  What if regular meeting attendance wasn't a requirement?

  we all know how regular meeting attendance is the ultimate way of measuring the "faith" of those among the religion, other than field service reports.

  what do you think would happen with the attendance numbers if you were only encouraged to go as a sort of option, if you weren't hounded for not attending regularly?

  hey folks!

  this is just an example of how the uber-dubs shun all of society.. my daughter and her best friend went skating the other night.

  my cousin's daughter (who is still a jw) was there.

  for the past weeks, i have gotten in touch with a lot of old high school classmates.

  a lot of them i've found over the internet.

  after reading their profiles and talking to them, to my surprise, a lot of them are professionals with degrees like doctors, engineers, business, etc.

  for me it was bible reading, where you could express your own opinion, in line with present truth of course.. pre the change it was awful listening to some fool telling you his opinion of bible highlights.

  i have a older sister that i have shared my feelings with about my doubt that jws are truly god's organization.

  the reason she can promise is because she doesn't go to meetings herself.

  " so i say, "well what if they did call would you open the door?

  District Assemblies Not All They are Cracked Up to Be

  you hear about them for so long.

  the grand boasting session is supposed to be the biggie.

  there is so much hype about the motels that are on the list, which will come out right around jan 1. you are supposed to call ahead, and usually people get busy signals and full motels.

  i have been so reluctant to post basically because i am so torn about exposing my personal life.

  i happen to come across this website by mistake about 6 months ago.

  i agreed with your opinions of the jws view on higher education and independent thinking that i found on this website.
