What I love about "worldly" Bibles
by civicsi00 inwhen i was still a witness, i used to peek into "worldly" bibles just to see if there were any differences.
what i really loved about these so-called "worldly" bibles was that some of them changed the font color of jesus' words to red.
i always wished the society would bring more emphasis to jesus' words, maybe just putting them in bold or something.. anyone else ever feel this way?.

What is Divorce like for a Baptised JW
by survived75 incould you please tell me just what happens at the congregation level when a baptised brother gets divorced?.
does he just go ahead and do it legally or must he let the elders know?
the situation i am wondering about is a fellow who was separated from his non jw wife for several years after she quit attending the kh.

The Official What happened at the Memorial thread
by truthseeker ini thought rather than everyone start their own topic relating their experience of attending the memorial, we keep it simple and have just one thread.
if anything, it's saves bandwidth.. i will be going to the memorial tonight and will post my experiences afterwards.. all the other memorials i attended, i was an active jw, so this will be my first experience as a submarine witness.
it's weird being on the other side so to speak.

Any behavior you regret due to JW teaching
by happpyexjw indoes anyone wish they could make amends for mistakes made as a jw?
i tried very hard to follow the teachings very closely, right down to shunning some of my relatives who were df'd.
i also think i was very judgemental and hard on others..

Do They Tell You Where to Sit, Too?
by cameo-d ini was just reading a thread where someone was "seated" next to the same people year after year at memorial.. is this "seating" only done at memorial?.
are you allowed to have a preference to seat yourself?.
is there an unspoken mandatory seating arrangement?.

Did You Like Being Told What To Do When You Were A Witness?
by minimus ini think many jws enjoy not having to think, make crucial decisions or dwell on what life is all about.. it's much easier to follow orders and be a "sheep".. when you were a witness, were you independent or did you feel most comfortable being in the middle of the pack?.
