Has an elder ever made a difference in your life?
by monkeyman inok, i've read a lot of horror stories out there about outrageous shepherding calls so i know they exist.
i've also been on several and received 2.. however, as an elder i thought i was pretty capable at helping people and making a difference in their lives.
i've had people tell me so over and over which was quite comforting to me after i was unceremoniously removed.. so here's my question......has anyone out there ever been the recipient of the kind of loving care from elders that made a positive difference in your life?

those stupid sister talks!
by highdose inam just remembering the awful headache that came with having to put say " how do we know that mary was a virgin?
" subject matter , into a "first call" setting with a " work on gestures" ... all together into a script that would kinda make sense!!
all in 5 mins with at least 2 scriptures used, both of which normaly seemed to have nothing to do with the subject matter!.

Do you think ex Jehovah's Witnesses make better people?
by kriptonian7 ini am new to this forum and i just stumbled upon it and have been intrigued with the comments and experiences.
i have not been envolved for a long time now but my entire family is still is.
grandparents, mother, my step dad, and my entire family on my grandmothers side.. but most everyone here, from what i have noticed, has strengthened my belief that if you were a jw at one point, you now are a stronger and better person for it.

Give a brief description of what is the Watchtower Society and the JWS organization
by The Almighty Homer inif you were to give a brief description of what you know already of this organization, how would you define it yourself ?.
.
my definition would be a an exploitive and manipulating free wheeling religious publishing company.. i might add none of this would have been at all possible without the freedom of religion policy of the united states.. it very well started out that way and continues to this very day.. intellectually dishonest but very commercial in its intension.. .

Creationist Evolution
by GapingMouth ini've been having some small but effective chats with my wife of late.
she is, i hope, starting to think about some things a bit better now regarding the wts.
when i told her of the rule about not hugging in the prayer, she thought it so absurd and thought i was telling lies until she saw it herself.

"The way of the truth is the best way of living. No better way can there be found."
by nicolaou in"the way of the truth is the best way of living.. no better way can there be found.".
remember that?
it's the opening line to 'make the truth your own'.

Are you searching?
by wantstoleave inwhen i expressed my doubts about my beliefs to my parents the other day, my mom said that 'no matter what people do, they are always searching for something.
if it's not this religion, which one will you go to?'.
she gave the example that practically since time began, people have been clinging to hope in some form or another, namely religion.
