  Well they're not shunning me, except for the momster, but that has nothing to do with the JW org.

  They are however very careful with what they say around me. They don't pressure me to go back or say "The end is near, I'll miss you not being there" and all that jazz, but they are somewhat stand-offish when I present facts and truths about their chosen religion.

  Other than that, it's all right. I am respectful of their life style, and in return they are of mine. I actually have a couple of JW Facebook friends, and the same thing goes, we don't bring it up, we don't try to convince each other.

  do you know of any "jw" teenagers that were very bad in morals, but later in life they become elders, elderettes, etc...?

  what were they like?

  what are they like today?.

  Whoooa that's a bunch of Loose Lucies up there!!!

  In my experience, it was more of teens being total sluts and potheads and lushes, but still able to pioneer, make presentations and give great speeches, especially the brothers. Ugh I disliked that little group soooo much growing up. They were snotty, they were not bullies like the 'pious' teens, but they had this air about them, as if bragging about their wild ways outside the congregation but being considered pearls inside it.

  It sucked that whenever someone would snitch about them, no one would believe. Brother Johnny would never! He has fifteen studies, has helped baptize eight of them, and the hours and magazines placed!!! Why, I never....

  Nowadays they are still doing their good deeds, but from what I hear they've calmed down a bit. Except for their enthusiasm with guns (machine guns and whatnot).

  Lol

  Hey exwhyzee that last one is HILLARIOUS. But your wife and her sisters sure are lucky to have such a reasonable man, others would just lock up their daughters and 'git their guns' to threaten the young men (my uncle did this. Shotgun wedding anyone?)

  Terry- My glob, poor lady!!! And she was so nice and all, jebus :(

  exwhyzee- Wow what a brat, but I bet the look on her face when she saw you and your good looking family was priceless!!!

  designs- HA, you homewrecker you!

  Band on The Run- The first guy was such a jerk to leave you like that!!!! Well, I have no problem myself with the women asking men out first, or even proposing. I however got an old fashioned husband, he did the asking and he keeps the dates :)

  Jim_TX- That Nelda lady sounds... kinda crazy lol. Who does that stuff??? Man, must've been a very awkard ride!!!

  what happened? - We got another homewrecker lol.

  I absolutely HATED listening to this bs when they were read during Watchtower or book studies!!! Gaaaaaarrrr I sat there, with this incredulous smile on my face and looked around, thinking "They can't think we're that dumb, surely not????!!!!" but most around me had such dreamy smiles, pride, or were drooling.

  Perry, thanks, growing up with a childish mother makes the kids grow up real fast. Especially when growing up with the JWs.

  biometrics, now that's going out in style I'm guessing!!! You didn't even get the proverbial "I'm going out for cigarrettes"!!!

  heathen, the smelly dates are the worst!!! I've heard so many nasty ones, it's incredible how many there :o But this is the first I've ever heard of someone smelling like raid, what's up with that!!!!???!!!

  Low-Key Lysmith, awwww!!!! But you were such a gentleman about it as well, most people would just stay inside the bathroom and, like the movie-date up there, probably just wait or sneak out of the date!!!

  wha happened? either one I guess, hillarity ensues in any occassion!!!
