Useless Drama Pictures
by Matty indo 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!

ANYONE JOINED A NEW RELIGION?
by Mary infor 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.

finally got the nerve
by livingagain ini have been reading posts here for several months, which has helped me to keep from going insane.
my doubts came when i finally got the nerve to leave a bad marriage, why did i stay so long.
because i was ashamed and really scared of what "jehovah" would think of me.
