And this was how it was a little ok to go to college...
by Inquisitor ini don't know how the situation sits with the congregations these days in light of certain overt anti-education directives.. see seeker4's thread fallout from gb anti-college.... but where i grew up as a witness... there was an unwritten loophole (among the r&f) that made going to university "palatable" to the witnesses.. if you were going to uni to be trained it certain professions it was deemed worth the sacrifice made.
it was believed that:.
lawyers could defend the wts from the menace of government oppression, aiding in the release of incarcerated bros and sis.. lawyers would have sharp oratory skills.

Some really friendly witnesses
by Junction-Guy ini never thought i would ever say anything positive about jw's, but after attending a funeral last week, i must say they were some of the friendliest people i have seen in quite awhile, luckily for me, i already know their religion is a lying croc, but still i was treated with the utmost respect.
just something a little positive to share, to balance out the negative.

Like the friend or relative you take for granted.....
by Number 6 in.. the loss of them doesnt really sink in until you realise what you have lost or are about to lose so before i cannot post anymore and the jwd closes a few thoughts...... ------------------------------------------------------------------------.
if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things.
because all the evidence in fulfilment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years.. of the generation that observed the beginning of the 'last days' in 1914, jesus foretold: 'this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.

what angers you about the truth
by stillajwexelder inthis angers me .
elders who will not make shepherding calls to comfort their brothers and sisters but as soon as that brother or sister puts one little foot out of line those same f-----g (sorry about the language but it really angers me ) elders can not move fast enough to form a judicial committee and then are so unmerciful - it makes me want to vomit literally

But I just got here...
by startingovernow ini've been on this board for less than a week and now l learn that is closing.
i came here to heal.
hearing experiences from others that show that it wasn't all in my head, that i was gaslighted by jw's has helped.

live with jehovahs day in mind and children
by lancelink ini was looking over this book today, and ran into an interesting situation.
on this site, and in the news, the comment has been made quite often regarding how children seem to be leaving the organization in droves.
but this book keeps hitting on how adults and kids should put god and his service first, yet their is an undercurrent of desperation .
