Anyone have any 'Too close for comfort' moments with an elder ? (ladies)
by billie jean inhas anyone ever felt that an elder was perhaps 'coming on' to them ?
i remember three specific occasions where i was alone with these three elders in my congregation on seperate occasions and it just didnt feel right.
one where i was told i was "very attractive" and various other things he'd said made me nervous about my appearance, another where an elder took me to his car after a meeting in a dark car park and seemed to ask too many private questions and another time one of the elders who i thought always had his arms around young sisters too much took me to the 'back room' and sat far too close to me again references about my "attractive face" and other strange compliments.

Phobic about churches
by Mickey mouse ini am reading releasing the bonds at the moment and yet again steve hassan has brought to my attention a phobia i didn't even realise i had.
entering a church.
i remember on a couple of occasions being with jw's who refused point blank to enter a church even when they had cause to do so.

How are they convinced that armageddon is around the corner???
by milligal ini just read another thread about the co changes and plans for upcoming persectution.
i can speak for america and say that out constitution is based on religious freedom-this is the same constitution the society hides behind in all of their 'champion' court cases where they defend their right to go in the door to door ministry.
this country is sooooo far from turning against any religion, that we are even allowing terrorist religions to remain as long as they don't act against anyone (please no thread hijacking about that : ).. how in god's name do the jw's think the government is going to turn against religion and start persecuting them, and armagedon is to follow -right 'around the corner'????.

by billie jean ini never believed a word of any of it !.
raised a j.w from birth, i'd sit in the meetings and at conventions wondering what the hell it was all about and that it was all one big joke and imagine that they''d all suddenly turn around laughing and pointing at me !!
saying something like "haha the joke's on you".

Perfect Love
by Aculama inlet me run this by you all and see what you think.
it seems to me that every individual has their own ideas about everything from religion to politics.
these ideas are formed and shaped by many things ( station in life, parents, social background, education, ect.).
