  If you felt/feel that you had/have good, close "friends" in the org, how did/does it feel to just give them up?

  this is my biggest dilema.

  although mentally i really feel i could walk away from the org right now, i still have genuine love for the people i have come to know over the years.

  i love people!.

  privilleges equals spirituality

  what a sad joke!

  posters here talk about the "do more" pushiness in the organization and that is so true!

  elders just assume that you want to carry microphones and work your way up the spiritual ladder to that blissful state of total immersion in "kingdom matters.

  Did Your District Conventions Have A Meat Market?

  i was recently thinking back upon some of my unusual memories of being in the organization.

  one of them was of the dodger stadium "meat market".. we used to attend our district conventions at dodger stadium in los angeles.

  for those of you who arent familiar with the stadium, dodger stadium has a very large level with blue seats - which is the largest level within the stadium.

  how many here have had jw friends that can only have a good time when they drink?

  i've known plenty - ones with obvious drinking problems.

  not necessarialy alcoholics, but ones that equate good times with drinking, and drinking alone.

  Has Anyone Ever Been "Shafted" By The Organization??

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since i've been re-reading crisis of conscience, i've come to appreciate that many good people have been "shafted" by those in the "truth".

  franz and company got the boot.

  my mom got removed as a regular pioneer.

  2. friends

  when i was a jw it was pretty much a weekly thing in the cold weather months for different congregations(actually someone within the congregation) to rent a gym for th bros to play ball.

  i really like playing ball.

  when i left, that as something i actually missed.
