  Never asks me questions of her own...

  my employee and i have a friendship outside of work, even though i am her boss and about 15 short years her senior.

  okay, i'm kindof a mentor friend.. anyway, she is a jw doing 50hrs a month in service and is a 2nd generation jw.

  if it wasn't for her mom i swear she would jump ship.. i talk very openly about my faith, church, youth group, people in need and how we handle that...etc.. she never asks me anything.

  JWs for the most don't care bout what happens in other churches, unless it opens up room for preaching or somehow shows it to be false religion. Why because they believe theirs is all thats right, so yours doesn't matter.

  Yep any bethelite that is df is df from bethel not there local cong. To be a bethel elder you have to be a cong. elder for I think five years but it might be three. Bethel elders are comissioned with the spiritual welfare of the bethelites. Each bethelite has a Bethel elder group which usually consists of bethel elders that he works with or under, like his overseers or some times crew leaders. Basically it's all set up so that things that happen at bethel stay at bethel.

  Socially Stunted?...you betcha.

  2. friends

  my apologies if this has been done to death, but i was just curious how many of you feel that you have been socially crippled as a result of your association with the jws?

  granted, this probably affects people who were raised as jws more than those who chose for themselves, but i just wanted to see if anyone else has had the same experience...also, how did you work through it if you were able to?

  dear all,.

  hi, i'm roger, and it's been about two years since i posted on here, though i've kept an eye on the forum to keep up with the zeitgeist.

  i've been reading a lot recently, and have felt i'd like to add some points of my own, but when it's been so long i felt it difficult before making some kind of apology for my absence.

  check out this email i got from a jw today: .

  the recall of all humans .

  the maker of human beings is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary central component, or heart.
