  what are some of the more popular jobs jws seem to flock to in your opinion?

  personally, the latest trend in my area is school bus driver as well as school bus monitor.

  i can think of six jws who drive school buses and two who are monitors.

  Most of them over here are window cleaners

  My window cleaner is an elder, who by the way was working when he should have been at the District Convention. And he had the nerve to ask if I was going!

  Are you going to the memorial

  by lillost in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was asked by my mother today "are you going to the memorial this year".

  i declined most graciously and said thank you for thinking of me, and although i haven't been for the last eight years i thought no more of the ritual invitation.. then suddenly it dawned on me that my mothers response was quite abrupt and something along the lines of "well i have done my christian duty by asking you".

  it was if she was literally washing the blood from her hands and she had tried to save me yet again.. has anyone else experienced this my mother has always talked to me with all civility about the "truth", i just wondered if there is new counsel now in how to deal with daughters and family that have fallen by the wayside.. appreciate your help.

  now that you don't practice the religion, is it safe to say that you reject everything that you were taught??

  I haven't renounced the teachings but I realise that a lot of the beliefs have changed since I was a young girl. I am no longer an active member but still have contact with my family, they tell me theres new light all the time and I wonder wether its to increase the numbers attending the Kingdom Halls. I am so disillusioned at the moment as I have only being looking on the internet for information for a few weeks
