  Not even a second name? No credentials, no insight to what its about.

  I imagine response levels will be low. Can you supply more information on who "Charlie" is and what he is planning on doing? Further info may help.

  It's time

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we got a call from close jw family, that it is now time to visit the kingdom hall again because armagedon is a question of a few months.

  now it will happen in a very close time, the brothers say so, was the message.. i had earlier the feeling that jw's think the time has arrived because what they say and what they do, work like mad men with their chart every weekend.. so the expetations are high.. gorby's wife replied "how do you know, you should not know day and hour".

  stay alert was the reaction.. so sad and so stupid.. g. .

  in the image you can see what jw wrote about how galileo was treated by the catholic church.

  now they are disfelloshipping me because i believe the earth is flat.

  is this coherent?.

  March 2004 disfellowshipped a year later.

  Haysbridge assembly hall is the venue.

  I was so excited. I thought as i came out of the water I was going to feel the holy spirit and a new found connection with Jehovah.

  I came out of the water extremley underwhelmed.

  Just peeking in for a bit...

  by Jidders in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i rather apprehensively would like to say hello.. i've been raised somewhat in the truth,one of my parents is rather rather strong in the beliefs but could honestly be considered pomi with how active they are and their side of the family comes from a line of witnesses, the other parent was but faded a long time ago.

  as such i was taught quite a bit of jw teachings between family and off and on again bible studies.

  recently i had a serious emotional break down over a few months after said pomi parent had advised me that they would not attend my wedding should that day come (i also had recieved a text from my bible teacher i hadnt heard from in a year or two giving a scripture) and it sorta all sank on me that my activity over the last few years was not really jw material.

  Welcome to the forum. As said above there is a search function, but if you cant find what your looking for or even just need to get something off your chest feel free to let it all out here.

  You will be amazed how many people are going through or have been through the same.

  most every night, where i work i transport dead persons to the morgue.

  others i work with have told me that around 3:00am they hear voices in the morgue.. i asked them have they experienced something more than physical life?

  just the voices inside the cold morgue.

  I have PTSD and in the days when i suffered with it badly i had flashbacks and saw things I can swear where real. Obviously I know they werent there. But even in my memory to this day it still seemed real. The mind is powerful and convincing.

  Anti vaccines

  by blisterfeet in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i personally feel that vaccinations are beneficial.

  there has been a modern movement that vaccinations are more harmful than beneficial to which i disagree.

  what is your stance as an ex jw on vaccinating your children?

  I was vaccinated as a Jw child.

  And I continue as such.
