Visiting JW parents... should i be evil?
by jimakazi inmy family and i will be visitng my parents this weekend.
they do not shun us and are in their mid 60's.
while i'd get satisfaction out of sharing some of the information i've discovered here i don't know that this would be the best thing for them - their whole life and friends are the local jw congregation.

Live 8! Like Jehovah's Witnesses, all talk and no possible action.
by free2beme inas i enjoy these concerts this weekend, where i got to see pink floyd perform.
i am reminded all the more how much us humans like to put on a good show, but really get very little done.
these artist have spent time, money and effort to end world hunger in africa.

When Jehovah's Witnesses do bad - Are criticisms of JW's valid? Part I
by rambaldi inwhen we see news reports of jehovahs witnesses who are reported to have done something bad, what do we think?
sometimes people ridicule us for that.
obey and become his special property, disobey and be rejected.

What have you gained?
by bagpuss inits two years since i last attended a meeting or thought of myself as a jw.
despite the prophesys of doom and gloom for those who leave the org i have gained lots and lost nothing.. i have much more time to spend with my husband which has led to our relationship improving fantastically.. i have a better relationship with my children who stopped going to meetings when they were teenagers.. i have become much closer to my family (i've just returned from yorkshire from my great nephews 1st birthday party.
my confidence has grown dramatically as i no longer view myself as worthless.. the guilt of not doing enough has gone.. i now have real friends.. the list goes on, but i really would like to hear what you've gained or hope to gain by leaving the borg.

MY ADVENTURE AT THE ASSEMBLY......
by Mary into start my day with: as i was walking down the street towards hell the assembly, i went to cross halfway across the road when a cheese and cracker brother told me that i should "cross at the light so that others can see that jehovah's people are law abiding citizens.
stick my lapel badge up his ass sideways make a good impression so i waited until he was distracted by other jaywalkers and then dashed across the road complied with his suggestion.
once in the building i managed to find a seat next to a guy who looked remarkably like fat bastard was a bit on the plump side.

www.live8live.com - make your vote count
by zagor inive read some posts on this topic but i think also there's a time to stop being cynical for a moment and try doing something constructive.
yes last concert wasnt as successful as everyone hoped; perhaps weve learned something since then.
give your vote, make it count, it is a small thing to do..
