For dancing with my sister to the Irish Rover's song, Wasn't That a Party in the late 70's/early 80's! It was a Witness get-to-gether and we were the only two dancing in the whole gymnasium..
If they could see me now,.....

Whats the dumbest thing you were counselled for?
by Beck_Melbourne ini was once counselled by the elders for watching 'knots landing'....it became widely known in the congregation that me and a few other sisters would rush home from field service to watch our favourite soapie.
if we missed it, we would ring each other up for an update...or...if we weren't near a tv we would ask someone to put the phone handset on the top of their tv so we could hear it...pathetic huh...but that was all the excitement we could scrounge up in our otherwise dull and uneventful lives.
one of the elder's wive's conscience got the better of her...and she confessed to her husband..lol.

It just arrived!
by ozziepost inthanks to amazon.com (where would we be without those guys?
) i've just received my copy of the new book "awakening of a jehovah's witness" by dianne wilson (published by prometheus books, 2002).. the dust jacket carries these words: "her engrossing first-hand account will be of great interest to former witnesses, students of cult phenomena, anyone who has ever experienced an abusive relationship, those who want to learn more about what compels people to enter this group, and all who have everhad contact with jehovah's witnesses.".
it looks like a good read, all 327 pages of it, just going by the table of contents.

I am definitely interested in getting this book as I have read only one other professional book about a Jehovah's Witness: It's called Jim, My life with Aids; written by June Callwood (Canada).
Could you post where I could exactly order this book?
I am interested because my book will be coming out probably within two months and it definitely discusses my life as a Witness: It's called Father's Touch (www.fatherstouch.com)
Thanks for any info. you can post. -

Suicides within Jehovah's Witnesses
by Leander inover the past 3-4 years i've been hearing about a number of suicides that have been committed by jws.
whats even more interesting is that all of the individuals were male and they all had some form of a privileged position in the congregation.
(regular pioneer, elder, minsterial servant, etc..).

'Apostate' or something better???
by Latte indear all,.
i desperately feel that the grand title of apostate applies no more to ex jws than it does to the whole of active jws.. therefore, i am asking for some sort of alternative title for the wonderful people who post on here.
the word apostate strikes fear in the average dub.

Even though I left in '85, I see my life as a Genesis, beginning. I absolutely hate APOSTATE. It in no way defines me and anyway, like I'm going to let someone else define me!
Hope you find a name that works for you...
