The Van Morrison song just blew me away. He seriously must have been confused about where he was. Sounds like a Southern Penecostal church to me. Getting the spirit, rocking the building. Maybe the others are from after I left in 1990?

Hello--new to the witnesses...and you
by LKM injust wanted to introduce myself.
i went to the kh for the first time 2 weeks ago...and will go again tomorrow.
i don't believe anything witnessy...(i was raised in the assembly of god church and now the closest thing i "do" with religion is yoga or sometimes the buddhist temple).... but the man i'm in love with is a df'd jw (we've been together for 6 years).... and he wants to get reinstated just to talk to his family again (i can assure you he does not believe it).... and he wants his family to accept me because we are about to get married... so, i'm going to meetings...its very interesting, but only because it shows me more about how he was raised.

Good Luck! Unless things have changed in the 21 years I have been out, I think you are going to be pestered about having to study with someone. And I doubt they have changed. I am trying to be positive and have erased and started over a couple of times now. Go along with your guy, keep the smile on your face, don't let your real feelings show. He gets reinstated and then can be inactive. The family will talk to him and you. We are here for support.

It seems to me I used to see them more often. We had a group going around our neighborhood and I told my kids they weren't JW because they were all wearing jeans. Sure enough, some other church was having a special thing going on.

Maybe they didn't have a belly button until Eve gave birth like Mork from Ork!

Wow, those elders seem rather lax. Most of my rather large JW family worked at fast food restuarants. SO of course the only days we all had off were Christmas and Thanksgiving. We were told that it didn't look good to the neighbors, that we must be celebrating the holidays, so we weren't supposed to have any family gatherings on the holidays. This year I have contacted my cousins who are all DF and we will be spending some time together for the holidays. This will be the first time I will spend time with my family in 21 years. Facebook is a wonderful thing. So there will be at least 4 of us bad terrible cousins and their mom/stepmom all getting together.

My getting out song was Here I Go Again by Whitesnake:
I don't know where I'm goin
but I sure know where I've been
hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday.
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
but here I go again, here I go again.
Tho' I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for.
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on
'cos I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.
Here I go again on my own
goin' down the only road I've ever known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time.
It was popular in 1987 and I left in 1990. -

Tonight Glee had a sing off using the song Out Here on My Own.
"Sometimes I wonder ... who I am, do I fit in. Out here on my own.
Always proving who we are."
For some reason it struck a chord with me tonight. That we are the ones out here on our own.

Oh yeah, you might want to check out Meet up or Yahoo Groups. Not knowing where you live, there are several areas that have meet ups for us exes. It really helped me with finding the people who understood because they have been there too.
