  Horror of horrors.....

  by Tatiana in

  2. friends

  i know that while being a witness, we were not really allowed to watch horror movies, or anything that smacked of demonism.

  anything supernatural.

  my question is, what movie or movies, since leaving the society, has really scared or upset you?

  by josephus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my dad was telling me today that i am a big dissapointment to my mum.. it seems the feels that all her years of rearing us are a waste of time,.

  because her three kids dont go to the meetings.. she drew parralels to another family, in our hall, and said we all the same.. the other family has four kids, three of whom are/were drug dealers.. one was driven out of the country by terrorists because of it.. the other is a prick living in a giant house.

  he only talks to you if hes bought.

  Dubs Worked My Street Today

  by FreePeace in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this morning, i went outside for a smoke, and lo and behold, down the street i saw 2 dubs just starting their door-to-door work.

  it was an older dub brother i used to know from my old congregation, and an unidentifiable sister.

  i knew that they would not be good candidates for the current un/ngo discussion, as he is a dub who really doesn't get it.

  my husband and i have a friend who credits the lord with every good thing that happens in his life.

  he is really a nice guy, unmarried, no kids and is now in remission from non hodgkins lymphoma (again, credit to the lord).

  Ridiculous trips to the 'back room'

  by Esmeralda in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the posts in the elders meeting thread got me thinking about this, so i've spun it off for into another thread.. were you ever 'counseled' because "some" in the congregation were disturbed by things you said/did/listened to/watched?.

  here is just some of the stupid stuff that the elders brought me in on.

  though they were usually handled through shepherding calls, not in the back room at the kh.. 1: because i decided to change my first and middle names.
