  I think GaryBuss would refer to this guy as a 'walkaway believer'

  Though he left the dubs(for now) he's still a true believer. How scary is that?

  one of the worst cases of intimidation i have ever heard.

  "you do want to maintain jehovah's house don't you"?

  "we can't keep jehovah's house in order if we cannot keep up with rising prices" .

  I guess they feel they're exempt from paying Ceasar's things to Ceasar. Did I ever mention that I hate those GB bastards?

  Now, before everyone starts asking questions, I will post a second portion talking about the day to day life of an average inmate, and a few of my particularly amusing experiences in the big house.

  Many years ago I was arrested and did a 30 day sentence in county jail. It's not something I generally talk about, and I won't right now as it's your thread. In the meantime I look forward to your experiences.

  Does anybody own or want a scooter?

  i used to have a little honda 50cc spree scooter.

  it was fun to ride to the store and just putt around the country- it was just too slow.

  lately with gas creeping up i have decided maybe i should get another scooter as i just can't justify spending so much on gas to meet my friends for a drink and a hamburger.

  I've got two motorcycles, but I am thinking about getting a scooter to use on the surface streets for local errands.(plus they are much easier to find parking for) I'm hoping that my wife would learn to ride it and become more comfortable with motorcycles.

  Couldn't they use a 'suggested donation' arrangement for each kingdom hall. Meaning that each congregation has a suggested donation price based on the amount of magazines that are ordered. This would be easier to keep on the down low as opposed to asking for a 'suggested donation' from each publisher as they get their mags. They could mention it in the accounts report as simply a donation to the society for the world wide work, alongside the other expenses the congo is responsible for. Ofcourse this type of concept would probably be an illegal tax evasion.

  i have just spent the last 3 or 4 hours reading everyone's posts and i am so thrilled and relieved that sites like this exist which allow us ex jw's to express ourselves.

  i feel compelled to share my story, even though it is probably quite unremarkable.

  i have this feeling that finally being able to express my thoughts albeit on the web, will finally allow me some freedom!.

  Why don't Witnesses indentify themselves at the door when in service?

  my 17 year old daughter told me 2 men were at the door saturday looking for adults that lived in the house.my wife and i were out of town for 2 days.they had suits on and carrying book bags.

  they asked if she was over 18. she replied that she wasn't.

  they left without indentifiying themselves.

  Also, I remember at one service meeting being instructed to not say you were one of Jehovah's Witnesses in your sermon so you'd be more prone to get a hearing ear.

  I recall a brother that always identified himself as a bible student instead of a jehovah's witness.

  Would you have been born if your parents were NOT J-dubs?

  by Highlander in

  i think it's very safe to say that i would not have been born if one or both of my parents were never jw's.

  mom and dad met because they were witnesses.

  if not for this cult, they wouldn't have met and i(their armagedden baby) would never have existed.

  I don't know, but I was born exactly 9 months from the time my parents were at a convention in 1935.

  Hmm. Was there a little hanky panky going on underneath the bleachers?

  I ask myself if I would prefer that my parents were never dubs, even if that means that they'd never meet and I would never exist.
