it seems in most congregations there is always the same personality types of brothers and sisters in each congregation.
self righteous ones.
holier than thou, exemplary, with dc/ca parts every year family.
There are the socialites who are always having parties and only inviting "the beautiful people."
Also there is a fashion monitor that goes around telling other sisters that their neckline is too low, hemline too high,telling the young brothers their hair is too long, they need to shave, etc.
field service for up to twenty-four hours non-stop.... it's a bit of a fad in our area with pioneers - the twenty somethings especially.
we've heard from other family members and a jw friend that it's a thing in their part of the country as well.. it sounds like a group decides on a day and then piles into a van or suv to 'work' the territory - 12, 18 and even 24 hours.. anyone else hearing of this?.
ginger.
The young ones in our area would load up in a van and head down the interstate, stoping at truck stops and gas stations. The would turn around after twelve hours and work the other side of the interstate. Everyone in the van counted 24 hours. It was mostly for easy time and socializing.
my first grandson, and he is beautiful.
i remember so clearly thinking i would never graduate from high school in this "system of things".. .
this boy will play soccer/football/basketball/band/baseball/camp, whatever the h, e, double l, he is passionate about.. .
Congrats! Grandkids are so much fun...I love mine.
could this be the home run swing when it comes to waking up a spouse?
could it work?
yesterday i was checking out this website http://howcultswork.com/.
There have been articles in the Watchtower and Awake explaining why Jehovahs Witnesses are NOT a cult. BUT if they were NOT a cult, they wouldn't HAVE to have these articles.
some strange things are happening.. 1. wife started smoking.
2. wife agreed that the whole "clean up after armageddon while growing to perfection" thing is all speculation.. 3. as i was going to the meeting tonight (i had a part and kids are sick so she stayed in) she says "do you have to go?"..
4. when i got home she says " i wanna go out and party..... hmmmmmm.
Sounds like she has one foot out!
just saw this and thought i would pass it along .
its about a young jw who died.
because of jw blood policy.
This is so sad what happened to this family. The Watchtower has to be brought down, brick by brick, piece by piece.
i would like to thank everyone for the discussions that we've all had.
after all of them i have realized, all of you have made me realized that after all of the stuff i have been through, i just need a good friend.
and regardless of how hostile our discussion could get i have felt that you have all shared something with me that have helped me.
We welcome all back here. This is a forum and not the Kingdom Hall, which does not like open discussion and forbids questions regarding their doctrine.
why can't i say something without someone immature trying to be a smart ass or trying to fight everything i say and use it against me?
comments welcome.
.
I have found more loving and caring people on JWN than I ever found in all my fifty plus years at the Kingdom Hall. At the KH the love is conditional on following all the many, many rules set out from the pages of the Watchtower.
my question is, why do so many think the watchtower bible tract society is a cult?
.
Brother Mike, dear, you are on a web site that is not approved by the Watchtower Society. If you tell your elders and fellow congregation members you were here you will be called into the libraryright after the meeting!
well ive missed my 5th meeting in a row..decided to watch football/soccer instead.
wife has also missed 4 in a row...still havent discussed ttatt
Feels great to miss the meetings, doesn't it?
