  I think that if anyone see something like that in that picture it says more about their mind than it does about the picture.

  I understood that "Likes" and "Dislikes" were anonymous. Am a bit disappointed that is not the case.

  
  

  They are anonymous - it would be better if they weren't though. People should have the courage of their convictions and debate a point nstead of snidely clicking dislike.

  Apathy trolley chat

  i was in a different city this weekend so i decided to natter to 2 bored jws on the apathy trolley.i just nattered, nothing thought provoking or anti witness.

  i was waiting for someone so hard time to spare.what struck me was, that no matter how many times i said that i don't believe in god, they spoke to me as if i did.

  they kept asking me how god would feel about stuff.

  Very true Beth S, and yet back in the day when I was a young Jayhubberdub, myself and many JW's could make a "good fist" of defending our beliefs...

  I could never do that - not because I couldn't put a case for it but underneath I struggled because I don't think I believed it myself and felt a bit of a tit for defending it.

  I lied to the elders

  by atacrossroads in

  2. friends

  i stopped attending meetings all together in january 2015. before that my attendance was irregular at best.

  my husband followed suit a few months ago after months of research, agony, and indecision on his part.

  from the very beginning i laid low and did not share with anyone what i found out about the witnesses because i did not want to be df'd.

  Keep your heads down, the pair of you.
  Try to let the emotions subside a little. Be careful your own mother doesn't try and "set you up" with a second witness.

  That.

  Just get on with your life, try not to get involved in any discussions on the matter.

  Hopefully time will smooth over you family's perceived hurt and they will come round.

  But, if they don't that's up to them, try not to worry about the things you can't change.

  Good luck!

  There's nothing like a JW when it comes to self righteousness and judgement.
