i spent some time in my early 20's reconsidering that decision to leave jwdom and came back to the decision i made at 16, but was more logical and informed that time around.

I learned to find my way around every nook and cranny of at least three counties in Eastern Kentucky.

Name Certain Things JWs Can't Do

by minimus in

here's one thing to start off our list: jws can't stand for the country's national anthem (but they can rise for the flag salute).

NanaR

They can't give blood even though they can take fractions made from donated blood.

They can't call a Catholic nun "sister", even though they can go to a Catholic hospital.

They can receive charity from Churches but cannot donate to those same charities.

They're all take and no give

i wasjust really curious to see what the average of everyone's "history" is here, and also how many "higer ups" we have that have abandoned the ways.

so what were you, an elder?

a pioneer?

Baptized, publisher, vacation pioneer, pioneer, auxiliary pioneer BUT

I just can't pick up my pieces and continue with my life...

i'm feeling so down lately my psycology has reached to the bottom.

sometimes i wish i never been born.

looking back my life all there is left is pain.

I am so sorry that your family is so under the control of the Watchtower. Your situation is heartbreaking. My husband and daughters have not joined me in the Catholic Church, but they are no longer active Witnesses either. Stories such as yours make me appreciate where I am, even though I continue to pray that my family find Christ too.

I will keep all of you in my prayers.

The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you always,

Ruth

Hey Jeff:

I'm going to be out and away from the computer unfortunately at that time and we don't get that on radio here.

Will the program be archived?
