  Pixel....you made a rhyme.

  Plus I learned a lot. I think I totally ignored the teachings of abandon. Probably zoned out, looking at the dander in the bro or sister in front of me.

  Does Anyone Feel the Ministerial School Helped Them?

  as a born-in, i was eager to join the ministry school.

  my cousins were also born-in but lived in different states.

  there was keen competition to see who could do mature things, such as baptism (my mom said when i was 35) and ministry school.

  I didn't mind them too much. I was shy and it helped. But to be totally honest, it was my favorite meeting. You never knew what may happen. Once an older sister lost her slip walking onto the stage. Another teenager always got a red strip on his forehead from nerves. Kids were great, when they smiled and waved. Once I gave a talk and only did the intro and conclusion. LOL. But most of the time I couldn't tell you what the talk was about.

  ignoring the fact that all but the super jw's had a random stab at hours done in the ministry, with all the different activities the society said counted as ministry hours, just how accurate is there annual report?.

  what activities do you know of that were allowed to be counted as ministry time?

  here are some i knew of.... .

  My old congregation did phone witnessing when I was young. There were long chats in between the calls. And I remember letter writing was encouraged as well.

  We use to go every Sunday in the mid to late 80's. Use to be so much fun. I don't recall it being a major issue, it seemed everyone just grew up and quit going.they was drama, but silly stuff.

  got this email from my sister today.

  there is a lot of back story, and this isn't a surprise.

  it will be interesting to see how it affects the rest of the family, if they hear about it or not.

  Whatif. What you say is true. When I was about 8 our family moved to a larger city and I experienced many of the things you described. My dad was still a presiding overseer and our rules where still very strict, but there were a lot of witness parties to attend. Thank goodness cause I think those gatherings were my saving grace, kept me sane.

  My children did go to a few themed parties. My son dressed up like a moose for a Noah's Ark party. That was a lot of fun. Those gatherings were my best memories.

  Faithfullwitness, I read your letter. My heart feels your pain. I recommend, like the others taking out anything that points a finger at the org, she will go on the defensive and not hear the words that will really help her, which is your honest and pure love as her sister. Good luck, I hope that over time she will come to realize what the org is really doing to her life.

  i've been here forever.... this site still gives us some of the most up to date info about jws .

  it keeps evolving.

  sometimes it is the place to be and i think that's especially true for newbies.

  I joined 3 years ago. I had seen the site several times and liked the differences of opinions shared here. I could tell a lot of people felt safe to communicate. When I joined, I had already begun my real fade and really valued this board for feedback and support. My life got hectic and I quit coming as often. I had some real revelations that really sank in regarding how selfish the org is and I was good. I've come back more often to check in and read others experiences. I have to say I love Outlaws pictures.
