  so after almost 5 months of not attending meeting, today my husband decided to attend the special talk.

  i am sad, frustrated, nervous, but also hopeful that he will see something that he never did before .

  lies and manipulation.

  Welcome to all the newbies and lurkers that have joined this forum lately.

  i`m sure you have all noticed the ever increasing number of newbies and lurkers who have visited this site over the past months and i am sure we could all collectively welcome them to this site and support them on learning the ttatt .

  and helping them to navigate how they can look up older publications and quotes of the wtb&ts that they would rather remain hidden.. we all know jehovah`s witnesses /governing body never apologizes for mistakes they make they just don`t mention them anymore and explain it away as new light from god.. actually a big cop out.. welcome to all you who are new to this site .. every day their seems to be someone new posting which is great .. and if this is any indication of what is happening in all other ex jw sites the wtb&ts are in deep trouble .

  The year i was DF i went... the attendant rushed to grab the bread/wine so it couldnt be passed to me. Just as well he did really because i was going to chin the wine.

  Holy spirit was working that day.

  Please help.... depressed jw teen

  2. family

  i think i’m going insane.... i’m 17 years old and being raised in a jw household.

  i really want friends and a boyfriend but i can’t have that because my parents are jw and i’m also homeschooled.

  they are those jw parents that refuse to let me go to public school because of bad influences.

  I dont understand why KH's are less attractive than churches

  by nowawake14 in

  i mean, come on.

  if they call themselves the "true", then why are most kingdom halls not as attractive as churches and dont do any better?.

  My belief is they are done so plan and practical for resale value/ adaptability.

  The typical KH wouldnt need much imagination adapt and to be bought by a call center/office space/vets/doctors surgery/outlet store etc etc etc.

  Where as an ornate church... dosnt really have alot of scope and puts the property in a niche market.

  A shop or company name above the door wouldnt look out of place. Would you agree?

  Maybe if the law starts punishing the elders personally it might help speed up change
