coming to terms with the truth about "the truth" is the most painful thing i've been through to date.

roland magunia/agence france-presse getty imagesby mark landlerpublished: july 3, 2008frankfurt when roger kusch helped bettina schardt kill herself at home on saturday, the grim, carefully choreographed ritual was like that in many cases of assisted suicide, with one exception.. ms. schardt, 79, a retired x-ray technician from the bavarian city of wurzburg, was neither sick nor dying.

Shunned again

by tak in

my son called me yesterday, first time in probably 6 weeks, because he lost his car keys, the car is in my name, so i had to get another set from the dealership.

anyways, it doesn't really matter what he called about, it was just in 6 weeks he only calls because he needs something, not a peep before that (very hurtful).

a brother drove him to my office and it was quittin time so i went outside with him and gave him the keys, i was hurt and didn't say much to him.

i know exactly how you feel except for in my case it is my parents... stupid effing cult. only love your children if they love your religion....

JW's unwritten dress code and personal appearance standards-FROM WHERE?

by Thechickennest in

one thing that always use to puzzle me was the personal appearance standards, espessially for meetings and service.

the men always were expected to where a tie, suit, jacket, etc.

no beards were allowed-mustaches were ok!

chellechelle

my hall was pretty strict.. no denim of any kind.. no thong type sandals, no stillettos or boots ( anything that was black was hooker boots) i wonder if anyone had ever actually seen hooker boots before???

Confusion about Bible reading

by faundy in

jw
friends

the society seems to make a huge thing about reading the bible daily, and yet they have a problem when people do so without the 'aids' - i.e the publications.

so is bible reading on its own frowned upon?

i never did it anyway, it was boring.

chellechelle

its all in the propoganda.. they know they cant teach soley with the bible because it is unbelievable... they need their interpretation to truly suck u dry
