I'm a little claustrophobic, but I have to admit that after reading that spider post I may have a little anxiety being around a big ass spider that chases you.

I took my girls to this movie expecting a Narnia type movie. Not so. Very good movie, but I wish I would've looked a little further into this.

Any positive experiences with the JWs?
by greendawn inwe all talk about our negative experiences with the jws and no doubt most were negative but weren't there any positive experiences with some of the few decent jws around?
i recall an old jw who was of the anointed and who was very benign, knowledgable, supportive and opposed to much that the dubs were doing especially the lack of love among the congregations.
also another very good natured dub who would always reward me whenever i gave him a little help with his business.

I met my wife, and had two beautiful girls. Nothing else. Well, maybe some free sheetrock work done for free.

Were you a loud singer?
by HockeyMullet ini don't know why, but i was just thinking of this guy in my hall that sang so loud that it was embarassing to just be there.
he sounded like the love child of kermit the frog and miss piggy.
i remember trying to mimick his voice during one song and getting counseled by one of the bros because i had a few of younger guys laughing.

Was There A Time While U Were A Witness That You Were "Looked Down" Upon?
by minimus indid you ever sense that your own brothers and sisters looked down upon you?

Yep. Damn I should've came to my senses at this point, but I'm just as dumb as I look I guess. I was 19, and It was a couple months after I started studying and showing interest at going out in service. I was regular at meeting also. Well, I had a moment of weakness and went out drinking with some old buddies and get into a fight at the bar. The next meeting I come in with a black eye and some battle wounds, and immediately get counseled by my study conductor and elders. They tell me basically that I'm a dirtball and to not talk to any of the younger sisters "the PO's daughters" because I'm still part of the world. All the young "brothers" in the hall then ignored me for a few weeks until I showed that I could be "trusted". Funny thing is that a couple years back one of these a-holes did a line of coke in front of me, and a couple of the others "turned apostate."

That feeling that it could al be false how did you experience it?
by GBSJG inwhen i started researching i was still convinced that jws had the truth.
so i read some critical articles by ex-jws about certain teaching and i started to do some more research.. at this time i have successfully faded and no longer believe anymore.
but i can remember the moment when i first allowed the thought in my mind that it could all be false and not the truth.

how did you experience it?
When me and my wife-to-be were pleading with the elders to help us deal with the hospital as our daughter needed a blood transfusion, but since we were df'd they told us we were on our own. They said jehovah had abandoned us. Thank goodness that happened. It's too painful to think what would've happened if they would've been there and "helped".

Am going to be reinstated
by Caine inhello true believers.
had jc meeting.
will be reinstated next meeting.

I hope you find peace with your decision to go back, Caine. Do you really think your depression will lift from jw activity? As a jw your told if you don't go to meeting.....you'll die. If you don't go out in service.....you'll die. If you question the FDS.....you'll die. It's an environment of negativity which is why (I believe) so many jw's are depressed.
