Many Stay As JWs Because Of Social & Family Contacts

I had strong social and family ties to the witnesses. I was employed by two of them and can honestly say they were the worst bosses I've ever worked for. When I went into business for myself I started hiring witnesses but graually more and more "worldly" people got hired. I found I liked the non-JWs better...Good "worldly" associates spoiled my JW habits and I dont regret it one bit.

I'm definitely one of those that stays because of family and social ties.
I make my load as light as possible by skipping as many meetings as I can and going out preaching only like 1 Saturday each month.
I hang with other 'spiritually weaklings' and try to make the best out of the experience while I have to endure it.
