  those who don't know my story- was brought up a jw, married young (dumb idea), divorced, kinda fell for the 1st person that came along, that didnt work, now kinda sat pondering where the hell the past decade has gone!

  i'm on the hunt for some of my old friends, both people that have had the sense the leave the jw's as well as my old mates from school and college that were good friends- and must of put up with some weird behavior from me (no xmas and birthday cards, no attending of birthday parties etc etc).

  i've managed to get into contact with one or 2 which is great, especially one who asked if i was still aa jw , which i was so pleased to be aable to say i wasn't!

  monophonic- college was a bit of a tetchy subject to be honest, even when I went. However what WAS accepted was that not everyone 'could' pioneer so I was def in that catagory. I had already auxillary pioneered during the winter and summer months when I had more time to do so, that could be why I was left to get on with college. I'm trying to remember the talks, I think the main jist was that ultimately you work to serve God better, have the option of a good job to support you while you pioneer etc. I think ultimately, as long as you were seen to be doing the correct things- field service, meeting attendance etc you could do what you wanted secularly.

  The most irritating dub(s) you had to put up with?

  for me it was a ministerial servant a real boor who always told me off and humiliated me for all sorts of silly reasons whenever i went to the fs group that he headed.

  i soon stopped going there.

  he even gave talks that were incredibly boring and brain duling and not surprisingly i recently heard that in his mid fourties he abandoned his aging wife who was of a similar age and run away with a woman in her early twenties that is half his age.

  It has to be the service overseer we had. He used to whistle to cover his farts on the field service, most often in front of a householder. 'Dave', it didnt fool anyone!!

  I guess if you move about like I did, then left the witnesses- while its all well and good making and having 'new' friends, you kinda crave the old ones as well.

  I like making new friends, but deep down I guess I feel I owe some of my old friends from outside the JW's an explanation. I've seen some phot's recently of about half a dozen of my friends from college who cme to my JW wedding. I cant imagine what they must of thought!! It must have been REALLY weird for them!
