  does anyone remember being a child as a JW and not having holiday?

  by franklin J in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am curious to know how many others shared the same experiences as me as a child, growing up as a jw.. surfing this board has brought back a flood of memories ( i am secure enough to deal with them) not all good.

  i have been away from jws for sometime, and remember being a child in school and having to explain why i do not salute the flag, why i have to leave the room when there is a birthday or christmas party, why i had to explain when i was seen going door to door ( i grew up to be a pioneer).

  being "different" is hard for a child.. now that i have 3 children of my own, who are fortunatelly not growing up as jw, to see how secure and well adjusted they are in school is comforting.

  Cars at the Kingdom Hall

  by YellowLab in

  1. jw

  the cars i've seen most in the kingdom hall parking lot: the familiar, dull 4-door car, the family minivan, or the old beater.

  sometimes the occasional 2-door car, which was generally frowned upon for service.

  ok, let's hear it... what kind of car did you drive when you were a dub?.

  What JW belief/idea do you disagree with the most ???

  by run dont walk in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  is there a particular belief/doctrine that really burns you up and makes you wonder how people could believe this, and did you as a loyal jw at one time believe in it (your most hated belief), what made you change your mind ???.

  for me, i always enjoy reading the history of the watchtower (1879-1974), and how things constantly change from year to year.

  the sodom and gomorrah question is hilarious .

  How Did 1975 Affect You?

  by Perry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i saw my uncle sell their house..... only later to feel and look like idiots.

  i remember all the buzz about the end coming around my own house.

  since i was a naturally inqusitive child (the question why is not good for theocratic advancement) i was made to feel stupid for questioning, even at 7 and 8 years old.

  Do You Enjoy Being "Part of the World"???

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since before a witness gets baptized, they are told to "be no part of this world".

  that is beaten into everyone's head.

  now that you're not a jw or are on the way out, how does being part of the "world" feel?
