  just out of curiosity, was anyone here ever a pioneer?

  what motivated you to pioneer?

  what made you get off the list?

  Tried Auxilliary pioneering (The pioneer lite version, LOL) For like 3 months in a row and decided I HATED it. I know this is completely shallow, but the only reason I even attempted it was not because of any great spiritual compassion for "those sighing and moaning in this time of the end" and I felt a dire need to save them. But it was because there was a bro who I thought was mighty fine at the time. LOL. Deep down the whole thing (JW doctrine) NEVER made much sense to me right from the time I was little. I would be at a door spouting some JW rhetoric and my sub-concious was saying to me at the same time "What the hell are you doing here, when you don't believe this crap yourself? Of course it took me years and many tears to realize that's what was going on. For a looong time I just walked around feeling guilty cause I didn't feel the same way all these other people who were *strong in the truth* felt. ANYHOW, glad to be out now after way to long in and feeling like a confused freak.

  Hey eman,

  Derek's got a decent solution there. I agree. Tell them you are indeed going, but you both need that time to sort out personal things. If they can't understand that, well then that's their problem Good Luck!

  imagine this!

  what a tempting thought.. the org, banned, witnesses hunted like rats thru the streets as they sneak around in their reverse coats and changeable hats carrying out the preaching work.

  outside your house an incident,three neighbours are beating up on a witness, hitting him over the head with his own briefcase.. would you join in?

  Rome was especially ruthless

  i found this interesting picture on a site someone here referenced today.

  can you fathom being treated this way (persecuted) as apparently some christians were under the government of the roman empire?

  (also, look at the ones impaled round about the arena there.

  Ginny,

  You are welcome. Reminded me of the teaching methods of a certain sect we all know and don't love so well.
