I have voted for the first time in my life!
by GermanXJW intoday is a historical day for me.
today i got up early but instead of going to the kh as i used to for years, i went to the election office to vote in the current election for the german bundestag.. for years, i had a political opinion and hoped that "my" representative wins.
this time i did my part to ensure this by voting.. it is a strange feeling: being part of this system.

despite everyone telling me how great it was, i was like "yeah whatever"...huge mistake...that movie rocked so much!!

LOCAL NEEDS TALKS, ANY YOU REMEMBER?
by minimus inone of the best tools the elders have to counsel the congregation is the local needs part.
how does one usually get picked for this talk?
generally, during an elder's meeting, one elder will have his pet peeve.he convinces the body that this issue has to be handled by the body.

Do you think that some Ex-Jw's
by kenpodragon indo you think that some ex-jw's still hold to the type of thinking of active jw's.
in that they like to argue every single point out to the point that the other side does not even care anymore, and wonders why anyone even took it that far.
i am not quoting any exact example, but i have been on enough sites to know that there always seems to be a few who like to do this on all sites.

discrimination if your fathers not an elder
by smiler inits sad to think that if you are in the 'truth' that discrimination is so blatant, this works in your favour if you happen to be male and have the 'privalage' of being an elder.
as this will mean that as an elder he will probably be aware of any persons attending the kh who have had allegations made against them or convicted of child abuse.
if the 'privalaged' elder has children of his own then he is in a better position to protect his children from abuse or contact with the abuser.

MARTHA'S VINEYARD ANYONE???????
by sisteract inanyone from martha's vineyard congregation?
that's pretty much where it all began with me and the "truth" , would love to chat regarding people, places and things from times past.
i walked out back in 1997 (i was not living on the island at that time), and would love to hear from only those that have also left the jw"s from the island.
