  Do JWs miss having large parties, pot-lucks, etc?

  by navytownroger in

  as has been stated before, large congregational get-togethers, cook-outs, baseball games, etc are now greatly discouraged by the society.

  back in the 80s in san diego we had parties, night-time beach bonfires, pool parties and frequent restaurant meals with 10+ people.

  do current jws seem to miss these sorts of social activities??

  When I was a kid growing up in the 70's, we had constant congregation picnics, which usually included softball games, volleyball, and some of the best food I can ever remember eating. There was a family in our congregation that were on site caretakers for a old yacht club property that had a large building where the food was setup and large fields for whatever games everyone wanted to play.

  I am of the opinion that the change in policy (not allowing these type of gatherings) has had a negative impact on the RF. There is no joy to be found in this organization anymore and these events were a great way for witnesses to have some fun and "let their hair down". I think the mass exodus of youth leaving the Borg is further proof of this. Obviously, these activities cut down on field sales time (field circus) and the suits in Crooklyn wanted to make sure the sales force weren't being distracted by having some fun........

  hi everyone, thought it was time to say hi after nearly a year lurking on this site!!

  abit about me... i was born into the jw's and have been baptised for about 15yrs and was appointed as an ms about a year ago.

  i have been a die hard jw for the last few years, but because of the arrogant and unloving attitude of certain 'spirit appointed' men within the cong and circuit i began to wounder if what i had really was 'the truth' and caused me to do some digging on some of the fundamental teachings.

  it's on her shoulder.

  i saw it when she turned her back.

  it's a beige patch; so it really showed up on her skin.

  Even if the elders saw it, I'm sure that a few thousand dollars donation in the contribution box will make the problem go away.

  Do You Consider Yourself a "Bright?"

  i have recently been exposed to this term, and i am currently doing research for a paper on this movement.

  i am wondering if there are any on this board that would affirm this label for themselves.

  Hate is such a strong word, I would like to think that we have a slight disagreement when it comes to choices of god worshiping locations........

  Nevertheless, it would be cool to hear from someone on the "inside" thinking about coming to the "outside", (or the dark side)

  Still no takers, I'm sure there are a few who are tempted........JUST DO IT!!!

  Obviously, they monitor this site......both knowingly (the official what are the apostates up to assignee) and unknowingly (bethelites that are lurking just waiting for their chance to cut and run). You know the saying, keep your friends close and your enemies even closer.....................How about a shout out from one of you guys!!!!!

  They are probably afraid we would hunt them down and hang them from the nearest tree.

  No, no, no, we would never do that, we don't want to hurt our little bethelite friends, we want to communicate with them.....JWD to Bethel.....are we communicating, we want to hear from you!!!! We know you're there, a direct assignment from the GB, you're here to report what we're saying and doing......come on, throw us a bone, we won't bite (except for Dinah, she's been known to bite a few times!!!!)
