  .

  i don't know if any of you knew brother littlejohn of nyc, but i just heard that he just died.. if the name sounds familiar it may be because he had many parts on the assembly programs, usually the dramas.. he was a overall nice guy, but i am sure neither he nor his family expected him to die in this"system of things".

  has anyone from the new york metropolitan area heard anything about the caretaker and his wife at the jersey city assembly hall being asked to leave?

  wonder if this is part of the general wt "downsizing" or if there is more to the story?

  To all active JWs or double life JWs

  one of the previous posts made me wonder how many active jws post on this site and how many of you are only in because not wanting to lose your family and you are leading a double life and also how many of you are still active but questioning.

  please, all of you, i would like to hear your stories (of course not enough info to give away your identity) and why you are still in.

  i think a lot of us that are out would be interested.. nowimfree.

  How did you treat your worldly relatives when you were a JW

  2. friends

  i had an interesting conversation the other day with a friend who is also an ex-jw.

  this person is older than i am, and was a jw for a number of decades.

  she was talking about worldly relatives that she basically ignored when she was a jw.

  Why Do We Come Onto These Boards???

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some of us are addicted or simply curious or have been referred to, to see what these boards are all about.

  even when people say that they're done, they're never coming back, they reappear......what's wrong with us?

  i left the org slightly before the change in the "generation that was alive in 1914" thing was announced and wondered, what were peoples in the congregations reactions after this was announced and did it you notice people falling away because of it?

  has it had a damaging effect?

  JWs and depression

  question:.

  it seems that there is a high rate of depression amongst jws.

  does the jw religion cause depression, or are depressed people drawn to the jws?.
