since i faded i've told a few people at work about having been raised in this organization but i found that most people don't really get what it is like at all.
they just focus on not celebrating holidays as if that is the worst thing about growing up jw.
i didn't explain much because it's too much for most people to handle.
I never liked admitting I was a J.W from a very early age, despite being in the org. until my late fifties. Looking back it was the first sign of a growing Cognitive Dissonance.
Me neither, when people would ask me about holidays and such I would just answer with something very vague or change the subject completely. Then people think your odd or antisocial because you make it very hard for people to get know you.

They probably think that leaving is no more stressful than cancelling a subscription
Yep, like it's a normal church where you just stop showing up. It doesn't work like, there is whole system to keep you in place and for the most part it works. The whole thing is too far out there for most people to get or understand.

People don't get how all encompassing this religion is over your whole life. Most just think it's a strict religion where you go preaching every once in awhile.
the wts encouraged us to have one, i alway found it funny when people would desplay it where everyone could see it to show how busy they are in the lords work.. karter..
Nope, didn't even really count my time, rvs, or magazines properly. I would just count the days I went out and guestimate based off of that. I do remember they had a planner for deciding whether you could auxillary pioneer that would come with the Kingdom Ministry during certain months. Pretty sure they don't do that anymore. Now, there is probably a JW productivity app for Android and iOS.

Yes, it came up in reference to why I didn't go to public school when I was younger. Although, I guess that isn't 100% because of the JWs but I think it was a big factor.
just in.
a jaw dropping announcements and reminders for elders this month.
how can you serve as an elder and believe this organization is spirit directed after reading this letter?.
So, basically it's a "don't ask, don't tell" policy but the married couples are never told about it just the Elders? Doesn't quite make sense.

They also happen to be Christian so I'd rather not offend them by putting down religion in general. I guess most people just won't understand unless they have had similar experiences.
so, first the turning in time got axed, now beards are okay, what is up next?
women wearing dress slacks to the meeting?
birthdays becoming acceptable?
Maybe a female can wear a jean dress at a meeting or bethel tour? What a joke.
My wife and some other sisters always got counseled about wearing jean skirts or jackets to Saturday morning FS.

if amg iii would return now to the congregation, he would be mad because of:.
- rank & file and elders not reporting fs time, very recent an issue to bring someone in highest correction mode.
- jw's with official beard permission .
Yeah, he was probably pushed out because he wouldn't go along with the "new light." Too much of a hard nose to give people a break.
