Allright. The idea of talking about worldly people like that always made me sick to my stomach
the husband of a sister attended the public talk and the visiting elder came down hard on "unbelievers" and "worldly" people.
he spoke about how miserable it is for faithful sisters to be married to such "worldly unbelievers" because they cannot share the same spiritual goals.
this man recently had started to attend some meetings because his wife pretty much begged him to.

Born a JW, baptized at 12, leaving now at 25. Read the pedophile issue and the UN situation and it changed my perspective of the society. Just bought the King James version, and its starting to change my life.

has anyone ever seen or heard or knew about something that was wrong in the cong.
but never said anything because you were still under the influence?
do you regret not saying or doing anything about it now?

Personally, I remember just sitting there during a sheperding call I went with an elder while he just emotionally beat up on this sisters son about not making a definite step in the organization. I felt bad for him because he was a cool guy, but I just nodded and agreed with the elder. I wish I would've said something...
for those of you who weren't good jws, or weren't raised in the troof, what kind of bad things did you do in high school?.
one thing that i did sticks out in my mind above all the crap i did.
there was this one kid who was marked as the loser.
A couple of things..
Showed up to class stoned
Stole supplies from the school store
Went to lunch twice everyday for about two weeks
Shined the music room floor with my girlfriend (after hours)
etc....
has anybody seen the june awake.
its entitled "lonely but not alone".
there must be a lot of jw's that can't find friends.
THeres alot of stuff I can think of doing if feeling lonely....
it's amazing that people think when they are hurting or angry, that they can say anything they want.
and then the next day or week, they can say to you: oh i was just mad.
i was just venting.
When angry sometimes people say things that they wouldn't say otherwise, and that includes parents. I think we all have to be careful to not offend anyone when we get mad, but also to be ready to forgive if its sincerely asked for.
