Were you a JW trophy wife? Not necessarily a serious thread.

sal, it's funny but things were much more shallow in the dubs.

i noticed some of the ugliest blokes getting pretty little trophy wives so long as they had a job or were the sons of elders.

my dad (an elder) even went so far as to encourage me to come back to the dubs because i would easily pull a good looking wife .

i only know a handful of witnesses, but i do know several ex-witnesses.

all of them left in their late teens, which (as i've read here) is pretty common.

i know there are a lot of people here who left later in life.

Quick Introduction
by Nocturne in
1. jw

i've been lurking here for a few months now, and i've been wanting to post for awhile now but i've never really been up to it.

i first stumbled upon the information about the wtbts being an ngo for 10 years in september, and ever since i've been finding out about all the other things the society has been up to.

as of now, i'm still going to the meetings, but now my eyes have been truly opened, and i can see things in a whole new perspective, and it's amazing the deception that's going on in the organization.

WHY did you get baptised?
by fairy in
1. jw
2. friends
i was just thinking back to when i got baptised.

and i dont really remember the real reason why.. thinking about it seems to bring up the idea that i only got baptised because of the way everyone treats you when they find out you are getting dunked - and not specifically to serve jehovah.. baptism day comes and you sit there and listen to the talk.

then you go out and get your swimming duds on and line up at the "whatever it is they decide to dunk you in".
