this is just an obsevation from me...ok i dont mean to annoy anyone but is it true or just me?.
i feel that ones raised in the truth are so much better of than us who came in from the world.
i say that because they have family who are witnesses too.
"you guys really make it hard to listen to what you have to say."
Ummmm, excuse me, but didn't you just say this was NOT a serious discussion, only "light-hearted". ( Although I don't know what's "light-hearted" about claiming that born-in JW's are better people than ones who come in from the world????? )
????? Are you for real ??????????

Then don't post a serious (and I agree with ATJ - self-righteous) question.

I guess you didn't mean for this to be a serious discussion, then.
He answered your question.
i had a brother approach me once to tell me i was too friendly.
i had the habit of greeting everyone i could in the time provided before the meeting.
it was done sincerely and with personal interest.
You must have an amazing smile, GG!!

"I feel that ones raised in the truth are so much better of than us who came in from the world."
I completely disagree with this statement.
My experience in the "Truth" is that those who are born in seem to feel that they are perfect just the way they are and therefore do not have to work on their in-born personality traits.
Many who came from the world recognise they need to change certain things ( a bad temper, over-drinking, etc. ). But it seems like ones who are born in don't feel the need to change anything about themselves.
hi guys...oompa here.
was i in rehab for alcohol addiction or jwd addiction!?!?
!......no computers or cellphones allowed so i have been awol awhile..... ya, i finally made my self sick enough on booze to realize i was really sick and tired of being sick and tired....so checked myself into rehab without any planning at all and while wife was out of town on a family retreat...it was a a very desperate moment in my life, and i was extremely physically and emotionally sick....i was so desperate i took zero time to reseach where to go, but called an old school friend who said rehab had saved his life and he made the calls and actually took me and helped me check in to the place he went to 5 years ago.
I really missed you.
Keep up the good work!
were you emotionally or mentally unbalanced at any time while you were a jehovah's witness?.
Yes. During the time I was being stalked and harrassed by a group of "sisters".
It reminds me of that scripture that says "Mere oppression will make a wise one act crazy."
Being away from all that craziness has been really good for me.

My ex used to hug a sister who we were good friends with her and her hubby.
One time another sister came up to me and asked if it bothered me that my hubby and this sister always hugged when they saw each other.
I said, "No it doesn't. So it shouldn't bother you, either."
I smiled when I said it, but I hope she got the point.
I'm a hugger and a verbal appreciater. I had it beaten out of me when I was in the Org but I'm finding it easy to get back to who I really am.
one of the books from the bible i still value is proverbs.
it's a collection of wise observations of life.
it causes me to think, which is a good thing.. however, i also know that among us former jw's are life lessons that can be reduced to that of a proverb.
"Unattended children will be given an espresso and a free puppy."
