i recently moved back to my home town after being away for several years and doing the "fade".
i have family still in, so people heard that i was back in town.
i got six invitations to the memorial and a couple of phone calls about the special talk.

we had a co looking for a certain experience for an assembly part coming up and the elders in my hall at the time sent him to see me, since i usually had good experiences out in field service.. anyway, after speaking with the co, i was sorry to inform him that i did not have an experience that suited the type he needed.
he told me that was o.k.
because he could use me anyway for another part.
I was offered an assembly part once. An Elder from a neighbouring congo called me and asked me about doing a part relating to any FS fears I've conquered. I said 'sorry, no'. He asked if I was sure and I said that yes, I was sure. I could swear it was like he was grasping at straws. I never got offered another assembly part again. LOL! I could've made something up if I wanted to, but I didn't. It blows my mind that it's so common and that it's even expected of people.

Been there, done that... it wasn't fun. It was freaking embarrassing!
It's YOUR life CJ. Nevermind little ol' me...

Vamp, why do you cling so hard to the WT foot in the middle of your back? Celebrate your birthday. Have some damn fun.
It's NOT MY idea of fun...
Do what you want, CJ...

I personally don't give a shit about whether it's pagan or not. I've spent my whole life not celebrating; why start now? I'm not bothering with it myself and I'm not freaking out about it.
Do what you want to do...

just a brief introduction, i thought i would try out one of the more established forums, have done some stuff on youtube and other places but thought i would give this a try.. potted history: raised jw by mother, in it for 30 years or so, baptised at age 18, regular pioneer at 20, ms a couple years later, mts at 26 and got assignment to a new cong, elder at around 29, came off pioneering around 31, came off as elder around 32, started to slowly wind down, completely stopped attending about 3 years ago, disassociated dec 2010. pause for breath.. the last 5 years or so have been a painfully gradual process of deconstructing myself and then piecing together fragments of my shattered life that are still valid outside the organisation.
the question 'who am i?
' has been a continual investigation; every day for the first couple of years i would realise another subject or issue that i didn't have my own opinions about.
Welcome Millions!
I'm glad you were able to see friendships on the inside for what they really were. I wish that I could cut ALL ties but devout family still inside prevents me. Thankyou for telling us your story. Enjoy this madhouse and stick around...

hey, here's one more free mind.
i've been researching and reading posts here and finally decided to join.
i have to say i'm grateful for this site.
I bid you welcome, Pika_Chu,
Welcome to the nuthouse. (LOL) This can be a pretty fun place but tread carefully in the debate threads. Please do tell us about yourself whenever you feel ready. (At least tell us if you're a boy or a girl...)

now is a good time to start making preparations for the memorial night demonstration at your kingdom hall sunday, april 17, 2011, after sundown.
the evils of the watchtower org.have to be exposed and this is an ideal time to do it.
many around the world have been adversely affected by their association with jehovah's witnesses.
Sometimes I gotta call it as I see it...

from a friend via email today;.
why men are seldom depressed:.
men are just happier people --.
If anyone would try to apply this to me, thinking I'm a typical male, I'd have to call it bullshit! I'm not simple and, yes, I am constantly depressed...
