Yes, train stations mostly...laundry mats, breakfast places, we would only go to places like these, not people's homes...

I believe in the seat belt law here in Illinois, "click it or ticket", and I am not sorry for it...knew too many that lost their lives because they were not wearing a seat belt...

Were you a non-spiritual JW?
by moshe ini sure tried to act spiritual in the beginning of my jw life.
i could go through the motions of being a good jw, but i just never could get turned on with being spiritual.i gave great talks and when i was an elder i could fill in for a no-show and never miss a beat.
however, my wife at the time always complained that we didn't do the family study or study the wt lesson ahead of time.

My Spiritual Awakening has turned to........
by AK - Jeff ingeneral apathy about religion.. i don't know precisely when it happened.
but at some point i began to stop needing anything 'organized' in my life religiously.
not too long ago - as attested to by multiple threads i started here - i was still wishing to replace the ritual of religion at the kingdom hall with some other church.

I hate to say this because I really don't want to have a big duscussion about it...(I was worn out by the other threads about atheism/agnostic that I read but did not contribute too much)...but my life is a whole lot simpler being currently without religion.

If Creationism is true explain races.
by DeViL DriVeR 76 inso the bible speaks of how multiple languages came to be in babylon with the tower of babel, you all know the story.

Funny...this thread brings back a JW childhood memory. I was in speech class and had to give a speech on a topic. My parents made me do it on how all the races came about, it was so embarrassing, I got made fun of for weeks....I never really did understand it which is why I can't remember what I told everyone so I could post it...oh well. I look forward to reading other posters, their comments. Maybe something will jog my memory...

Yes. MY PARENTS caused me to have a disorder due to GUIDANCE by the WTBS. So, my parents felt I was a chubby kid, so they put me on a diet. I lost weight. Well, I continued to lose weight at one point because I was growing up, the baby fat was going away. Then my parents decide that I am losing too much weight, they wanted to me to be 105. Some days I was 103.5. If my dad decided I looked too thin that day, he would tell me to get on the scale. If I was under 105, they would force me to eat 10 cookies at 10:30 at night (After the TMS), then they would tell me to get on the scale the next morning, low and behold, I didn't gain weight from those cookies. So, the same thing would happen the next day until I reached 105. Keep in mind, I was homeschooled, pioneering, and working part time. No wonder why I didn't gain any weight, yet they never considered the fact that I was just so busy...so this process continued for a couple of years. Then I decided to take control of my life....and my weight.
I decided that I wanted to be bulemic. Got the idea from a friend. It started when I was 17 and lasted until I was 23. I broke blood vessels in my eyes all the time. I wanted to get back at my parents, why did I develope this eating disorder? Why did enjoy being 87 lbs? Why did that make me so happy....absurd.
I became a very self destructive person for awhile there...thank goodness I came to my senses. I have a life to live. I have children who I want to see grow up. See, when you had an eating disorder, it stays with you the rest of you life, I ve just learned to have some self control.
