  How many have had a problem with the confession idea to elders?

  by Hope4Others in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i use to, well i still do think its no better than the confession idea to a priest.. 1. how many elders step down and are removed and what then?.

  2. how many people have access to the file cabinet?.

  3. my biggest thought is how many that are no longer elders repeat the dirty little secrets?.

  What Was The Silliest "Offense" That You Were Counseled For?

  by minimus in

  1. jw

  when i was a teenager, i was told by an elder that because i smiled a lot and was known for my good sense of humor, that i should come across as "more serious".

  so before i was appointed a ms, while in my late teens, i transformed myself into a much more "serious" brother.. were you ever told that you needed to work on something that you knew was stoopid?.

  Do you think JWs actually care if they convert people or not?

  by LouBelle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the reason i ask this is because when i was on the field way back in the day - i really couldn't be bothered if the householder was interested or not.

  if they took literature and paid for it (we asked a certain price for literature before it all became on a donation basis) it was a bonus, plus meant money for a cooldrink / tea & cake afterwards.. actually i would prefer it if they weren't interested so i could get away from the door - sometimes their ""conversation stoppers"" made too much sense and i couldn't answer back.. that meant i didn't convert anybody.

  do you think most of the jws' are like that today?

  JW Youths - Living "Double Lives"

  by BBOARD in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i grew up around very hypocritical jw youth.

  many of whom i now know at 20 were never living up to the lie they put out ... stupid me i was.

  here i stand now because of it - i am sure most of you here being ex-jw's know this very familiar situation.

  Ok, this is a little odd for me...just need a little advice

  by A-Team in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ...there is a young lady at my workplace, who is a jw, and is sending the obvious signs that she at least has interest in me...even know that i will be a minister 'of the devil's church', as jws call it, as of june.

  i'm not going to lie, i think she's cute, and if she wants to talk, i would do it.

  one of my major questions is this: if i am not a jw, why would she have any intrest in a person that is apart of 'satan's system'?

  Where do you send your DA letter?

  by Rosie Angel in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i decided to leave the cult back in 2003, i didn't "fade," per se.

  i just ran away screaming, moved in with my non-believing boyfriend who lived out-of-state, and didn't leave a forwarding address.

  mwahaha.

  Ex-Witness English tutor encounters a current Witness tutee...

  by Rosie Angel in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've been tutoring this nice esl lady named patrice for awhile now.

  i knew she was a witness, since i saw her studying out of the revelation book, so i kept my guard up around her.

  somehow, though, i recognized an uncited passage from the nwt ecclesiastes in a paper, and i mentioned that she really needed to cite passages from the bible, just like any other book, so she used the odd witness citation.

  my husband and i visited with an old friend who is about to be disfellowshipped and guess what he told us:.

  car groups regularly drive by our house to check it out.

  an elder said he saw ... gasp ... a christmas tree this past christmas (which he had to have snuck a look through a side window because our front windows always have the shutters closed!.

  Why is the Watchtower Society so cruel to teens?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my mom just informed me that a 17 year old has been disfellowshipped at her hall.at least 7 others have been kicked out within the last 5 years.the publisher count is only 56 .why do they let the teens get baptized so young?

  i was 14 and only got baptized because of pressure and the end was coming.if you weren't baptized you would be destroyed.. why don't they wait until everyone is at leat 21?

  all these teens haven't come back and you won't ever see them unless they return.i haven't seen my cousin in over 2 years.no one went to his wedding,isn't invited to any family functions and is to be avoided at all costs.. the watchtower society should be ashamed that they act that way and the parents let them get away with it..
