  what toys did you all ways want but couldnt have because you were a jw!

  i was lucky not to be born into the jw's, so i had pretty much every toy i wanted .... actionman (g.i joe) with all the guns, tanks wonderful 2nd world war uniforms, toy soldiers cavalry, indians, cowboys, knights,castles and forts.. six million dollar man, lone ranger and tonto, toy cars matchbox captin scarlett, thunder birds, loads of guns to run around playing war.. great days.

  (of course my sisters had dolls and prams, barbies cindys, play make up).

  i know having spoken to jws born into it certain toys were of limits for some kids.. a good friend told me how he loved action man and played with them constantly, until one day he came home and saw them all by the door in a. card board box.. when he asked his mum what she was doing.. she told him "do you really think jehovah wants you to play war, you can keep one of them but he cant have any guns and fight people".

  typical witnesses !!!

  a friend of mine x jw like myself, works as a window cleaner on a road where a family of active jws live.

  he watched a situation develop over a say a year were they started a bible study with a local neighbour and eventually he became a jw himself.. now this fella was a bit of a odd bod, looked odd, dressed odd, generally made people feel a little uncomfortable, but not a bad person lets use an often used phrase in england "an eccentric".. well of course he showed a little bit of interest, pherhaps he was lonely.

  well of course he was really fussed over by is local jw neighbours, bible study,.

  DO WE HAVE TO KNOW WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT!

  by warmasasunned in

  hey i left the j's almost twenty years ago, like you i had my reasons for joining and my reasons for leaving.. i've matured alot as you tend to do as you grow older, so maybe i've lost touch with alot of my idealistic thinking, insercurities and basic stupidity.. as much as i would love it, that there was an after life, where you can once again enjoy the love of lost love ones, its not the over whelming driving force of my life.. because of that i think i am a much happier person, i live for now, i basically belive, all options an evidence taken into account that this is it no god, no religion, no truth.. of course that is not a mantra set in stone i am not right and you are wrong, and my god it would be so great if this was all a big joke!.

  but for me i get on with it, not looking for god, not looking for truth.

  happy to just wait an see.. what about you?.

  i am sure that this question as been asked before.

  when i think of my life now,a lovely kind beautiful wife, two happy healthy kids, good job, nice home, real friends.

  yes since i left the jws almost twenty years ago i can honestly say i have lived my life.. when i eventually left the death by bordem cult ... i had nothing, a loveless marraige i only stayed in because of the jws, no friends, no home to call my own, in debt, i had a wife who was so depressed she shooped to make herself happy.

  spoke to my xwife for the first time in 14yrs via facebook.

  we were in the witnesses together we left about twenty years ago got divorced almost straight away we were never suited i liked sex and she didn't (i'm very ugly).. anway a few years later she went back, i got the sermon of course "you should comeback its the truth" i put her straight on that one, her eyes glazed over as i spoke and she went her merry way.. 14years later i pop her name into facebook there she is tattos and spouting politics animal rights (not very jw they ignore all that of course).

  dropped her a line, caught up, shes got four kids (she likes sex now, told you i was ugly).

  what was the jw`s high water mark?

  by warmasasunned in

  1. jw

  when were the jw`s at there peak.

  i remember when i became a witness in 1986 there seemed to be almost an electricity in the air in my part of the world nottingham england (for all those outside the uk where robinhood legend comes from).. when we went on the ministry there would sometimes be as many as 60 people mainly in there early twenties, we couldnt fit in one room and had to stand outside sometimes, now when i see the jw`s out and about there maybe 4 or 5 in number mainly old people.. i remember those days, coming to the end of the cold war, berlin wall coming down, band aid (feet of clay prophecy) peace and sercurity etc etc, it seemed arrmageddon was just round the corner, of course the jw`s still had there sell by date then (1914 gen).

  was that when the witnesses were at there strongest.
