  District Assembly Games

  by *jeremiah* in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i left the jw's when i was 17, so most of these games were played during teenage years.. here are some things i remember doing with my friends during the assembly:.

  1. the last clap.

  after a brothers talk or when "new light" emerged and the entire stadium would erupt with clapping we would see if one of us could be the very last person in the entire stadium to clap.. 2. the laugh game.

  I no longer go to Church

  by KW13 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  at the moment i believe in god but i no longer attend church, infact its been some months since i last went and i've never felt more sure of myself as a person.. the view i take at the moment is that when i left the witnesses, i immediately went to seek out something that would organize my life but give me the control for a while.

  even at church i saw people 'hooked' but the sad thing was, their entire faith crumbled away from the church or if for example the priest (vicar) wasn't there.. i think it was an important part of my journey which helped me get where i am, and i think a lot of folks who leave the org who need something to fill their time and want friends quickly, should try it if its what they need, it was what i needed at that time.. .

  on the whole, i have a problem with organized religion now, whereas last year and earlier this year i woulda said different.. .

  Any information on number of JW's who have left?

  by *jeremiah* in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i'm curious if there is any accurate information out there as far as the number of people who have left the jw's.

  maybe annually or per decade or whatever.. you have those who are disfellowshipped, those who are disassociated, and then those who are never baptised who just kind of walk away.

  i'm sure "the society" has these numbers, yet, i'm sure they don't come off of them.
