  Words that irritate

  by punkofnice in

  2. friends

  i have words that irritate me and not always without reason.. my latest hate is the word: 'solutions' as used by so many businesses in their title these days.

  y'know, 'something innane business solutions' and such balderdash.. i loathe that word now.

  arrrrggghhhhhh!

  newbie to site looking for fellow DF's and DA's (or anyone else who has good conversation to offer)

  i am new to the site.

  i started perusing it this weekend and wish i had found it 10 years ago when i was on my way out.

  anyways, long story short, was df'd for you guessed it...fornication or "loose conduct" even though i had been a pioneer with an elder father, grandfather and uncle and no previous issues.

  Name the GOOD things and NICE things about Jehovah's Witnesses

  by stuckinarut2 in

  ok, so in the interests of balance....(as it has rightly been pointed out that i am getting more bitter toward the org), can we think of any positive or nice things about jehovah's witnesses?.

  just throwing this topic out there....... .

  Need some input: Wife refuses to respect what I believe

  i had a rough time with my wife last week.

  i guess i started the fight by telling her that her love is conditional.

  ( and the fight started).

  Disassociating: Is now the time ?

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  a couple of thoughts on da ing that i have just had, prompted by the latest cases coming to court over historic child abuse.. my first thought was, although i have resisted being df'd, and have not voluntarily da'd for family reasons, i am now thinking perhaps it is too embarrassing to not publically be disassociated from this paedophile paradise.. i feel i wish to let the community know that i have nothing to do with the jw's anymore.. my second thought is that if i do decide to take the step of da ing myself, i will not send the da letter to the congregation elders, but to the local newspapers, so that my reasons for da ing are known to all jw's locally, straight from me, not from twisted rumours.. i may have to pay to have it published, but so what.. thoughts ?.

  If you go this route ensure it's worded to where the Watchtower can't come back on you for slander or libel.

  yes--that was my immediate thought too----maybe taking legal advise first would be wise.

  can you post a copy of your letter on jwn if you do go ahead.? i like the idea. hopefull more will take the same route.

  BTTT / Marked topics

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  i've noticed a lot of topics being bumped recently with "bttt" (back to the top) comments or "marked" as the reply.. i'd appreciate if people think twice before doing this.

  simply forcing topics back to the top even though there is nothing to say on them is not helpful and negates the usefulness of having an active topics view.

  if everyone did this with every topic they want to push then things would quickly deteriorate so i don't believe some should be allowed to do it for whatever reason.. by all means post new and relevent comments to a topic but short esp single-word non-comments that are simply used to push certain topics back to the top are likely to be interpreted as spam and removed or blocked if necessary.. .

  The "invisible" Elephant in the room: ELDERLY JW's nobody provides for

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  question: how does the leadership of jehovah's witnesses instruct its members to prepare for the eventual elder care of its members?.

  answer: it pretends it will never happen!.

  is this responsible leadership or some kind of cognitive dissonant malfeasance?.

  since this thread was started--my 93 year old jw dad has gone into a care home ( since jan last year ). it meant a move from 1 congregation to an ajoining one--but he is well known here--since 1971.

  for most of the last year no elders have been near him. he had regular visits from a 90 y.o sister who lived nearby. but she died.

  my daughter---43--has never visited him at all--she lives less than a mile away.

  he was a well loved brother---in it for over 50 years--was an elder once.

  now--hes only got me--the apostate.
