There was a thread here recently-I think more than one about my area, Northern Illinois, mass DFing of teenagers!
I do not know who has repented since...but I do find it fitting to this thread...

The young ones are leaving in droves!!!
by 1914BS ini hear that many congos are loosing all their young dubs and now only very old dubs are left.
it seems the jws religion is dying out because there are no youngins to replace the aging ms/elder/cos .
the young dubs are very internet savy and would rather play warcraft than go out in the field circus.. i remember a wt study article a couple of years ago that was entitled" when a young person rebels" or something like that - anyone know that mag?.

Did You Personally Believe "The End" Was Going To Come In Your Lifetime?
by minimus inhonestly, i never believed in the chronology.
"no man knows the day or the hour" was pretty clear to me..

Yesterday, I was with my former pioneer witness mom...she mentioned she never believed that our family (non-JWs) would die at Armagedon, it was after I was talking about how I used to cry at night thinking about my aunt Colleen & aunt Donna dieing on Dooms Day...I had never known my mom did not believe it...
I was not sure yesterday how I felt about that comment, of course my mom and I do not have the best relationship...but maybe I was just shocked because growing up I really thought my parents were die hard JWs and here my mom had these thoughts...

What UNUSUAL MARRIAGES have you seen among JW's?
by BonaFide inthese are couples that i know personally.. a brother i know married a sister 36 years older than him.
he was 35, she was 71. they are still married 5 years later.
they do not get along, and they make that known to the entire hall.. a brother that has been married twice and is 50 years old recently married a 19-year old.

palmtree67-Yes, I am unlucky. At the time, it seemed like my world was ending, just goes to show you I was young. My parents seemed to go to such extremes with me, it was just another thing that happened. In this case, they did the right thing, I do thank them for that. I am 35 now, and I have a 12 year old daughter, the thought of it happening to her...oh my.
Are you still married to him if you do not mind me asking?

When I was 17, there was this 32 year old brother who contacted me while my parents were on vacation. I had the biggest crush on him, so obviously I was so excited, perhaps I could run away with him, and he could take me away from my parents!
When my parents returned, he came over and asked them for their permission to date me, and that when I turned 18, he wanted to make plans to marry me. My parents said...are you out of your mind, your 32! That day, my parents put the house up for sale, and sold it in a week. We moved to another hall, another territory to the north.
It was a huge scandal in the hall, you should have seen our goodbye party with everone knowing about me and the 32 year old, and we actually never did anything, never had the chance.
But, it would have been very strange to marry him looking back on it now obviously, but at the time, it broke my heart!
Thought above somewhat fit this thread?

Jay Leno or Conan O' Brien
