  A few months ago my sister (baptised when she was 16 and left at 18 now 44 but not "formally" dfd)

  came "back to the fold." She hasn't spoken to me but has to my younger sister. She called her at 1:00

  last sat night. My little sister said she sounded different...yeah, brainwashed. She emailed me and

  said that she has to distance herself from me because our values are so different. (I can tell you a few

  stories about her!!!) Anyway, she encourged me to study the history of JWs using books (not the web)

  which is exactly what I did. Even better, I used ALL Society publications. Should I tell her that I researched

  everything or just leave it alone????

  I hated all of them. They seemed old, staid and fuddy-duds. They also came over

  our house a lot and ate VAST amounts of food and hinted that they needed gas money,

  even though my family was virtually on the poverty line.

  JW's humble?

  by donny in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  during my trek through the jw's i often heard talks and comments stating how witnesses were humble and meek, unlike the haughty-title loving people of the world especially christendom.

  well i just received my 2010 alumni directory that covers everyone who graduated from the two high schools that were part of the district i live in.. so i spent the afternoon parusing its pages when i came across a listing for a guy who is now an elder in the congregation i used to attend.

  here is how he describes himself.

  Any feedback on this? I have been a court reporter for almost 18 years, both in court and

  freelance. After 10 LONG years in the official arena, I am thinking about starting up on my

  own. I ordered business cards and created my own website so all I need is to make that

  final step. Have any of you started up your own business recently? I am scared as heck but my job

  is making me a wreck. (I have two years to go until I finish my undergrad in accounting.)

  I'd like to know who you were before you were baptized a JW? Were you raised a JW? What religion or denomination of Christianity did you profess before you became a JW.

  by SAHARA in

  if you were raised a jw, how well did you research the history of the org.

  before you were baptized?

  if you were a convert to the watchtower society , how well did you know the doctrines of the faith before your conversion?

  Born in. My grandmother became a JW in the early 50s and my mother converted my

  father, if you want to call it that. He's one of those half in half out hanger-ongers even

  after 40 years hasn't made a MS. My older sister was nuts and got baptized at 16. I knew

  from as early as about five that as soon as I was old enough to leave I would, and I did.

  I never bought into the BS. Had some pretty good friends though. Still have one who's

  still a JW but we don't talk shop....

  So I am leaving the Marriott this morning after a delightfully sinful evening with a

  certain doctor that I hook up with every now and again for some therapy :),

  feeling great about the

  world and then I get slammed.

  The first wave of witnesses hit me coming out of the lobby. Second wave hits

  me when I am leaving market with my coffee....the third wave hits me as I am

  coming into the courthouse where I work!! I finally said, please, no. My parents

  tried to raise me as a JW but failed miserably.....

  Thanks, everyone.

  Took a mental health day and went to see my counselor. To make matters a little more complicated,

  I've recenty been diagnosed with bipolar and am adjusting to the meds. I was being treated for

  depression and anxiety for years to no avail.

  As for my mother, you are all right. I have been living the don't ask don't tell policy for years. I think

  my mother is freaking out because deep down she knows she's wrong. She blamed me for

  tearing the family apart, when really, it's the religion that has been doing it for years.

  I am taking it as it comes...still have a job and I made the dean's list again at university. My son

  is the best kid and my dog loves me even when I yell at her. :)
