  Your reason for remaining anonymous on the boards?

  by starfish422 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just wondering why you choose not to use too many identifying facts about yourself on the boards?

  is it to protect yourself, or others?.

  for me, i have nothing to lose where the dubs are concerned, and initially my profile was pretty extensive.

  I no longer really care what jws think of me. There is nothing they can do to me now since I have left. I do wonder if I know people on here who still are in hiding. Hmmmmm

  Cars at the Kingdom Hall

  by YellowLab in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the cars i've seen most in the kingdom hall parking lot: the familiar, dull 4-door car, the family minivan, or the old beater.

  sometimes the occasional 2-door car, which was generally frowned upon for service.

  ok, let's hear it... what kind of car did you drive when you were a dub?.

  Elders once a year check-up on DF ones.

  by Blueblades in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we got this call from one of the elders who df'd one of our loved ones.he wanted to know where so and so lives,phone # etc.this after two and a half years.they wanted to make contact to see if that one wanted to return to the congregation.

  ( not like the prodigal,who was restored on the spot by his father,rather ,by sitting for six months in the back of the hall and given the silent treatment.

  he admitted tha elders can't read the heart and make mistakes 'mistakes' destroying someones life is a mistake??

  Well I have been out for over four years and noone has tried to contact me, and live five miles from my former hall. I guess it depends on the body of elders.

  my mother told me that after i get married, she's going to give me the "family happiness" book.

  i've never read the thing, but i know it's a wts publication that often gets given or mailed out to newlyweds who aren't in the troof.

  what's your opinion of this "fine christian publication"?

  When I got married in June, 1992, a Bethelite from Brooklyn (John Love) gave me an my wife both a bible and songbook with our names engraved on them.

  At the time, I told him that his gift was my favorite one.

  Funchback you didn't love those little perks? My friends in bethel would send me bibles and songbooks too with name on them. I loved it to the tenth degree. I'm such a dork!

  The family life book sucked. It crammed the idea of traditional gender roles down your throat.
