What are the people at Bethel like? What's the GB like?
by doubtful ini can't even count the number of times i've heard people say how incredibly humble and down-to-earth and caring the exectuives at bethel are.
i've had one first person encounter with a gb member..i forget his name although i would be able to identify him in a picture.
he did seem genuinely nice.

What year Did you Stop Attending Meetings - How Long were you a JW ?
by flipper ini'm trying to compare some statistics and figures on this to share later in the thread to see if more long-time witnesses are exiting- or are newer witnesses exiting after a shorter period of time.
and - are more people exiting in the last 10 to 15 years than before.
so your answers would be helpful in looking into this .

Not During a Pray - But in 1984 I was in my teens, Giving a Talk in the Side Room #2, when My brothers and 2 of our friends Started to make me Laugh... I started gigiling , smirking and started to laugh when I leaned over the Podium and pointed at them AS I was now getting hysterucal ..and Said " You better Shut UP " I just couldnot go on I stood their for 2-3 mins Just Laughing as the Rest of room was silent . . except for my brothers __ I could not finish . . The Brother came Up and just stuttered out "A aaacAAAA well AAAHH aaa I . . . He gave me a "W" hahahahaahah . .. .
By the way He was the worst Stutterer in the World He was the highlight of the meeting I realy felt bad for Him .. wonder if he ever felt bad if he ever disfelowshiped anyone
