Another JW cong story... it's not adultery or fornication if...
by out of the box inthe quote below prompted me to post my stories.
the other being: experience being 'out of the loop' of helpful information from the cong.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/7/95518/1.ashxfrom dorayakii: to me, even from the outside, the society has always seemed legalistic and cold, eager to find faults, which is precisely the opposite to how jesus formed christianity.

Experience being 'out of the loop' of helpful information in the cong.
by out of the box ina post in this thread by dorayakii in this thread: .
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/7/95493/1.ashx made me think about this thread.to me, even from the outside, the society has always seemed legalistic and cold, eager to find faults, which is precisely the opposite to how jesus formed christianity.
however, many people don't see that perspective, because they are not in a position of imtimacy with the leaders of the organisation.

Moonies... An experience a friend of mine had in the late 70's
by out of the box ina couple i knew (now baptized jws, i brought them in) went to a lecture in weston, mass.
they loved the lecture about life and seeking a higher spiritual plain.
right after the lecture (body guards at the doors) they were encouraged to leave their cars in the (now dark, no lighting) parking lot.

How I got out of JWs, they showed me the way!
by out of the box ini have been writing 'my story' in bits and pieces here.
it was pouring out, one of the kids sick, jw husband wasn't going.
i got in the car (this little hatch-back car was a loaner from the garage because our larger car was being repaired) i was stopped at a stop sign and i was on time for the meeting.. i heard something and turned in time to see something coming at me fast.

I married a JW
by out of the box ini had stated before that i escaped a worldly abusive man and went into the 'truth'.
i got baptised after a year and then a few young men were approaching me as 'marriage' material.
when i think back i was pushed into baptism because it was time, i had been studying 'long enough' as the girl who studied with me said.. the ministerial servants came to the house 'with the perspective man' in tow.

One of the 144,000
by out of the box ini wanted to share this story.. we were (many years ago) going out in service.
i was in the car with annointed one driving, his wife and the person who had 'brought me into the faith' and my daughter.
we went through an intersection where this old man (annointed one) was not paying attention.

I am new here, former JW left years ago.
by out of the box ini want to discuss my experiences with the witnesses.
how it began: i was recruited during the time i was escaping from a violent husband to a shelter.
a witness came to my door as i was preparing to move during the day without him knowing (while he was at work).
