hi, i'm looking for brooklyn bethel pics...i want to send them to media with.
silentlambs march information, so they can publish something on friday.... can someone share those pics or give me a link?
i was just wondering the age of most people on this forum.
i am only 18. i was just wondering if there is anyone else out there who posts and is so young.
or how old you were when you (1) left/faded from the jw organization, (2) how old you started posting here, and how old you are now.
I was raised in the "truth", Got baptised at 19 ( b/c of peer presure), faded away at 21, got married to a "worldly" man at 22, started going to non-denominational church 1 1/2 years ago, found this sight in June of this year, been here ever since, Now 32 years old.

how many of you are totally, incredibly happy in your marriage?
how many of you feel that your spouse is your absolute soul mate and you couldn't even imagine your being married somebody else?
talking with the women at work, i'm surprised at how many are not totally happy.
Yes I am totally, happily In love with my hubby. We have been married for 10 1/2 years and still newly weds. I am truely blessed to have found him.

just wondering about some of the profile pics...i think its nice to know a bit about the person you want us see, or the person you don't want us to see.
so what were you thinking when the pic was taken, how long ago, and where were you?
mine was taken last month, just after my 36th birthday.
do any of you good people of jw.com remember going to a district convention and hearing that little announcement the chairman would make before the bible-drama started?.
it generally went like this: "please remain seated during the drama and please do not obstruct other peoples view if using recording equipment such as camcorders" and he would also say "please do not use flash photography because it distracts others and is of little use.".
they made such a fuss anyone would think we were all going to witness the second coming of christ, floating down on his chariot onto the field!
This is not exactly a drama picture but it is the biggest mistake of my life. It is my baptismal day. I am the one in the flowered dress about midway up and to the left of the picture,behind the black lady with the brown sweater. I was going to change to be baptised. uuuggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!

for those who have left the organization, have any of you gone to another church?
or did being a jw simply turn you off religion altogether.
i feel i would like to still belong to a religious group (that's just in my personality) but of course, i would feel really guilty at first going in to "babylon the great".
It took me about 9 years to even attempt to step into another religions building and was scared I was going to be attacked by demons. My step daughter asked me about 2 years ago to go to a new church with her b/c she was looking for one herself. I decided to go and see for myself if I were going to be attacked. We went to a non-denominational church (affiliated with Assembly of God Church). I loved it. No one dressed like a beauty contest. All casual. And no demons attacking me. Just down to earth people. Friendly, welcoming people. It has now been almost 2 years. I am on the choir, work in the nursery. I got baptised as a christian in December. I am very happy with were I go now.
