  JW sighting while shopping

  by Scully in

  i was out today at the grocery store, picking up a few things for the weekend, when just beyond the pineapples, i spotted a jw lady i was once friends with.. i wasn't interested in engaging in conversation, so i just continued picking out fruit, when out of the corner of my eye, i see her look at me and recognize me.

  she looked like she was panicking, and then darted behind a pillar in the store, trying to hide from me!.

  my dd was with me and noticed what happened.

  I actually have a different experience when seeing JWs around town. If they notice me, (not df'd) they walk over to make sure I see them, say hello and then switch to ignoring me. Its like they go out of their way to make sure I know Im being shunned. So ridiculous...

  Attending memorial tomorrow?

  this is my first year i will not attend memorial.

  to be honest if it wasn't for my husband i would probably be going still.

  he says what's the point, don't be one of those people who doesn't give a sh** but just shows there face once a year.

  No we didn't attend. The third year we didnt go. This is actually the first year since we faded that no one called or came to invite us. Why start the cycle again?

  totally agree with the girl next door as far as defense.. if you feel the need to defend yourself, that is.

  being in new england myself and having suffered similarly as a child, this is so upsetting. So glad my husband and I are done with this and my child is safe from this pedophile filled cult.

  this makes me so angry. we who were raised in this cult were all taught we were undeniably safe at the KH and amongst our "brothers and sisters". Some of us werent even safe in our OWN HOMES.

  How many of you followed the WTS direction on education years ago and have been screwed by it?

  by Julia Orwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm really interested in this question because i've heard for years that if you forgo further education and go pioneering, when you have a family down the track you will get a good job because jehovah will provide for you because you pioneered.

  as long as i was a kool-aid drinker, even then, i thought, "how does pioneering pay your bills?

  surely education should come first.

  On Tattoos

  by tim hooper in

  tattoos may look great for a while on a young person, but as you get older they'll just look plain stupid.

  your credibility will fade as you and your tattoo age together.

  your skin will be permanently stuck in a timewarp, like some old newspaper headline that once meant something but later becomes meaningless.

  How old were you when baptized?

  by Coded Logic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was baptized at the age of 11. like most of us, my commitment wasnt to honor god but rather i was gang pressed into the service of the wtbts.

  and, at such a young age, it was impossible for me to appreciate the enormity of my actions.

  honestly, how could i possibly have known any better?
