"Then once on stage, seeing all their faces, being able to pick out the ones that were actually listening"
I think anyone( that means brothers) who has given a Public Talk has experienced this. Maybe 10% of the audience is actually listening.

Those With JW Spouses - How are you Coping ? Any experiences ?
by flipper ini wanted to address the folks on board here who really have a challenge on their hands.
and i feel it's good for us to acknowledge the great job many of them are accomplishing with the pressures they have on them living with a spouse in a mind control cult.
i know it would be so easy sometimes for some in that position to say , " the hell with it !

Flipper,
The biggest thing that sucks for me is I can not, rather will not, subject my young kids to the shunning until they have a support group to counteract the shunning. I have told my wife I will write "the letter" but she has asked me not to do that to her. I think she wants the marriage to work even though she is obviously heartbroken about my new position concerning the Dubs.
The positives for me is that my kids do have "worldly"association that my wife encourages. The Hall we are in( I've been once in the past 2 months to help with the kids, has absolutely no love. And she will not turn me in to the elders.
Anyway I have taken the patient approach. If it takes years,so be it. Once my kids are old enough to make a decision for themselves we all know the will be out with Daddy following. I don't suspect it will take that long.
Gotta go smoke a cigar!

My first talk was at 6. I was never nervous, probably because I was a self admitted attention monger. I must admit my public speaking ability has opened doors in my career that were slammed shut due to no college.

Why i liked being a Jehovah's Witness...
by digderidoo inthere are so many reasons why i liked being a jehovahs's witness.
1. we got to count time when we share our faith with nonbelievers or our young children.
2. we didn't have to go to college to get a good job as a janitor or a window washer.
