My whole family faded out. If people choose to follow the rules of this cult, which is so "high school" what children do to one another in a school yard, is very pathetic. And yes I have some family stuck in and lost friends. But who needs friends like them, they are not true friends.

1985 and baptism...I wish I had read this before today
by enoughisenough ini am posting a link as to being legally bound to jw rules at time of baptism.
i only did a quick skim, but what i gathered is interesting, and what it says about 1985 may be of use to some hoping to just fade and not be bothered.
in 1985, the questions were changed at baptism for legal purposes so they could have causation to defend themselves should you decide to sue for whatever reason.

This spoils my fun. I can't yell out "Impostore" when they set their carts up in the town square.

Did becoming a JW influence you to give up something you enjoyed ?
by smiddy3 inwhen i was a teenager a younger fellow workmate was involved in the sport of judo.i got interested and went along to a number of sessions and took to it like a sponge to water ,and as a sport i was happy participating in.. not that much longer another workmate was getting re-activated in the religion of jw`s.
which i had never heard o before and then got interested in that .. conflict : was judo a sport that was compatible with j.w beliefs?
sadly i decided it was not and stopped any further involvement.. to this day i resent that decision i made back then .and i`m 82 years old now.. it was a sport i was comfortable doing and i enjoyed it.and i gave it up because of the religion .who knows what i may have achieved had i continued with it.

Being raised a Jw was not enjoyable. It was restricted and prevented any growth. Watchtower hinders personal development and higher learning. They want a bunch of dumb people who can't think for themselves. I refuse not to be placed in their pathetic state.

As many here would testify. You would have to be very stupid or mentally unconscious to allow the abuse that Watchtower puts you through as a Jw. My family and I have experienced enough of it.

Knocking on schoolmates doors
by BettyHumpter ini left the jw's shortly after i graduated high school.
but when i was still at home i'd get dragged into door to door every saturday morning without fail unless it was pissing rain.
i can remember always being anxious to know what territory my group was assigned.

Running in to schoolmates was always a challenge. I started to work in field circus with my brother who shared my Idea of not talking to anyone about Jw crap and getting rid of most the Watchtower and Awake in the public trash without getting seen. Yes we Pioneered and placed record Watchtower/Awake records. But actually talking to anyone is a different story. We would go to a door and not even knock or ring. And if someone would answer we would talk them out of it or just say we are Jw's end of conversation.

"how big is your bouquet of truth?".

Watchtower has a way of dressing up bullshit so it doesn't smell so bad! But it still is Bullshit.

WHEN is the Kingdom of God coming?
by Fisherman inwhen is the kingdom of god coming?.
on being asked by the pharisees when the kingdom of god was coming, he answered them: “the kingdom of god is not coming with paratherisis; 21 nor will people say, ‘see here!’ or, ‘there!’ for look!
the kingdom of god is in your midst.” —lu 17:20,21. .

Dumb 'experiences' you were told as a JW
by BettyHumpter inthis one stands out in my mind.
it was reported that 'a brother', unnamed of course, was out in field service and was set upon by a pack of vicious dogs.
he made it back to the car and was injured quite badly with his arms, hands and leg bleeding heavily.

I have First hand experience where a Pioneer sister over exaggerated the story of how her beat up run down car was repaired at my brother's shop. My brother was in the audience at the same convention when this sister was telling her bullshit. My brother text me ,we could not believe the story. It was not how it went with us and she didn't pay her bill.
