsoft.com/reader/downloads/pc.asp.

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 !

Irish Poteen - Anyone tried it?
by New Worldly Translation ini'm quite into spirits & liqueurs at the moment and always like to try a new tipple.
this irish poteen 90% stuff has piqued my interest but i was wondering if anyone had ever tried it and what was it like?
the strongest spirit i've had before was an austrian drink called stroh which wasn't that nice really and traded taste in favour of strength imo.

Question for those raised a JW
by New Worldly Translation ini was wondering if anybody feels like i do that if i hadn't been raised a jw i would never have embraced the religion.
i know it's easier to say in hindsight after i know the truth about the org but honestly i don't think i would have given them the time of day.
i'm not a religious person or even a spiritual person and being a jw always caused a conflict in my mind.
