When I was in I was semi shunned. I was in a congregation that was 75% black. I am white, single and middle aged, dressed the way I wanted to (read cleavage) and was not over the top theocratic. I was left out of everything. No one invited me over and I was ignored at the meetings. Once I wasn't even put in a car group when I showed up for the service meeting on a Saturday morning. They left me totally out of the plans, like I was invisible. I was so hurt I went to the mall all by myself and spent a lot of money on myself.

Poor young man, if he doesn't get out, he will be washing windows for the rest of his life. "A mind is a terrible thing to waste," as they say.

by RayPublisher injw.org faq trickery #1 - are only jehovah's witnesses going to be saved?.

Hands down what disturbs me most about Jehovah's Witnesses is their self righteous attitude. (I used to have it, I 'm embarrassed and shamed by my actions.)
