thanks for the welcome everyone.
@Aware!: it's a computer programming program. writing code and stuff.
@whathappened: they are baby boomers and converted to jws in late 80's. all that time my dad was never even appointed ms. the elder body in one congregation had a serious grudge against my family and we never knew why. we'd come in late and be expected to sit in the front center of the hall. couldnt get backsets because the elders and their wives (who had no children btw) would take them for themselves. i personally think it was because my fam was the only one that came into jw's, 95% of the congregation were all born-ins.
i remember my mom saying something happened one time, i cant remember if it was in my fam or somewhere else, but the elders told their wives about it and none of them would talk to my mom. she felt very left out and alone because of this and how we have nobody outside our immediate family who are witnesses, and i got over 14 aunts & uncles, so there was no one to talk to for awhile. she would never say what exactly caused this though. gets me angry even thinking about it.
@breakfast of champions: yeah forgot about 607. they cant ever change it though, or else all their beliefs go to shit, so they're stuck defending it forever.
