  My First Earthquake and I Didn't Even Feel It

  by Kenneson in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there was an 6.0 earthquake yesterday morning along the west coast of florida and you would know it i didn't even feel it.

  it's really rather bizarre, as some people felt it and others didn't.

  but, in a sense, i'm glad that it was nothing serious--at least no one was hurt and there was no damage.

  Ever know of a great family movie, the Witnesses found demons or evil in?

  i remember growing up, the witness children were often ones that were left to see all those g rated movies from disney.

  yet even those at time, while accepted by just about every religion out there, were considered demonic.

  for example, the following movies were said to show witchcraft and in or congregation we were encouraged to discard them and not own copies of them; sleeping beauty, snow white, the little mermaid, bed knobs and broomsticks, and fantasia.

  Did you block out your Witness life?

  by achickwwit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i stopped going to meetings at age 19 or 20. my brother had been df'd.

  my sister and her new bethalite husband had left the organization labeled as apostates, and my single mom followed suit.

  i was pretty much raised by the congregation, though i lived with my isolated mother.

  Do YOU Still Act Like A Jehovah's Witness?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some habits are hard to break.

  many of us were raised as jws and when people try to 'put you down', they might say something like, "you're still acting like a witness".

  i wonder whether or not we sometimes do exhibit witness "traits".

  How 'diverse' is your life now?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what have you done with your life, what friends have you made, what goals have you pursued, that were impossible to do as a witness?.

  i know that in our case, we have few friends yet, due to spending most of the past few years 'healing' from the borg-torture.

  i discuss politics and religion freely with many of them.
