i'm trying to get some comments that active jehovah's witnesses may have heard after dateline aired back on may 28, 2002.

do you remember any comments made about the dateline program either made from the platform at the kingdom hall, or in private conversations with other jw's?

how were the people who where on dateline viewed in your area, especially at the kingdom hall or by other jws?

A Question for former bethelites?
by eisenstein in
1. jw
2. friends
my sister and i were talking the other day and she told me that when you are first assigned to bethel they make you sign a letter of secrecy or something like "secret service agreement"?

i was just wondering if this is true.

if it is true then don't you agree that it is a hot bed for paranoia?.

Twisted Life
by Mysterygirl in
1. jw
2. experiences
i just thought that i would share my life as a jw.

i was born into this cult in 1973. i was born as a hermaphodite (both sexes) this was of great shock to my parents, apparently the confided in one of the elders asking him what thay should do?

his respones was that i should be made male (the doctors at the time said i should be female) my parent took the avice of the elder and i was the made to be a male.. as i was growing up i beged my parents to allow me to be the person that god had wanted me to be but the elders kept reasuring me and my parent that god wanted me to be a male so that i could one day be a elder or s/overser.. in my teen years it became very apparent that my parents had made a mistake as i would act in a very female way.

My baptism back into the world - my story
by a wee scots lass in
1. jw
2. experiences
i was raised in 'the truth ' from the age of 9, when my parents came 'into the truth'.

i was the perfect little witness girl, went out in field service - without complaint, gave talks (well the way you do in two's when you are female!

), i was even on the list of people they called on when someone did not turn up to give their talk and would get up with only 30 min prep time!

hi friends!.

i've finally made a decision: i wil leave the wt in december 2004 or january 2005. please let me explain how i would manage this and i will also like to know your point of view or any other thing you would want to say.. i live in spain (as some of you know) in a city where there are 20 congregations.

i think that the elders would like to know the reason why i'm moving to another congregation.
