i have spoken with a number of you already about my journey this winter, but i thought i'd share the story with all of you before i leave this thursday.

this fall i was asked by one of the professors at my school to go with her on a mission to guatemala.

her proposal sounded very interesting, but i didn't think i would be able to go because of my family's financial situation (my widowed mother has been paying my tuition and my brother's tuition while we both attend private institutions).

when the elders or other "mature ones" tried to assist you, they would ask questions like, "what's wrong?

why weren't you at the meeting?

or service?.......what good excuses did you give, when asked these types of questions?

If I missed a lot meetings I would tell that my wordly parents were starting to give me a hard time about being "balanced"

One reason I know it's not the truth.

i can remember how the wt always claimed that the bible could be trusted as gods word because the bible writers were so honest and candid about their own mistakes and did not try to hide them.

can the same be said of the governing body of jehovah's witneses?

if i were to join the ymca for no other reason to have access to the pool, i would be disfellowshiped.

The subject should read One MORE reason Why I know its not the truth.

all you 'loyal' lurkers take careful note of what appeared in the watchtower recently:.

hard, cold proof that 'murmuring', 'rebellion' - and so-called 'apostacy' can force.

moral reform on the watchtower society!.

You story deserves its own thread. Im sorry to hear what happened to you.

i was wondering how many others are on this board that enjoy swing dancing and the music?

i have been doing it myself for over 8 years now and love it.

i mostly do east coast and lindy.

I used to swing dance all the time when I was a young jdub. On the first sunday eve of every month there would be about 300 jdubs at Irving Plaza in NYC to ball room dance. There was actually an article in the daily news about this place- saying how JW's frequent it and that they are the swing kids of this era- It wasnt long before we werent allow to go anymore
