  Irony: JWs who refuse to answer their door on Halloween!

  with halloween fast approaching, it struck me looking back how ironic it was when the worm turned every year on halloween, when jws turn off the porch light, draw the curtains, stumble around in the dark, etc.

  when the worldlies come to knock on their door, lol!.

  on the other hand, i remember the family escaping from the fortress at dusk to go to a movie, bowling, etc.

  Then we always took the kids to dinner and movies or minature golfing. now stay home and give the kids candy with enjoyment seeing all the fun costumes, at 65 I never had a chance to dress in a costume to trick or treat.

  when i was an elder, i had a few couples approach me to confess that they either played around or went all the way.. i suspect there were many more that did not admit to it, though..

  Stands for Pure Worship--and thats why the majority of the young JWs of 80s and 90s are now divorced. Not the best way to honestly to get know your future spouse. I pleaded with my son not too marry a girl he wasn't ever alone with, and I was sadly proven right. I am no longer around any from the 2000s to know how their marriages are working out.

  Young JWs are born with hormones as is the rest of the world. Most I knew did.

  A mole within the FDS!

  it has been now verified that there was a traitor within the gb!.

  an insider had the courage and audacity to verify this, taking the risk of being kicked out of bethel, with a cross carved on his forehead.. it became apparent that all the men of the gb where naturally bald, even when some tried to hide it with a clever and stylistic comb-over.

  but there was some suspicion that pierce and losch were not true bald men.

  Progress made with dad... but he still believes in the blood doctrine

  by ILoveTTATT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so.... my spiritual journey has led me to agnosticism, i really have a hard time believing that the bible, with so many contradictions and errors, and worse, with so many people trying to change its contents and who have actually achieved it, can be god's word.. i personally believe that i should just "do what i do" and live by the motto "yolo" (kidding).... no but really, i believe that i should just try to use my common sense to determine if something is right or if it is wrong.

  with that, many things are simplified.

  opening the door for someone that walks by?

  Be patient I walked away from JWs 25 years ago and I only started to doubt the blood ban in the last 2 years. It often takes a family crisis to rethink your beliefs that are so deeply ingrained in your thinking.

  Let's make a list of the families ruined by the Watchtower

  the jehovah's witnesses came to our door, claiming to hold the secrets of family happiness.

  they told me they had the "one true religion," and had come to save my life.

  i was a bible student for quite awhile, along with my husband.

  My family has 1 df'd and 2 shunning and several extended who shun.

  Husband family has our df'd one his sister df'd plus a nephew df'd and his family has 2 members who are shunning. The ones doing the shunning are actually the ones who are missing out on life.
