Did You Get Sick Of "Waiting On Jehovah"?
by minimus ini hated it when i heard elders and other witnesses tell a suffering person, "just wait on jehovah".
if a person continued waiting (and suffering) they were told that jehovah was "allowing" them to be tested.
too many people waited for nothing!.

i was born a jw, never baptized, was labeled bad association when i was 12 due to having all worldy friends and smoking, lol.

JW PARROT
by iknowall558 ina man went to a pet shop and purchased a parrot.
it belonged to a jehovah's witness because it kept repeating, "read the watchtower and awake", "avoid worldly association", "the end of the system is near".
squawk!.

nothing really from a spiritual aspect, which was fine by me.

marriage vows...
by lurk3r ini had a bit of a chin-wag with a freind of mine the other day.
we were talking about the questions that "nobody knows" and as witnesses, you can never get an answer for.

more money?
by rockmehardplace inhere is my observation - i was with a few other jws this morning and one of them asked what we were each doing with our now "free" night since the book study change.
answers ranged from evening field service to family study.
when we were discussing this, one brother mentioned that he has not saved any money on gas because he still drives past the kh to get home.

Would I still be a JW in Europe?
by Brocephus inso some of the interesting things i have learned from this forum:.
1. italy jw's have powerful powers to predict earthquakes and other natural disasters.. 2. spain jw's have choir with cool uniforms and preform at assembly halls.. 3. danish jw's drank light beer until very recently at their conventions.. so i pose this question: are european jw's given more slack than american counterparts?
do you think a european jw would be shocked at the rigidness of american jw's?

Jehovah Chose the Jehovah's Witnesses by Giving Them a Load of Coal!
by VM44 inin the1975 yearbook of jehovah's witnesses on page 121, it says:upon brother rutherfords return to the societys pittsburgh offices, he instructed the societys vice-president, c. a. wise, to go to brooklyn and see about reopening bethel and renting premises where the society could begin printing operations.
the conversation went like this:.
"go and see whether it is the lords will for us to return back to brooklyn.".
