There are many in the currect congregation which I attend. The older ones seem caring while the younger ones with family (small children) seem indifferent.
Now there's a job I don't want. They've to deal with their own issues and their family's issues, plus everybody else's in the congregation?! No way!!!

i don't know how many of you knew this, but i've been looking for a job.
i submitted an app to a local burger joint, and one to a really good chicken place called zaxby's.
i had an interview yesterday at the burger place.
Hey, a job is a job! Congratulations! Keep up the good work!
Make good plans to move up and progress in the working world, though.
Take care,

i did the fade two years ago and have found this board helpful.
just want to say thanks.. mil
Welcome Mil!
I'm trying to do the fading, but it's nearly impossible with my husband and most of my relatives being such devoted JWs. I'll achieve it one day. Hopefully soon!
Not bitter or hateful towards the WBTS, just came to view it as just another religious organization with strict rules I do not always want to follow.
Be well.

my motivation was not to "recruit" for the watchtower society.
i thought i made it clear when i stated that i am no longer one of jehovah's witnesses anymore and that i am on your side.
however, the impression i am getting is that no one is really understanding what i am getting at.
I really like how young children learn to read and give parts from the platform. By the time they start school, some already know how to read and write quite well for their age.
So many children of Hispanic roots forget their language or don't learn it properly because they lack the necessary communication in that language.
Due to the constant exposure with the 5 meetings, and the participation that is expected of these young ones, they learn to read/write/speak Spanish perfectly. It's awesome to see, really!

has anyone ever seen a situation where the wts disfellowhiped someone who is autistic, retarded or otherwise mentally challenged?.
i wonder if the elders give them more leeway knowing that they are not always capable of making decisions as well as a normal person.. .
Never seeing or heard of a mentally challenged person ever getting baptized, much less disfellowshipped. Either act would be wrong, imo.

i'm totally stressing out.
it's been over a year since i faded out and my mom and me are not getting along too well.
she is the only dub in the family now that i'm out of the borg.
You love your mother. Do not disrespect her.
If she starts up with you, tell her you love her and respect her and would like her to understand that you will both disagree when it comes to the WBTS stuff. Ask her to try and have a wonderful conversation by finding a topic you could both agree on.

i don't know who is scarier, the jw's or some people on this board.
man, r u guys bitter?
Good job SO! Lots of emotions stirred up!
Keep'em coming!
DY, of the "JWs is only a religious business just like many other organizations out there. I'm not bitter towards them." class.
Be well you all!
now i only drive automatic transmission cars....because there is so much traffic and too many stop signs.
it becomes annoying.
i used to love driving manual transmissions, but no more.. the internet is one other thing that i wouldn't be able to do without.. how about you?.
Lazy weekend mornings!
House and yard work on weekends at my own slow pace. Radio blasting.

love the latest service meeting study on line, and the t.m.s.
as well, blondie's watchtower study is truly great.
so who is signing up to do the newest book study?
Since this publication has already been studied, I'll not underline/prepare for it. I hardly ever attend the book study meeting anyway.
I remember liking the book when we first studied it back then. Gosh, how things change!

The fact that I don't agree with their current 'controlling' methods, doesn't mean I cannot conform to their high moral standards.
I very well conform and agree with many of their high moral stances.
Lately I have great faith in the WBTS reforming itself further as the die-hards exit in death.
I'll get around to updating my profile soon.
