  The Enormity of It All

  by Swan in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  occasionally the enormity of it all just comes flooding back in on me.

  at times it just seems so overwhelming.

  at times it seems so incredibly fantastic so as to be unbelievable.

  What's the most hypocritical thing(s) you've ever seen a JW do?

  by Steve Lowry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  up high on my list has to be when a jw co-worker named john fitzgerald tore into me one morning (when i was coming in late for work) for grabbing a quick piece of cake from the lunch room.

  turns out, someone in this small little office had brought in the remainder of their birthday cake for folks at work to finish up eating.

  john was older than i and a ministerial servant (ooh) and felt it his responsibility to keep me on the straight and narrow.

  Why I believe my baptism was not valid. (welcome comments)

  by thebeliever in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i was 11 or 12, my best friend (who's father was also an elder) suggested i get some of my mom's cigarettes for us to smoke.

  sounded like a good idea, so i did and we tried it.

  i thought it was horrible, but she had done it before and whatever.

  Do you have a 'turning point' memory that started you to question?

  by Steve Lowry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  mine was when i was about ten years old or so back in the mid sixties.

  we had a guy in our k.hall who actually lived through the 1914 experience (earl senior).

  he was well into his seventies i guess even then and was one of the annointed.

  what is the stupidest thing a jw ever told you?

  we all know that they say a lot of stupid things, but what really topped the cake?.

  for me, it was an elder telling me i was progressing really well when my meeting attendance was down and my field service hours were slipping.

  iam grateful for my witness experience.

  for the personal development the experience has given me.i belive the experience has made me a better man not a lesser man.. admittadly any positivnes that has come out of the negative is at great cost.
