Religion & Morals
by Sadie5 inmy hubby and i come from different backgrounds.
although neither was raised as a jw, he was in a very religious household.
as kids they were forced to read the bible everyday after school, while the neighborhood kids played outside.

Hi Everyone! I'm homeless now!
by Yizuman ini just arrived there yesterday afternoon where my bro-in-law dropped me off.
my first night's sleep wasn't exactly eventful since there is no beds available and i have to sleep on the pews which my body doesn't exactly agree with hard wood and no cushion on it.
so i didn't sleep very well.

On the flip side... a question for those not raised as a jw
by TheSilence inokay, someone recently asked if those raised as jws felt they would have gone for it as adults.
my question is for those of you not raised as a jw, what convinced you that it really was "the truth"?
ive often wondered and come upon my own theories as to why people join this religion, but i find that when friends ask me what makes people join i cant really answer in a way that they understand.. jackie

Going to a City Council Meeting tonight.
by Sadie5 inlooks like it is going to be interesting.
one family has owned a certain property since 1932. one of the family members and his wife place a single wide mobile home on part of it in 1984. at the time it was outside the city limits and in a rural setting.
the city has grown over the past two decades and has annexed a lot of rural property.

When householders take the mags
by Sadie5 inthere is a homemaking type board that i visit and some of the ladies there were complaining about jws that just keep coming back.
being nice, they had accepted the mags and then threw them in the trash.
one ladies noticed that the same jw showed up every few weeks with a different person and gave her the new magazines.

it's a bit different from what we are hearing.
