What Things Did You Hate About Being A Jehovah's Witness?
by minimus in.
anything in particular?
?

tuesdays, thursdays, saturday mornings, sundays, christmas, birthdays, cheap suits, green carpets, being a kid knocking on peoples doors and telling people how much i wanted to be there, days text, having to prepare the watchtower, yellow highlighter pens, hard plastic seats, chrome microphone stands, green carpets, the 'brother' who did sound, and of 'doing' the microphones... only jw's talk about doing microphones like that!
one of the main things i didn't like, barring the above, was the fact that you could not answer in a meeting or book study with your own opinion, you had to prepare answers from junk they have written with the answers they wanted already in the text. to me this was always rubbish and from being very young i used to lean over to my mom in the meeting and tell her i thought something or other meant something else, and being hushed.
another thing i hate is the illusion that jw's live under, being that 'the society' never makes mistakes in their publications.
i hated us being refered to as 'jehovah's witnesses' and everyone else being refered to as 'the world' - the world always seemed like it had more substance than the small org of jw's, because after all it is a whole world, compared to a single line of rhetorical reasoning that the jw had to offer.
i think i could probably go on for ages about things i hate about being a jehovah's witness, but at the end of the day i guess it boils down to the individual. for myself, i am a free souled person, and i guess that's it.
and green carpets.

How did you............
by lola28 infind jwd?
i found this website while i was looking for the company that you can get service stuff from, i believed it was the "truth" and was a pioneer at the time, not a pioneer anymore.
so how did you get here and what has changed in your life since you found this place?.

i was bored and living in china at the time, sat at my desk, been an ex jw for 7ish years, and just googled jehovah's witnesses. not sure what prompted the thought, probably just boredom. anyway, this site came up and i clicked onto it much like i did today, and joined. it didn't change my life much, i talked to some interesting people and like any forum it's a good place to rant. i'm sure that my reading things on here went some way into how hard i pushed at my mom until she eventually stopped going to meetings. i live in the uk now, and haven't used this site much for the past 12 months or more, but in moments where i find myself a bit bored or wondering what's going on in jw land, i come back here and have a look.

Were you like me, or was I different?
by JH in.
i remember going to meetings at the hall, and when the meeting was over, i wanted to leave right away, and not see a jw t'il the next meeting.. i thought of this thread because i see so many witnesses having lunch together after meetings and many seem to always want to be together even when the meetings are over.. i never did like this closed circle of jw's.

i was born into it, and grew up in it, so like, because of that it was always natural to be part of whatever closed circle there was in a congregation, because you'd grown up there. that didn't change the fact that i always hated tuesdays, thursdays, saturday mornings and sundays, and never wanted to be there.

past lives
by BlackSwan of Memphis inoops lets try again.
i've been wanting to ask people this for awhile.
what would your best guess be as to who you might have been in a past life?

for most of my life i've thought it more likely that we have past lives than that we don't, but i would say that if i've had them, i would just be me, but with a different set of experiences, not a famous person or anything like that.

surely if they know they might get executed if they get caught then they might just opt to kill the kid, as a dead body can't really testify.
