in the past whenever you went on vacation (holiday) did you try and find a kingdom hall to attend and also try and put in some service time?
outaservice
EVERY trip we made when I was young, we my parents would search high and low for a hall. We would change in the van, or a gas station bathroom. Sometimes, witnesses, that we had never met before, would invite us to spend the night
Crazyblondeb, that is unreal. We took vacations to get away from all the JW routine. I can't imagine actually looking for it...

everyone has their own avenue of exit...for some fading is the right way for some like me i wanted a clean break being in for 28 years all adult life it was the only for me...just find your freedom anyway you can live your life and don't look back...
Welcome Lancelink,
Thanks for sharing your story. Hope things work out for you.

my jw wife was telling me how much better a sister was now shes on prozac it turns out half the congo is on it .
it appears jehovah's happy people are not so happy after all.
It was the same in my old congregation 10 years ago. Most depressed bunch of people I ever met.
A few were on so many different meds... they weren't even the same person anymore....like zombies.

my neice who had cancer died at 3:00 a.m. my sister just called and told me.
i'll put up the obituiaries when it's posted.
no need for responses.
I am so sorry for your loss... MsMcDucket...
Seems sometimes the stress just never ends. Sending you hugs and good thoughts.
Sincerely,
Cas
how come an organization that is busting all out to get people through armageddon urgently is not teaching anything about survival?
any storm predicted (weather forecast) sees people scurrying around to protect themselves.
all that seems to happen in jw land is preparation for more printing.
Hotspur,
Loved your post, I have had that same thought many times, asked a few and always got the same ole "Jehovah will provide" ans.
I felt we should have at least, been stocking food, but again they told me "No" the worldly ones would just take it all away...
Even Noah preached AND built an ark!
True... Noah was prepared...

so much has happen over the pass years since i posted on this forum.
three years ago i posted my first topic about my mother, she passed away recently.
it still hurts to lose a mother, someone who gave you birth and raised you the best she could.
So sorry for your loss. It's really sad that people have to be so cold at such a painful time.
(((Hugs)))

here i am an apostate that just found out that an elder's 18-year-old daughter is dating an unbeliever.
i don't know why this is bothering me!?
is it because i want to call them and cause trouble?
Here's a hug for you, I get the feeling you could use it...
