  Thank You JWD and all you JWD posters!

  i haven't really looked at this site in the last year (or so), but i can think back to when i first found it.

  it was at a time when i was going through a real transition period in my life.

  and i am sure that this website 'sealed the deal' for my exiting the wtbts.

  What is your thought in this

  my wife and i (who are both faders) were having a discussion the other day about how most of the jw kids who were teens in the 90's have now left the religion.

  i mentioned from personal examples of people i knew, that the one ones who left early (around age 17-19) seemed to end up (though difficult at first) with better lives.

  i knew of several who went to college, or learned a trade, married out of the religion and eventually moved on with their lives.

  I'm perfect you're doomed: Tales from a Jehovah's witness upbringing

  by superman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  me and my wife just got this great book from the library entitled 'i'm perfect you're doomed:tales from a jehovah's witness upbringing' writtin by kyria abrahams (an ex-jw).

  i'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned or read it (it's still fairly new), but it is a great book.

  for anyone who was raised in the 'troof' or group up in it you will find it very interesting.

  The Biggest B.S. stories you've heard from a talk

  by superman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a few years ago at a convention, they related a story of a jw who was shot during service.

  but rather then stop and get medical attention (like a normal person would have done) they moved on to the next door to finish the street.

  when they got to the house the householder just so happened to be a (you guessed it) nurse!

  Crazy JW chaperon Stories

  by superman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the jw's must not trust their members or at least don't have too much faith in them when it comes to being alone around member of the opposite sex.

  i can remember one time in particular from when i was a teenager that still makes me laugh today.. when i was younger i used to go out in service on a regular basis during the week when i had summer break.

  one time when i met for service there were only two other people that showed up.

  Is this true

  by superman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been faded and moved out of the area where my records are kept (the old hall i last attended).

  the elders there don't bother calling me anymore and even if they did, i've moved so far away that they couldn't stop over for a visit anyway.

  since i am in a new area now where no jw's even no that i exist, life is pretty good (i can live a normal life without having to look over my shoulder).

  I hate the CO

  by superman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i was talking to my mother the other day, and she was distressed because she was saying that if my little sister isn't baptized or working toward it by the time she's 18 (which is coming up soon) she may have to move out (more then likely she'll move in with me and my girlfriend, or my older sister if that happens).

  my little sister is a great kid (high honor roll, no trouble, hard worker, etc), that many parents would be grateful to have.

  i asked my mom, why would they take parenting advice from a guy who doesn't (and hasn't) ever had kids?

  Vote:DO you think the WTBTS will end with a BANG or a WHIMPER

  by superman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  personally i think it will end with a whimper.

  i think that they will always have members, but after the "system" continues and more and more people get discouraged, df'd, da'd, or fade after a long enough time they will slowly continue to consilidate halls (lose members) until it finally get so small they eventually go by the wayside or switch to something like e-meetings or web-meetings or once yearly conventions.

  any takers??

  Vote:Which are worst small town or big city JW's

  by superman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've lived in both small towns and big cities.

  i would have to say that small jw's are by far the worst.

  they tend to be much fanatical, close minded, creepy, and wierd.

  Some JW's just stopped by

  by superman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am at my girlfriends place (she lives in a completely different territory from me and i don't know any of the jw's around here), right now she's at work so i was just listening to music and reading this site and all of the sudden the door-bell rings (must have been jehoova's direction).

  i look out her window, and i see brother "old as dirt" with a tacky, out of style leisure suit, and one those stupid looking magazine purses (you know the one that they hold under their arms) and the bible in his hand, and with him is sister "desperate looking, 40 year old virgin" probably a pioneer (you know the type, the semi-homely, probably single pioneer that just spews desperation out of their pores).

  well i was going to go down, answer the door, and mess with them (this area is a few hours from where i'm from so nobody knows me here), and do some undercover apostatizing.
