Having posted my account of growing up as a JW and subsequent departure, I decided to go back and read my diary from 1988...my pioneer year, I turned 16 LOL
It has been quite a laugh and I thought it may amuse some here, or at the very least provide some light relief from the mundane realities of life for a time :) So here are the best bits of January 1988 for your reading pleasure. (for the sake of privacy I will only use first names)
January 1 1988 Happy New Year
Went to Stuart and Craig's and did congregation accounts then went to the beach.
January 7
Knocked back from Auxilliary pioneering - not build my hours up for long enough.
January 16
Went to the hall site (in prep for a quickbuild) after my study with Sandie.
January 19
At bookstudy Stuart tried to get me to say what was wrong but he can't understand that I can't say what. It hurts so much but I can't tell him, how much longer do I have to hold my feelings in? He doesn't know that by trying to help he is cutting me up inside. (I had a major crush on this particular chap LOL)
January 28
Lift to meeting with Dubbie. Stuart said he wasn't angry with me and that nothing was wrong. Why is he lying? Put in FS report and Auxillary form again.
Field Service stats for the month:
61 hours
29 mags
5 Return visits
Well, what an exciting start to the year, congregational accounting and field service. It is worth noting that at this time I am one month shy of 16 and my intended beau, Stuart is 19/20. The joyous life of a young witness.
