It depends on how you look at it I guess. When I was doing well at the meetings they would try and encourage me, but if I was having a hard time they would let me have it. Kind of the opposite of how it should have worked.

by minimus ini know there's a lot of elder bashing here.
most of it is quite justified.

Barney, dude I wasn't going to say anything like that.
Anyways, weight has nothing to do with a girl being cool or not. I just hope you find somebody fun man. Think about your future, and the meetings though.

Crizlee, are you still planning on going to meetings after highschool? If you are, you should take a serious look at why. College is in your future man. Wild times, hot chicks, and lots of time to make good friends. Why waste your time with false religion like I did? Look out for what's best for you my man.
Good call on the fat chick man. Although, you do know what they say about that right? If not I'll PM you that info.

Nina, I wish I would have had people like you around when I was younger. Thanks for going the extra mile on that situation. It shows what a truly wonderful and caring person you are.
And just a thought, "no matter how bad it seems tommorow is always another day".

Describe The Life of a Jehovah's Witness
by minimus intypically, what life does a jw lead?
witnesses relish the thought that they are "different" from the rest of the "world"......how so???

You grow up only to realize you did it all for nothing. It leaves you feeling broken, hateful, and betrayed. It also makes you long for the past only to realize you can't change it. Then you get even angrier, and then one day you just break down because you hate what you were, what you are, and want to become a normal person with normal memories and friends. Then you find a website that is home to those just like you. You meet some great new friends, and slowly start taking back your life. Then eventually you start to find what you wanted all along.
Isn't the internet great?

Good luck dude. I hope you find somebody. Are you still trying to be a good little JW? My suggestion is find the crazy, fun girl and live a little. That's what I wish I would have done. Go get some prom date action. You only live once. Just make sure to bring a raincoat.

Do you ever DEFEND Witnesses?
by GetBusyLiving ini know i come on here a lot and laugh at the crazy stuff i used to believe.. it's a terrific place to vent my frustration at the org.
and share experiences with people who understand.
but i find that when some people trash talk witnesses who were never part of it i end up sort of defending them usually.

I just say it's a form of mind control. I usually also say the governing body is a bunch of dellusional jerks.

This is something that a Witness should NEVER do !!!!!!!!!!
by JH ini spent the week-end putting this together.
what a waste of time !!!
imagine telling an elder that you didn't go out in the field service on saturday morning because you wanted to finish your puzzle..... poor elder would die of a heart attack.

I can tell you that $3000 dollars will get you one hell of a Vegas wedding. You might even make the money back...if you're lucky.
