Amen, country girl! Don't waste your breath. In truth, if someone is going to change their minds on something like this, they almost need a life-altering experience. When it happens, then they'll start asking the questions. That is why I don't even bother talking to mormons or jws at the door--- they are all geared up to convert me at my door.

OK Non-believers, time to put up or shut up...
by startingover inall you fellow non-believers, i know that title got you ready to go.
all your logical arguments were in hand ready to fire back.
sorry to disappoint you, but after that last go round with the believers i had to walk away from the computer.

Do you mean one of those special talks where no names are mentioned but everyone knows anyways ? That is the kind or talk where if you don't know the who and why, you ask a bunch of questions afterwards .

At what age did you start to notice that you were getting/looking "Old"?
by JH in.
we all get older every day, that's not my question, but at what age did you notice that you weren't able to do as much as when you were younger, or at what age did you start to see a different person in the mirror..and it didn't please you.

33 was the year of reckoning. Weight gain became an issue so I had to eat healthier and less. Gray hair - I have red hair and dying it is hard to match. In fact, it is never the same color anymore. Otherwise, not so bad. I sure am happier on the inside and enjoy life more actively now. It helps to hang out with people older than me...then I feel so young!

I can relate! My parents tell my non-jw family they call me on my cell (only phone I have) and I just don't call back. They say it hurts their feelings, being out of my life. Oh, and they email me too. That pissed me off. I showed my aunt my cell records - SURPRIZE! no calls. Now the JW family openly admits they are shunning me to draw me back to Jehovah and tell my non-jw relative they are the reason I am still out because they refused to shun me too. They lie more that the non-jws I know. It makes me sick. I am out of the jws and still defending myself against them. If they really miss Blake, they can see him but you do not need to feel any responsibility for their choices. He is their flesh and blood and if they choose not to be a part of his life now it is really their loss. Hopefully, they will change their minds.

Our KH was losing so many publishers that the territory kept getting reduced. They had to give portions to neighboring KHs. But, the JWs in the former territory were to still attend the same KH. Then, the elders got in trouble with the CO for counting everyone at the meeting in attendance records and not posting it on the announcement board. The MS's had been instructed to even count babies! Apparently and MS had a conscience matter on this and approached the CO in service for advice. Well, suffice to say, that MS took hell from the presiding overseer for ages. Actually, I don't think he even goes to that KH anymore. How long after you are inactive (AKA not turning in service time) before you aren't counted as a publisher of the congregation? I didn't turn in time for over a year and I was still counted. Found that out when mommy and the COs wife dropped by to say "HI." I had to move 2 hrs away to get away from the elder irritation so I suppose I am not counted now because I am out of their territory.

Typical JW better-than-you-ares!! I actually feel sorry for him. Why did he feel any need to contribute at all!! Especially after she told him he still wasn't good enough to associate with. Was it the "I prayed to Jehovah" line or what?? The day a JW would pay for something for me, especially a vacation!! Now this JW can comment at the KH about Jehovah answering her prayer through a non-JW. This woman should be ashamed of herself. She couldn't ask fellow Jdubs for the $$$?

Maybe they are just really really big?? Seriously, the tapes show just how it is. I couldn't hear the JC meeting tape but for any who have not experienced an elder or the behind-the-scenes JW action, this has got to be a huge eye-opener. I have tried to explain the s*** they pull but couldn't get it across. I played the tapes to my boyfriend and he freaked out.

Dreaming
by geevee inhi all, well this is an odd one, but lately, my wife and i and our youngest son have been having dreams that we are at the meetings, but when we are there, it doesn't feel right, we know that we dont want/or shouldn't be there.
people are fussing over us, but all we want to do is get out of there.
other times, we are giving talks and so forth.

I had dreams of the meetings, field service and socializing with JWs too. Only, I called them nightmares. When I was still "trying to like it" the nightmares started. When I decided once and for all that I was never going back, it was a huge relief and the nightmares ceased. Now, I can even drive by a JW KH without screaming obscenities . Fellow passengers REALLY appreciate the new me .
