I was puzzled...
by Shadow1 inon the weekend, my jw wife and i were invited to her sister's home for dinner, to celebrate my wife's daughter's reinstatement.
shortly before the meal, my sil informed me that her family always says a prayer before the meal.
here's the thing...she asked me if i would be offended!

Did YOU "Do More!" & Yet Feel Worse?
by minimus ineveryone was always being told, "do more" and you'll feel better!
if you're depressed, simply do more!
if your life trying to be a good jw was getting to you, you were admonished to stop thinking about your problems and just do more!

Was it better to be an elder's wife, or a CO's wife?
by AlmostAtheist ina friend of mine was asking about the cult we all hold so dear, and i was explaining some of it to her.
i told her about elder's wives, and how they have both the prestige of that position, plus the social standing.
logically, it would be even better for a co's wife.

JW membership turnover - a real-life study
by besty inmuch has been commented here on how jw's rely on an ever-changing membership for keeping their 'the sky is falling, the world is ending' doctrine fresh.. recently it was posted that fully 2/3 of born-in jw's leave at some point, and i thought you might like to see how this works in practice.. so lets take sam and i and our extended families - we were both born and brought up jw's.
start with me.
mum and dad were converted in the 1950's.

Poem from dub friend.
by searchingforfriends ini got this in an e-mail from a childhood friend that is still an active jw.
i found it to be very upsetting and was wondering if anyone else gets the kind of e-mail forwards from friends/family that are still in?
and how you handle it.

What the Hades is going on at the local Kingdom Hall?
by AK - Jeff inthe kh that i attended has always held it's meetings on sunday morning, and still does.
even on the days when the co visits there are normally only a handful of cars left in the parking lot after 3 pm, as the co typically quits service and heads home by 3 or 4, and besides, if you are not in his group it is usually 'take a few doors, count an hour, and get home in time to watch the game' attitude.
so today i drive by after work - it is 4 pm when i pass the kingdom hall, and the damned parking lot is just packed - maybe 45 or 50 cars in the lot.
