  This fall semster has been my first time in college...Well, community college. I am in 2 classes on tuesday and wednesday nights from 6-9. It goes by really fast and I've met some great people too. The plus side about going at night is that the people are more mature than the daytime students. 90% of the student's in my class are in their late 20's on up. I wouldn't reccoment taking an online course until your second semester. Also community college is very affordable. It's not as intimidating as you think...well they first day is but after that it's great.

  I figured if I spent 20 years going to 2 meeting a week at night plus all the studying for the meetings why can't I go to college and get something out of it.

  Good Luck!

  I've heard that you have to write the church you used to go to and have the letter say something about you don't want to be recognized as a (lutheren, catholic, etc) and that you are now a JW. I could be wrong but that's what I've heard...

  An old friend of mine stopped going to meetings about 6 years ago. We stopped going around the same time. She always told me how she had no interest in JW guys and had no intention of ever being married to one. Well in the last 6 years she got married and now has her husband studying with her JW father for the past year. She also goes to the occasional meeting but hasn't gone back full time. I asked her if she wants him to be a JW, she said "that's the plan". I really didn't ask any more questions since we are not close anymore but I find it amusing how she made it a point to get with a guy out of the truth and is now slowly trying to bring him into the truth. Yet she tells me that she will never hang out with people in the congregation and will still hang out with their worldly friends. I told her she can't have both and she should know that's not how it works....she just laughed.

  I was just wondering how many of you know or have known of people that have left the truth only to come back married, and try, or have succeeded in bringing their new spouse into JW land?

  When I was 19 I started to do my own thing. I started smoking....but it was the good stuff.

  When I was 21 I started going to so called "witness" parties with the young people in the hall and surrounding congregations. Those parties were really, really crazy. Tons of beer, liquor, dirty dancing, people messing around, and a few hook ups that some people would try to deny.

  I agree with out at last!

  The biggest problem with dubs having stupid children is they are home schooled by their stupid parents.

  I had a friend in the hall growing up who was homeschooled. She never graduated but still had a graduation party. Never got her GED or went to college....Now she's 30 yrs old and doesn't make much $$$. Complains about her job and how she needs more money. She blames the economy as the reason that she can't get a good paying job when the real reason is her lack of education.

  The Boring Life Of A Jehovah's Witness

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when you think back at how boring being a witness was, it's amazing that we lasted as long as we did.. i hear jws get sooo excited when they leave a tract with a person!

  a stupid little tract!

  or if a witness was asked to come into the same car that the circuit overseer was in, it would be considered such a "privilege".

  "We're going out in Field Service, silly! Lots of people should be home and they should even have people over for cookouts. Lots of opportunity to tell them about Jehovah and the End."

  UGH!!! I always hated going out in FS on holidays. It's so rude and tacky.

  The Drama is excellent..... Propaganda

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  let me praise the watchtower society.. their drama is first rate, highly competent propaganda.. yes, a righteous organization is forced to expel unrepentant wrongdoers.

  but there is hope that they can return to the "truth".. tears stream down faces.

  a triumph for jehovah's organization.. .
