Labeling people "worldly"
by JimmyPage inby using the label "worldly" the wt shortchanges people.
the same people it quotes as authorities in its magazines can also be easily dismissed if their opinion disagrees with the wt viewpoint by simply stating that after all, those persons are "worldly".
but those who use this term also shortchange themselves.

What did you think about "apostates" when you were JW?
by Albert Einstein ini spent 17 years in jws, first 11 were very zealous.
i feel very stupid now to admitt - but until several months ago i really believed "apostates" and all people who left jws were kind of arogant, nasty, agresive, proud and i was afraid of getting in touch with them.. i remember finding coc book in a bookstore and (since i was very curious...) i touched it (with a great guilt feeling), opend it, and read it for maybe 2 minutes.... i was so afraid it will affect me somehow badly .... and that i will displease god by doing it .... i felt so bad by sining this way .... now i see there are more kind people among those who left, than in wtbs..... i started meeting some "apostates" in my town, i see they are more reasonable and often more spiritual than jws ... it is like coming out of the darkness ...... could you believe i was such an idiot?.
what about your experience?.

Former Hardcore Elder Now In and Out of Psych Ward (long)
by neverendingjourney ini was informed recently that a former hardcore, dyed-in-the-wool elder (lets call him elder a) has been in and out of a mental ward recently.
it came as a surprise at first, but upon further reflection, it really isnt that surprising.
let me give you some background.. my childhood up through elementary school was played out in the 80s.

JW's are a small club....JWD types...we are VERY small club......
by oompa inthat worldwide brotherhood thingy is real for the most part......i have traveled all over and it came in handy many a time.
i liked how there was an instant bond with someone you just met, and you had so much in common.
one time on a long vacation......at a very exclusive tropical place......a couple gave us their resort home for several days while they were out of town....i had just met them at the kh that morning..... anyhoo.....the thing is....i have had the same experience with those i have met from jwd......talk about an even smaller club!......but there is an instant bond, and fast friendship.....two couples in particular i had over for dinner once.....we had talked on phone and here too, but it was like being with old friends........oompa.

mother's and thier lame reasons.my question is than why do they clap when a talk is give at a. kh.,s.a.d.
district conventions,because when you look at the history and background of clapping.. you will see the orgin of this pagan practise.example,clapping during roman gladiator fight.can.
