A deflating talk with my brother re: anti-witnessing,,,,thoughts?
by smellsgood in**edited to say, my brother is not a jw, never has been, nor have any of my family.
i'm referring to jw's i don't know who came to the door finally (i posted about it a couple weeks ago in personal experiences) i was just talking to him about it because he got word of it and doesn't like the idea of it** .
talking to my brother today, he doesn't like the idea of me getting involved debating with jw's (i've done this plenty, just not in person:).

2007- Witness Meetings= Why can't women wear pants/trousers??
by Witness 007 inwhen my mum went to her first meeting she was dressed to perfection, she wore nice ladies dress trouser/pants.
the witness stuying with her told her it was "not apropriate" to wear this to the meeting...in 2006 i was in a congregation where a sister would put a skirt on over her pants she wore to work.
it looked weird, but the pants ban still is in force 2007.

Ever met a "deep" JW?
by educ8self inmy guess is probably not, or if they were they weren't that much of a jw or their perspective isn't so relevant to jw thought - i trust those that have been out a while understand what i mean, hindsight and all.
what i'd like to do is draw out a contrast that some may have by way of their personal experience, maybe a "worldly person" or other non-jw that is an example of someone that has a great and helpful perspective on life, vs. the jw one.
there may be people from this board, but i think even a specific telling moment with a simple thing could be good or even better.

JW Talent Show North Little Rock, AR circa early 90's
by TMS inhere are three clips from a jw talent show that took place in north little rock arkansas in the early 90's.
since jw's normally do not pursue entertainment careers, those who have talent sometimes feel a need to share their skills with fellow believers.
the brother doing the eagles classic paid the auditorium rent and organized the show.
