It was different for me as a "born in". I believed and followed as directed until I didn't believe. Then I drank, smoked, got high, got a girl friend and split.
The two worlds never crossed paths.
Was it similar for some of you other "born-ins" ?

THINGS I did....I wasn't supposed to do....as an active JW
by Terry inon freeminds.org, randy w wrote this about himself:.
even as a strict jehovahs witness for eight years, i never once shunned or failed to speak to a disfellowshipped person.
it is simply cruel.

Adherence to FALSE TEACHINGS required of Jehovah's people: Scottish Court Case transcripts confirm
by Terry inin 1954 a controversial court case, douglas walsh vs. the right honorable james latham clyde, m.p.c.
was held in scotland to determine.
if jehovah's witnesses should be exempt from military service and granted status as "ordained ministers".. what is of outstanding interest is that testimony in this trial is extraordinarily revealing.

My Grand father died (of old age) as a JW, I'm not sure who's fault that was but It's worst thing I can think of right now.
He was a really neat man

Anyone look at this board while still an IN and ACTIVE JW?
by Mad Sweeney ini vaguely remember looking at this board a few years ago, before i ever considered leaving the borg, and being appalled at the evil and hateful attitudes i saw here and scared to death of reading any further.. now i go back through years and years of posts and there is no evil or hate there at all.
it's one of the most kind and welcoming boards i've encountered since the invention of the internet.. that is how well borg indoctrination works.
it is eerily like 1984. black is white.

I've known in my messed up little mind that some place like this must exists.
I never looked for it.
A couple months ago I was searching for something and noticed this place, it caught my attention immediately.
Had I had access to a place like this in 1970's I probably would have refused to look at it.

I'll tell you what my wifes next vanity plate will be. She has been claiming that she is no longer crazy and would like a warmer license plate.
She wanted to have XOXOXO, (in Alaska you can have only 2 to 6 characters) I looked at availability and that was taken but after some brain storming I came up with XESNOS. She has said that would work for her, she's crazy like that.

How did you treat people?
by captain indo you ever feel guilty about the way you pre-judged others when you were a drone?.
i feel guilty about it every day!
people's lives are so complex, we know so little of their personal struggles and "thorns in the flesh" yet we're conditioned to prejudge on a checklist of criteria published by a few men in new york.
