Born-ins (childhood memories)

by tornapart in

as a born in, or in at a very young age, what were your worst memories as a young jw child?.

i remember not being allowed to go to sleep in the meetings when i was tired.

not being allowed to do lots of things at school other kids could do.

Broken Promises

The fear of meeting one of your schoolmates while out in service was probably the worst.

The kids also thought I was a lesbian because I couldn't show any interest in boys

wardrobe 'malfunction' while in service

by nuthouse escapee in

busy street, lots of houses.

felt something clinging to back of my leg.

elastic waistband of my slip died and my slip was hanging 6 inches below my dress.. anyone else have an embarrassing service tale to share?.

i am delighted to announce that after a difficult conception, a longer than hoped for gestation period, a higher cost than i had hoped for, and all the associated gubbins, the delivery was successful:.

my divorce decree absolute!.

When will men ever learn?

Congrats on the divorce/anullment. Try not letting your smaller head make your decisions in the future.

A thread for those who have no support system or a place to go due to shunning.

reading the recent thread about the young lady who just ended her life got me thinking that maybe there could be a thread that is easily accessible to anyone who may need help due to homelessness from losing their families and friends to shunning.

too often i hear stories about people who have lost everything, and have no where to go, and at the same time having no type of support system.

unfortunately there are some who are so lost that they feel that there are no options besides taking their own life.. i think that a website that matches people in need to others who can help in some way would be a great idea.

CJ,

You and your partner are wonderful people for offering assistance. I hope that if there's someone who genuinely needs help in the Texas area, they will contact you.

I live in Australia, so if there's any Aussies reading this who'd like someone to chat to/be friends with, PM me.

Love you CJ

WT and the Illuminati - truth or fiction?

by SnowQueen in

i've been reading around this subject of late and it seems to make a lot of sense.

i'm wondering if anyone is convinced and/or has seen anything that can substantiate or corroborate the 'facts' set out in these arguments.. http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/bloodlines/russell.htm.

i was particularly fascinated to read the following:.

Broken Promises

Even if he wasnt an official Mason, he aspired to be one and used their symbols even on his own grave.

Is there any proof to his "aspiring to be one"? Anyway, aspiring to be one still doesn't make one a Mason.

And the pyramid grave wasn't made at Russell's request. His followers got it made that way due to his teachings re the Great Pyramid of Giza.

There are no records that prove that Russell was ever a Mason.

Yes, he used "Masonic" symbols, but so did many others that weren't Masons. It was simply a fad at the time to do so.

And there was a thread on here not long ago that showed that CT Russell wasn't from the rich Russells that are supposedly of the Illiminati.

And as steve2 said, the non-partaking thing didn't start until the 1930s. And even then large numbers of JWs were still partaking. If it was intended to be a Satanic ritual, why didn't Russell implement it from the beginning??

I wish ppl would do their own research than simply believe whatever they read in a book. No wonder so many fell for the JWs if they can't think for themselves.
