If still "in", how do you feel when praying in front of a group despite being in doubt of your beliefs?
by Crisis of Conscience init happened to me this weekend.
i'm curently "active" and had some long time friends from a different congregation over for dinner.. we went through the formality of praying before the meal.
normally or rather lately i've been passing it off to someone else.

Public prayer is a "privilege" I'm very glad to be rid of now that I'm just a flaky, R&F occasional meeting attender.
Whenever we do attend a meeting though, I make sure to honor my long-time DFed, gay, brother, by saying a loud, hearty, "Gaymen!" at the end of the prayer.
Try it some time just for the LULZ.

Hello fellow apostates
by gumby ingumby here, thought i'd say hi to everyone.
my nutbag is still intact but it's a tough road to please others in order to keep a family.
really tough.. i'm glad this place is still here as it's a haven for you ex-es and a means to help others to see that when man (governing body) is a mediator between christ and oneself, it becomes a cult.. .

Hey there Gumby!
Nice to hear from you. So how many meetings do you make per month?
If JWN helps your sanity, drop in more often. If not, do what you gotta do.
Take care,

To Those Still Going To Meetings---How Do You Still Do It?
by minimus ini have to hand it to some of you!.

We have faded to the level of attending once or twice a month. We turn in between 3-6 hours of "FS" and haven't knocked on a door in many months.
We still have unbaptized teen-age children and we fairly regularly discuss some point from JW literature. Just from an "awakened" perspective. We're allowed to count that as service time. The kids rarely attend. They're at a "crossroads" in their lives and we don't want to "push them into anything".
We have a territory checked out that won't ever be worked as long as we're "active".
We get a handfull of mags which we briefly peruse before recycling them.
A couple hours a month of our time maintains ties with extended JW family and protects a substantial amount of JW-related income.
Even if it weren't for the income, we'd probably still attend occasionally.
For this, we shall all burn in Moshe's hell.

Hmmm. The territory I checked out about 4 months ago is probably getting "stale" now according to the Congo records. Time to "renew" it the next time I attend a meeting in a week or two.
I hope all those potential sheep appreciate the fact that our family has inocculated them from JW calls for the forseeable future.
