  Where Are They Now?

  you know they have that question about stars that were famous back in the day and they went from child star to porn star.. my question---regarding all the witnesses you knew from years ago, where are they now?.

  these "true believers"---are they still around or are they long gone by now?.

  when i think back to many of the elders that i knew, many are no longer around and those that are are ready to recieve their "reward"..

  I have over the years seen many witness leave and I soon left myself in 2008. I was told that 60% of the people in the congreation I used to go to I would not recognize after four years.It is amazing to see children I used to know at the Kingdom Hall all grown up.

  I made it!! I'm just so freaking happy!!!

  as some of you know, i started college 5 years ago for the first time at age 27. i had been out of the "truth" for 9 years at that time, but had just broken free of the mentality.

  well, on saturday i walked across the stage with the 130th graduating class at rocky mountain college!.

  after 5 years of working several jobs, taking care of two little boys as a single mom, and trying to get the most out of my college experience, i earned my master of accountancy, bachelor of science in business management, and minors in writing and organizational leadership.

  Does Your Life Have Purpose?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  witnesses teach that when you learn the "truth", you finally have a purpose in life.. when some witnesses decide to leave the religion, they might experience an emptiness because they realize now that their way of life really was totally a sham.. are jehovah's witnesses right about those that leave the organization no longer having a purpose in life?.
