What if you could have your JW membership annulled?
by moshe in
1. jw
2. friends
i was thinking what a stampede there would be to do that-what if they made a special announcement at the kh next month, that anyone who felt they had made a mistake in getting baptised could request an annullment.

their name would be removed from the wt records and they would be treated like someone who had never been a baptised witness.. this offer is good for one month only, hurry in to your local kh while this offer is still available.- remember the deadline for this special program is october 31st!.

i think maybe, i've been watching too many end of the year 2006 model new car clearance commercials!.

anyone remember spending most of their time staring out of binoculars for good looking people out of the binoculars for prospects and then spending your free time in that section hunting these people down?.

this past time as i remember was the most wonderful part of the assemblies!.

Hello everybody

i am marion, a friend of fullofdoubtnow (linda), and i have just disassociated from jehovahs witnesses.

i was only announced a couple of days ago, after a lifetime of association.

linda has posted about me before, but it's wonderful to be able to post in my own right, and i am really looking forward to getting to know you all.. i am 59 years of age, 60 in november, and have been a jw all my life, baptised since 1961, and i thought i would always be a witness, but i now know absolutely that it isn't the truth.

What were your seating habits at the hall?
by JH in
1. jw
2. friends
i would always leave a space between me and someone else.

i hated when someone was seated right next to me.

didn't feel comfortable.. i also loved sitting in back of a tall person, that would hide everything, like that i could close my eyes and the speaker wouldn't notice.....lol.

MY SON'S LEAVING HOME!!!!!!!!
by Dansk in
1. jw
2. friends
my older son, karl, is leaving home.

it could be this coming sunday but, if not, definitely sometime during next week.. karl has been a wonderful son and friend.

leaving watchtower was made so much easier because of him - and his decision to exit undoubtedly prompted my wife, claire, to take a look at the damning evidence herself!

i have been out for the most part since 1985. i was told by a friend, that in that year, they changed their views on association with df'd family members.

(i wouldnt know, thats the year i got the boot lol) .

i always thought up till this day, it was ok for imediate family members, but just not to eat with them.
