  you may be a jw ........if you spent last saturday traped in a car with at least 4 other people you may be a jw.. if you have sat through a sheparding call where you were told you are unworthy you may be a jw.. if you have alienated your worldly relatives with your preaching you may be a jw.. if you have ticked some one of buy knocking on their door on one of their religous holidays you may be a jw.. if you think the governing body is goods direct channel you may be a jw.. if you have no clue when this system is going to end you may be a jw.. .

  it's true.

  last night, a kid got marked for having worldy friends.

  the usual no friendship with the world texts made its way in.

  Wish I didnt know....Part 2 My Story

  by Wishididntknow in

  2. experiences

  after a terrible break up and being away from the congregation for about 10yrs i started to think about coming back.

  i couldnt even watch the news anymore because of the termendous anxiety it would cause.

  i felt that there was a target on my back and the big a would surely come before i could get my act together.

  Another day, another apostate. Here's my story.

  by I Want to Believe in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  been lurking for a bit, and feel safe enough now to tell my story (condensed).. i'm a third-generation born-in, but my parents were inactive for most of my upbringing.

  this means i got the worst of both worlds--no worldly friends (home schooled all but grades 2-3), no witness friends (since we never went to the hall except for memorial), and a generally isolated upbringing in a tiny, tiny town.

  needless to say, my emotional, social, and personal growth were stunted.

  New one

  by freshcrepes in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been lurking on this forum for over a year, and i thought i'd say a quick hello.. .

  i was raised as a jehovah's witness and managed to endure past the encouragement that one receives from age 16 onwards about what is holding me back, and never got baptised.

  i figured that making one of the most important decisions of my life requires a lot more thought than people seemed to be giving it, and shouldn't be based on emotion as is quite common.. .

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zi7az1ahhda&feature=mfu_in_order&list=ul.

  this is a long series.

  im finding more and more that jw's are so illequiped for debate, that they cant even make coherent arguments.
