  How did you get out of field service?

  by return visitor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had a boat that i always wanted to name "return visits" that way whenever i was asked why i wasn't in field service on saturday i could respond, "i went out on return visits" and nobody would be the wiser.

  just wondering, did anyone else come up with a good way to dodge that question?.

  i was df bout a year back and have since been enlightened by a life long friend.

  i am leaning toward returning anyway but mostly for familyand friends.

  i recognize the hypocrisy of this move but also don't feel that i should be subject to there authority and in my current state i am.

  so at long last i've converted my childhood friend from being an apologist to being a near apostate.

  lemme tell you how that happened.

  this guy and i debate almost daily the virtues of being one of "jehovah's people.

  Lifetime raised JW's did you find your parents sick with obsession?

  by restrangled in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  what has come back to me and what i have realized through this website is that my mother was probably mentally very sick with this religion for most of her life.. it was a sickening obsession to obey, tattle, feel extreme guilt, turn in family members, and never, ever measure up no matter what she did.

  endless months of pioneering, meeting attendance and studying for meetings were not enough .....ever....she is now 73 years old and still trying to pioneer in the exhausting heat of florida.

  in her full time pioneering days she came down with breast cancer.

  my little family of xjws are thinking of moving to texas, kind of looking at the area north of houston.

  there seem to be plenty of apostates from texas on this forum.

  is there anything i should know that is good or bad about that area?

  What musical groups or songs were bad according to JWs?

  by Victorian sky in

  2. beliefs

  what songs or groups were you forbidden to listen to as a jw?

  were any specifically mentioned from the platform or were you counseled not to listen to a certain song?

  for me it was the entire def leopard hysteria album - bad heavy metal told it was demonic, i listened to it in secret, silk's "freak me" - a virgin listening to a song about hot sex?

  Stupidest thing a JW ever told you

  by Nosferatu in

  2. friends

  what is the stupidest thing a jw ever told you?

  we all know that they say a lot of stupid things, but what really topped the cake?.

  for me, it was an elder telling me i was progressing really well when my meeting attendance was down and my field service hours were slipping.

  it's been a year since i've done this so i thought i'd do it again.

  perhaps it will be a nice break from all of the ranting going on (myself included).. http://www.geocities.com/lavenderwater37/birthdaytrees.htm.

  by the way, i'm a weeping willow.
