Do you ever mention to anyone you were a JW ??? or keep it secret ???
by run dont walk in.
workmates, friends, school friends etc,.
do you ever mention it, or if someone asks you your religion, do you ever mention it, or keep it in your past ??

I did the best I could to hide it when I was older but growing up it was tough because everyone on the block would be out playing and we would be all dressed up to go to a thursday night meeting. That was a bummer.

I remember when I was around twelve I gave a bible reading that had to do with fornication and adultery.When you are that young you don'tknow any better you want to be a good JW but now that I look back I can't see how a responsible elder would allow young children giving talks on those subjects.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS?
by moses ini was wondering if the witnesses still get together and study the watchtower as a group before the sunday meetings i remember in the old days this was very common, also picnics at the forest preserves evrybody seemed to be upbeat helping each other out with either rides to the meetings or wedding and baby showers .other than the hassel we got at school things weren't that bad.
i haven't been to a meeting for awhile and was wondering if it is all the same.

Sorry Gretchen I guess my typing skills can use some improvement. Freedom by the way I am going back in the early 1970s they had some nice get togethers and we all thought armaggedon was right around the corner.

what do you believe???
by walker22 ini have been df for a nummber of years now and have recently been doing research via the web for the past few weeks.
mostly because my new husband has been also doing his own research because i have been saying for years i want to go back, but never have and he had questions about the religion that he didnt understand.
the only time i ever go to the hall is for the memorial.

I THINK YOUR FEELINGS ARE PRETTY COMMONFOR SOMEONE WHO IS STARTING TO SEARCH THE RELIGION THAT YOU ALWAYS BELEIVED TO BE THE TRUTH. I WOULD SAY TO REALLY EXAMINE THE SOCIETY JUST LIKE THEY TELL YOU TO EXAMINE FALSE RELIGION EXAMINE THEM.I KNOW THAT THERE ARE MANY QUESTIONS BUT REMEMBER THAT GOD KNOWS THE HEART AND WHEN IT COMES TIME I DON'T THINK ANYONE KNOWS WHO WILL BE SAVED.

MY SHORT BACKGROUND
by moses inwell i must say that i am glad that i found this site it is amazing all the things that i found that i have in common,it seems that the same problems and feelings are the same all over.
i can remember growing up as a jw although i never got baptized all the hypocrisy in the congregation especially amongst the elders children they were worse than the wordly children at school,we tried hard to stick to the truth my mom was a single mom and she did her best to raise us in the truth my mom is still in but as never given me any pressures i will attend an occasional meeting but that is about it, it seemed that everybody was always waiting for you to stumble or do somthing bad so that they could gossip anways this is my story in short, the jws are definetly a tough club to belong to although in the beginning they make everything look so rosy.
god bless everyone out there.. moses

The sad thing is I think they can care less about the lost sheep I think deep down they like it when you don't attend it gives them a feeling of self rightshness .
