Thank you so much David Jay for sharing your story!
An excellent reminder not to let our old JW personality wave that "weirdo flag" in people's faces.

Your Jehovah’s Witness Is Showing
by David_Jay insince i just signed up and posted a few times without doing this yet, here is my story..
i think that i became a jehovahs witness because of my immaturity.
i had some quirky personality traits, and i joined finding that i fit in because, as i said to myself: these people get me.

Had the C.O visit this week...went out on service and Wow
by MrsR-Awaken inthis is my first post here (not being comments) but i still have to tell my story but for that i need to get my mind together in other to give as much detail as possible to be able to share it.
will do in a future post.. anyway i had to share this.. so i went out on service this morning (i never do i always end up excusing myself because i hate field service) reason i did was to see what the new c.o had to say and he sure did say something.
he was saying what we had to present and he went over the watchtower magazine.

American accents, Bette Midler, Clinton, Rick Fearon, Strathclyde, Morningside
by slimboyfat ini used to enjoy being able to distinguish different local accents, but for some reason i've got worse at it.
i was thinking about this today when i was listening to bette midler on the scottish radio.
i thought to myself i quite liked her accent and also that it reminded me of someone else.

Have you seen season one of the TV series Fargo? Billy Bob Thornton and Martin Freeman do an awesome Minnesotan accent. It is fun to listen to. -

Are there any ex-missionaries here??
by fulano ini have been a missionary in the dominican republic for almost 10 years and i was wondering if there were any ex-missionaries on this forum.. i am back in my country now for 3 years and totally inactive.. what i noticed in those missionary-years was the lack of spiritual interest among the missionaries.. discussions were about rooms, cars and greater responsibilities, the bad territory.
and the local c.o.s and d.os.. was this only in the dr or are there other experiences??.
ere other experiences?

3rdgen.....My aunt (Sophie Soviak) was in the 2nd class of Gilead and was in the D.R. also. She was known as the one of the Banana Bunch along with her partner Mary Annual, who then went on to marry Joel Adams. Sophie never married and was sent to Argentina where she was an active missionary until her death in 2007. I bet our Aunts served together. -

I am so sorry Rich. I lost my dear nephew a year ago yesterday to suicide and my brother not too long before that. It is a pain that never goes away. At the height of my grief, I had a very good friend tell me "You will get through this, but you will never get over it". Her words have proved true. My kindest thoughts are with you at this terrible time. -
