Purplesofa, you weren't preaching a JW message
I was never good at conforming. Hard to believe I tried so hard to "fit in" to the goofiest organization on the planet.

The word hate doesnt even cover it for me. I live in a small town, and alway ran into people I knew. I was in my late teens, and man, running into the cute guys from school????????? And I had to go, my parents made me!!!!!

Minimus-You stated"it is true we developed thicker skin becuase of our jw activities."I feel this is just another way of twisting this foolishness into a positive that it just isn't.I could have gotten thick skin from challenging myself academically,socially,normally.If I could have participated in normal activities,I would have learned toughness.That is part of life.Being a child magazine salesman and be made fun of or looked at like "the family of quacks" in every nieghborhood did't give me any more thick skin than I would hav e had in a balanced life.Your comment sounded like the verbal diahrea that I would hear from an ignorant JW.I believe your fooling yourself by thinking that.

I hated it, especially when I started really thinking about my doubts and how stupid what we are trying to sell must seem to educated people.

STP, calm down. All I was saying is that if we were one of those children that had to go HtH, like me, there are some things that can be beneficial. As a salesperson, I'm good. My JW background is a reason.

I enjoyed it. I did not always like doing the KM suggested presentations, but I did enjoy the ministry.

I was just always praying a "not at home" or I didn't know that person!
