Shunning & JWs on Miami Ink TV Show
by doinmypart inmiami ink is a show about tattooing, it airs on u.s. cable channel tlc.
the show highlights the work of the tattoo artists and tells the background of why a person gets a particular tattoo.. on last week's show a young lady wanted what she referred to as a "conscience" tattoo.
when i heard "conscience" my ears perked up.

Are JW's allowed to go to Alcoholic's Anonomous?
by digderidoo ini went to an aa meeting tonight for the first time in a few weeks.
after about 6 weeks of attempting to control my drinking in a social way, i feel that it best to go the abstinence route as i wasn't really enjoying it.. anyway i got to thinking afterwards whether jw's are allowed to go to them?
i have heard how some elders disaprove of them because it's classed as a spriitual program.

I know my mom went at least a few times. That was when she was admitting she was an alcoholic. She didn't drink for a year or so. I don't think anyone in her cong. knew so I am not sure if they are allowed or not. Something tells me no b/c they should be relying on the elders, Jeh, and prayer instead.

Big News or rumor!
by Burger Time ina friend just informed me that the c/o in his hall will be instructing the elders that anyone with a child in college will be stripped of privileges in the hall.
i am not sure if this is true this is just what i was told.
it could be that it is only a campaign directed at him as he has some ties to ex-jw's and some how got found out.

This is utter lunacy!! I remember it was always frowned upon if someone "let" their kids go to school. They wouldn't have their "privledges" taken away but they were always looked down on. This doesn't make any sense. I mean the more money members make the more they can donate right?
Nothing ceases to amaze me anymore!

Do you ever think of going back to a meeting?
by digderidoo inok this is for all of you who don't attend anymore.. i had a friend come over last night.
we've been best mates since we were kids, he was brought up in the ' truth ', but left a number of years ago.
we talk about just everything.

Yes I sometimes do think about it. But then I wake up from my nightmare and realize it isn't really happening, it was all just a bad dream.
It would give me an opportunity to really tell them what I think though!!!

Children Who Leave Always Come Back to the Society
by ataloa ini heard this in a car group one day.
a young single mother said she always heard that growing up.
when she left she was adamant she would never be back, and now here she was.. is this true for the most part?.

It is quite common. Being that JW's live a very sheltered life, it is difficult for them to adjust to the "world". And a lot of people cannot handle being shunned by their family. It is tough!
When I left, I remember I didn't have one single friend b/c I would not associate with anyone who was "worldly" before I left the religeon. My first friend was a guy from work who I hung out with. His name was Costa, he was a great guy! I gradually made friends from there but it was a tough few years...all the friends I have now are true friends though b/c they like me for me, not b/c I belong to the same cult as them.
I remember when I was still in, the majority of young people that got disfellowshipped always came back. Even if it was just to lead a double life!
