i am rather new here, so i may be repeating a worn out subject.

however, for me it is rather a new experience, since i have only just recently stopped going to the kh.

my heart has never really been in it, though i am not in total disagreement and have made some nice friends in "the truth".

Badges for Conventions
by ThomasCovenant in
1. jw
2. experiences
each year name badges are handed out at the kingdom halls for those attending the upcoming district convention.

i have always refused to wear one but this was not a major issue as i would say only about 50% wore them anyway.

however i noticed that as the years went by more and more 'brothers' were wearing them including during the lunch break in the city centre concerned.

So....here's my story....
by CordyC in
1. jw

hey guys, it's me- cordy, again with my life story of being in the jws.

i've lived in new york city almost all of my life and have been associated with the jws way too long- since i was a little kid- 8 years old in 1987, plus my mom studied as early as 1983. my mom didn't get baptized until 1995 and i myself got baptized at the age of 17 iin 1996. i know we were probably on a list at some point as a "non-progressive" bible study since it took us so long to get baptized.

my mom and dad split in 1993 and that year was great because we were barely at meetings....then we got a shepherding call and my mom got sucked right back in.

hi.. i have decided to join this site and hopefully connect with some people who will know what my story has been.

i guess it is best to read my profile, but the upshot of this new found technology is that i am no longer alone in my isolation.

i can hopefully reach out and connect with people who really understand what it is like in my head!
