  Were you ever scared of going to prison as a JW?...

  by Hecklerboy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember growing up a jw and always being told that someday the goverment would turn on us and throw us in prison.. i was watching a documentary on national geographic about san quinton prison and it brought back old memories of those fears.. i remember thinking how scared i would be if i had to go to prison and what i could do to protect myself.

  i would think of how i could just stay in my cell all the time so no one could hurt me.

  especially after seeing stories on the news about riots and rapes and people getting stabbed.. leave it to the jw's to make a kid worry about going to prison.

  anyone else have trouble yesterday getting on to jwd?

  i tried three different computers and when i clicked on jwd's url each computer wouldn't access it - it would partially load the url and then wouldn't complete the load.

  i tried getting on over a period of over 6 hours and the same thing happened.

  A question on " 1975 "

  by The in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was reading some of the first " topics " on this db and i noticed that a few former elders and publishers .

  were stumbled by this date.... i was born after 1975 and i'd really appreciate any comments from brothers and sisters who were around .

  what i've noticed from personal experience is that many brothers and sisters feel that only " a few " were stumbeled .

  i was so excited to come upon this website today!

  it's so nice to read logical, educated voices who have been brave enough to walk away from this organization.

  i was raised a jw, and every person that i personally know that has left has ended up miserable.

  Hate CO Visit

  by thepackage in

  2. experiences

  our cong.

  recently had its co visit, and i realized how fake people can be when the co is around.

  elders take time off of work to go out on service during the week, ms's that want to be elders kiss butt to the co. taking the co and his wife out to lunch become a competition.
