  I am a single parent my daughter was living with me at the time, we came in a little late to the Sunday meeting and the attendant sat us on the first row like 10 feet from the podium.. we did not like sitting there so i slipped her a note asking her to meet me in the car 5 min after I left. We drove off leaving our bible, song book and wich tower rag on the seat . So yes we walked away and never went back. That was over 20 years ago. Oh yes my daughter is doing good finishing her graduate degree at the UDUB Seattle.

  If a JW Came To Your Door How Would You Handle It?

  jehovah's witnesses have never come to my door but they have come to my girlfriends door.

  i have coached her as to what to say or ask but it appears that they always seem to come when she's not there.

  .....just curious would you get into it with a jehovah's witness at your door especially if it was someone you did not know?.

  Oh yes I forgot about 3 years ago we had 2 lady elders always come buy and visit and share some quotes from the book of the Mormon we enjoy their visit and headed to there car. Low and behold I see some JWs working down the block and they come to our door and they started in on there spiel and I said you guys were just here like 10 mins. ago it was 2 elders . The look on there face was priceless. they got in the ca,r and the car group left the territory and am sure they were very confused.

  It was about after one year after I faded. A group of them were out in "service" and did not recognize any of them.

  How ever one of the "sisters" did recognize me and asked me if I was a "brother'?

  I purposely gave her a WTF look and said "I dont know, Im my brothers brother, what do you mean?"

  She got embarrassed and said I thought you were someone. and walked away.

  But when they come knocking at my door at home I never answer. When I see them in down down Seattle with there stupid carts I pretend there the Mormons and ask them questions about how to become a Mormon.

  I just go on about Joseph Smith and their beliefs and ask them questions they cant answer. I realy have a lot of fun with them

  This may be a crazy question, but it popped in my head and won't leave. . So I gotta ask. . .

  ok, this probably applies to most faith systems that believe in any sort of afterlife, but i would like to know what sort of explanation the jw's would come up with for this little problem, you know, after armageddon on earthly paradise.

  sorry if i sound dumb, but it's been nagging at me for a few weeks and have to ask.. so, what if a young married jw couple are living their life, waiting for the big a, knowing they will be together in the earthly paradise, then very sadly one of them dies.

  from what i know, if a jw dies, that's it.

  when you finally and officially exited the cult, whether it be by disfellowshipping, disassociating or fading - what was the first things you did that are considered "worldly"?.

  for me, it was like crash landing on another planet that looked like earth but was completely different to the earth i knew.

  i wanted to learn everything that i thought i already knew.. first things i did:.
