  were you a sought after associate?.

  were you often invisible?.

  did other witnesses view you as "exemplary"?.

  I was a Ministerial Servant who was very active in helping set up and run the sound systems at the assemblies and conventions. I was also active in the "Quick Build" Kingdom Hall projects that happened within a 300 mile radius of DFW.

  The last meeting I attended was in January of 1992. I took time off after that to peruse the local libraries and I came across "Crisis of Conscience" by Ray Franz and "Apocolypse Delayed" by James Fenton. After I finished those books, I knew I would never darken the floor of a Kingdom Hall again.

  Desirous and Amelia, you are correct in that very few "outsiders" have any idea what the JW's believe other than the ones you mentioned. I have caused two fellow co-workers here to stop their studies after I gave them a brief history on the org and what they could expect in the future.

  One lady said "You mean they will expect me to believe that God chose them as the only true Christians in 1919? They have never mentioned that." When she did later ask her study guide if that was the case, after a long dance and moonwalk, he admitted to it.

  She replied "Well as of 2012 my brain has chosen me to end this study. Thank you and good evening."

  i have been putting all my cds onto my new ipod.. i am only half way through this, and my hard disk is almost full, as itunes keeps the audio files on the computer.. every time i plug in my ipod, any tracks i have removed from my hard drive to make room for new music is deleted from the ipod.. i want to keep all the music on the ipod, and get rid of all the cds stored on my hard disk without them being removed form the ipod.. the instructions are so rudimentary i dont know what to do.

  i am not prepared to buy yet another computer because of this.. help appreciated.. hb.

  Shunned by ex-jw's

  by Joey Jo-Jo in

  2. experiences

  there seems to be a double standard among ex-jw's who believe and practice christianity.. i have lost 3 subscribers from my youtube channel all because of speaking my mind, it was not invasive or rude, but my last two videos appeared to have offended them.. so what happened?

  as an atheist i raised some issues regarding the mind set of christianity that it borrows from jw's, in other words i was showing christian ex-jw's that they are behaving just like jw's.

  the double standard is simple to grasp:.

  Are JW'S "hated" in all the world? Or...are they considered IRRELEVANT?

  8 not ashamed of the good news .

  while it is true that jehovahs witnesses are hated and opposed in all the nations of the earth, this is in fulfillment of what was foretold to be an identifying mark of genuine worshipers of the one living and true god.

  I haven't either Terry. After leaving the Society in September 1992, I was amazed how little the general public knows about JW's other than the blood issue and avoidance of holidays. I would have to vote for irrelevancy.

  I am looking forward to the deluxe editions of their catalogue that will be released in 2013. This was mentioned in current Rolling Stone magazine that has a lengthy interview with Page.
