  My Daughters House Burned Down

  by Babyruth in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my daughters house burned down and her and her husband and three children got out with just the jammies on their back.

  when her husband called his parents ( dad is elder and both parents are regular pioneers) the next morning, they told him they were sorry that they were unable to come and help as 'big wig' brother, head of the branch had just died and they were going to be with his grieving wife and son!?!

  it's been a week now and they are still a no-show as they are too busy with their bible studies and service to even see their son and three grandchildren.

  College and the Watchtower: Remember One Thing

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if any of you lurkers listen to a rant by the society against college, remember one thing:.

  the brother giving the talk is probably an utter hypocrite.. there are a few exceptions but consider that many elders are financially secure - which allows them to be elders.

  while they talk about not planning for the future because armageddon 'is so close', they have pensions, ira's, roth accounts and investments.

  In a funeral... or when the JWs want to show they're different

  by hijosdelawatch in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a couple of days ago i went to the funeral of an old age brother in his 80s.. well, that was the typical jw funeral although his daughter and the rest of his family are not witnesses.

  as you know the brothers don't wear black clothes nor they show lot of sadness as a "prove" they believe in resurrection.. the problem this time is some of them went too far.

  two sisters had red clothing and at the entrance a group of brothers were literally laughing.

  Had a Frustrating Discussion with Mom...

  by tenyearsafter in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my 80 something year old mom is a die hard jw, but to her credit, she has not shunned me.

  as would be expected, she is always "praying" that i return to jah and get reinstated.

  is consistent...every time my wife and i see her, she always tries to steer the conversation to "how bad the world" has become.. today, she escalated the "theocratic attack" by coming out directly and asking me what i thought of world conditions.

  by highdose in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  did you ever encounter jw's who claimed to be able to "sense" when somthing "dodgy" read demon posscessed was in the room?.

  i've got several jw relatives who reckon that jehovah protects them by allowing them to sense this... "i always had a funny feeling about that lump of coral!".

  iteams they have thrown out ( and in one case also run over several times with a bicycle just in case there was any residual demons left in it) are :.

  JW's Thoughts on Medical Cannabis

  by bushido8000 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've wondered this for sometime.

  to all of the jws on the forum, what is your opinion on medical cannabis?

  i support it for a couple of reasons.. 1. i've battled clinical depression since age 9. after my anti-depressants stopped working when i was 21, i heard about cannabis' positive effects on depression through the internet and a couple of documentaries so i tried it.
