  so before you all bash me...yes i still go out in service, i know i should stop but i think what happend today you all will find quite amusing.... so i went out with a women who became a witness about 10 years ago.

  she is from a another country and had been df'ed a few years ago but is a "stong" jw now.

  she was talking about some brother who since he has gotten married has been looking old and been growing a beard.

  Birthday

  by lostinthought in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so today is my birthday.

  one of my "worldy" friends invited me over his house cause he thought being alone on my birthday was horrible.

  we all had ice cream sunday's and we played words with friends, nothing extravagant but a way to recognize that i was born today.

  Choices you have to make after you learn the "truth"

  by stuckinamovement in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  choices.

  by my nature i am not a negative person.

  should i live my life as a hypocritical, tortured pretender, or stand up for what is right and lose my reputation, friends and family?

  i spoke with an elder about university

  by MsGrowingGirl20 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  he always tells me that i've adopted him as a father...we're pretty close.

  i spoke with him asking for some advice about whether or not to pursue my degree.he, to my surprise, couldn't give me his opinion.he told me that if he tells me how he really feels (he says he has some strong views on the matter) he may be disciplined for 'promoting higher education'....in effect he was telling me to go ahead and pursue my degree but not really saying it.

  he asked me to promise him that i'll speak to the presiding overseer and the circuit overseer....i haven't as yet.

  another "dream" thread

  by lostinthought in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  first of all let me say that dreams fascinate me and i really think that they can mean something, anyway, i am still living the jw life (doubts and all).

  i have this friend who is not a jw and he told me that he had this really wired dream about me.

  he said they shunned you, and i was like who shunned me and he said your people.

  30 and Out?

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  30 that seems to put jw's at a cross-roads?

  i've known so many who have decided to abandon ship at either the age of 30 or either after 30 years of being baptized.

  i fall into the former category.
