  someone who shall remain nameless (*cough*snowbird*cough) mentioned she has never been to a bar.. this shocks me.. i was remembering how terrified i was of going to a bar when i was exiting the mother ship.

  i was looking for the lightning bolts to get me.

  and it was a big nothing really.

  When I was 18 after the Friday meeting at the kingdom hall we when to a bar with live country music. I told my parents I was going out to eat with Bob. That was in 1967. Back then the drinking age was 18. That was my first exposure to bar. It was really cool and I felt grown up. Bob was 10 years older than me.

  Now am 58 years old and I do not care. Actually it is agaist state law for me to go into a bar, so i can't. I will have hell to pay.

  Verified Example of Over 80 JWs Defecting

  by compound complex in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  both jim and marilyn [penton] were becoming increasingly unhappy with the leadership of jehovah's witnesses during the late 1970s, however.

  neither believed the watch tower society's assertion that the present world would probably end in 1975, and both were taken aback by the fact that for years the society refused to admit any fault in the matter.

  both also became distressed over the watch tower's methods of cajoling ordinary witnesses into going preaching from door to door, the society's lack of love and concern for ordinary persons, and the mistreatment of their older son, david, for attending university.

  Comparisons between todays Witnesses and those 40 years ago

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  loyalty, devotion, hardcore, willing to lose jobs to attend friday of the district convention.

  these were the witnesses who came into the truth or were born into it some 30-60 years ago.

  they could reason from the scriptures and hold their own at the doors.. today, i see a large mass of witnesses who have been in some 10-15 years who really don't know much about their own faith, could not explain 1914, are unwilling to lose jobs and sleep over attending meetings and assemblies and live double lives.

  Back in 1958 Yankeestadium, My dad set up the basement so the family lived down there. We had 3 families stay up stairs during the big 1958 Assembly.

  My dad had a basement bathroom installed just for this occasion.

  We all used one kichen in the morning and then went to the convention. I was seven my other 2 bothers were 5 and 2 years old. When we were driving home from the conventions during those days we would have the lastest book like that orange paridse book in the back window

  On the way home every one driving buy would wave and hook at us.

  Totaly diferant today.

  One time I was about 10 years old I wanted to impress my mother on how smart I was.

  I copied the words in one of the songs in the old green book. I wrote them down I read them

  to my mother as a poem. She thought I was a wonderful poet! However my father did not fall for it.
