i da'd in feb 06. hadn't heard a word from any jw since then.. about a month or 3 weeks ago, i emailed an elder to ask if my 15yo was still on whatever publisher list it is now.

when i left, she had just been announced (i think) an unbaptized pub.

so i was curious about her 'status'.

What does your congregation do socially now?
by truthseeker in
1. jw
2. friends
if you're still in or hear about jw social activities through the grapevine, what does your congregation do now socially?.

my hall does absolutely - nothing - with the exception of high school graduations.

i read a few posts about jw socialising in the 70s and 80s and honestly, reading about it is completely foreign to me - i grew up in the 80s and never experienced the "good times" of jwdom.. it seems most people do their own thing.
