  a jw i used to know died recently.

  she was almost exactly the same age as me - we were born just days apart.

  she had battled cancer for almost a decade.

  bumped into an old friend of my mothers.

  her daughter died in a car crash over 30 years ago.

  the truth is all she can talk about and seeing her daughter again.

  I remember being told not to view a person's death as the last time you'll see them (new system). I think yhis really messes dubs up because then they don't fully grieve for their loved ones and as a result they can't then move on with their lives.

  DID YOU DEDICATE YOURSELF BEFORE BAPTISM OR DID YOU LIE?

  by free2think in

  i was just wondering when you where going through the questions for baptism did you know you had to dedicate yourself to jehovah before hand or did you lie?.

  i didn't know i had to so when i went through the questions i had to lie and say i had.

  i always felt bad about it afterwards and quickly did a little prayer that night.

  Very true Marcel, i think it's ridiculous to put so much pressure on young people to get baptized especially when there are so many others things happening in their lives during those formative years.

  BB good point. I agree with you completely.

  my girlfriend that i brag to everyone about, and treat like a queen, is leaving me.

  i actually got df'd over her, and have been with her for over 5 months.

  we were so close, i just totally never, ever saw this coming.

  when i was little there were several elderly ones in our hall that were of the annointed class .

  i was lead to believe that they sent in surveys of a sort to the society regularly.

  about their opinoins on theocratic matters .i was told that they ,all the annointed, contributed material to the magazines .

  i am constantly amazed at the courage of the human spirit.

  having triplets alone would be a momentous task, let alone what else comes with it: .

  remember when we listed all the not at home doors when we were out in service?

  what did you do with your list?

  we use to give it to the one taking the lead on that day.

  I was one of those people who either didn't have a pen or paper or who wasn't really concentrating. I was usually too busy trying to get out of the ministry altogether when I was growing up. When as I got older and started pioneering I did take not at homes but I didn't used to hand them in very often, I would keep them for another time but never really managed to go back, oops.

  wow thank you for all the replies.

  I agre with what a lot have said. I was fearful of the big A and I know it definitely made me feel more pressured, i thought if i got baptized i would be closer to being saved when the time came.
