Would YOU Stop Wearing Cologne Or Perfume At A KH If Someone Had Allergies?
by minimus inwe had a few that would start coughing if someone wore a fragrance.
they would make a big deal about anyone wearing cologne and say such ones were not loving and considerate.
some elders would recommend that witnesses should not wear any cologne or perfume, if they loved their brother or sister.

How many of you were baptised at a young age?
by lepermessiah inone thing this site has made me reflect on the baptism practice in jw land.. many of us were raised in the religion, thus you were given the pressure early on to shoot for baptism as a goal.. i remember feeling bad because i waited until the ripe old age of 14 to take the plunge.. looking back, i realize that when i was 14, i didnt even know what my favorite color was, let alone have enough knowledge to make a life altering decision.
yet, growing up in that climate, i would say anyone who waited past their early teens to get baptised was viewed with great suspicion and was likely to be viewed as "bad association".
kids who took the dip at 8-9 years of age were viewed as "wise beyond their years" and the like.. how old were some of you when you were baptised, and what are your feelings on the matter?.

A "Brother" wore a WT logo tie tack today
by JerkhovahsWitless inafter the meeting, a few people came up to show me some fake love like the wt lesson instructed (this is my 4th meeting in a row in over a year of not going, yuck!!).
i noticed one of them was wearing a tie tack of the watchtower logo.
its ok to idolize, by wearing, the corporate symbol of a worldwide multi-billion dollar company, but a cross is wrong?

JWs having Facebook Sex - Strongly warned to get off FB at CA yesterday
by shopaholic inso it appears that jws are letting their freaky side come out on fb for everyone to see.. there was talk on the ca yesterday strongly warning all true lovers of jehovah to delete their fb accounts.
the talk was solely about fb.
the speaker mentioned that jws are associating with people that would not associate with in real life, often using the excuse that the person is a relative.

Do you know all of the Watchtower's failed predictions? I doubt it.
by TMS inas a longtime jw, i knew about 1925, 1975, the failed original expectation of 1914, etc.
in the first bible studies i conducted, we taught that the great tribulation began in 1914 but was "cut short" in 1918 on account of the chosen ones, that some flesh would be saved.
the great tribulation was said to have been in abeyance.

Today was my first time at the Kingdumb Hell is over a year
by JerkhovahsWitless ini've been to conventions, assemblies and the memorial, but not the hall in a very long time.
i would have liked to of kept it that way, but with my idiot family telling other jws from other congregations that i don't go to meetings anymore, its starting to spread around from everyone's gossip.
add that to some of the not so fond of the wt statements i've made to a few "friends" who've distorted and repeated it to their friends, and i'm looking like a real bad guy.. looking like that is causing it very hard for my one friend, who is seeing the light and wants out of the cult, to be able to talk, text message or see me in person because he lives with parents and they don't want him associating with me since i'm not going to cult meetings.

Forwarded JW email: proof of the Nephilim!
by JimmyPage inand the bible again was right.... all the ones who are familiarized, with the bible know about the nephilim.
as related in the bible, these man of ancient times, apparently descenced from the heavens (they were angels), having been atracted by women on the earth....for that reason they took form of men, abandoning their original spiritual nature.
that bible account, leaves many perplexed, which is very understandable, if you don t believe in god, but now archaeologist, have found rest of abnormal big skeletons....what at least make you think of the accuracy of the bible.. .
