  Always took out rural territory. Houses were much further apart and I did not know anybody there. Never would do my own neighborhood.

  JW Dropouts

  in the mid 1960's a non-jw uncle of mine was at high school and enthused about the woodwork, electonics and metalwork he was enjoying.

  when i asked mother about it she said "oh don't be silly, armageddon will be here long before you go to high school".

  as it was i enjoyed high school but left to pioneer as soon as i legally could in 1972 (aged 15 and just in time to pioneer before the big a).

  Did you give lots of money to the Watchtower?

  by JH in

  2. friends

  i didn't put much money in the contribution box.

  just buying a bigger car was my way of contributing financially.

  i also was generous with the ones in need.. as far as the watchtower's contribution boxes were concerned, they didn't recieve much from me.

  back when i was a boy in the 1950s many men wore hats and so did my father.. one evening at the kh he was called in to the backroom by the elders for a 'meeting after the meeting',.

  his crime?

  he had been seen raising his hat when greeting women!!!!.

  WHO HAS READ C.O.C.? WHAT WAS AN EYE OPENER FOR YOU?

  by juni in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am half way through the book and am finding some surprising information.

  i was always told that the gb met on wed. and prayed before considering their decisions on things, but was i surprised that different ones were given the assignments and to use if they wanted other "worldly" written things and then were off on their own to work independantly or w/another to come up w/the book, etc.. also, the malawi and mexico difference in treatment.

  brothers lied to escape military service in mexico.

  What are JW's taught about friendships with worldlies?

  by Worldly in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm new to posting here, but i've been lurking for awhile trying to find out more about the jw life, as i have a dear friend who is a jw, but there are many things i don't understand about him, and how he treats our friendship.

  i came right out and asked him once if it was true that he was not allowed to be friends with people outside of his religion, and he said "no, but we are encouraged to spend our time with "like-minded" people and that he had other friends besides me who weren't jw.

  we met at work and seemed to be very close, but i've always felt some aloofness.
