  will they bring up how the child confronts the accused?

  I am sick of that Joseph story---- shagging the bosses wife has always been a bad idea

  There were children baptized all through the 20's on, so the 18 isn't true. Not saying it shouldn't be, it even should be 21 or 30

  Didn't mention shunning. Did say you could still give money; that probably ly holds true with wt too

  Anyone drop out of high school or not focus on grades becuase the end was near

  i dropped out with 3 months left to go of the 12th grade.

  my uncle offed me a job and the end was only a few years away.

  my mother even though she was dyed in the wool at the time said she would only go along with it if i took a correspondence course out of american correspondence school out of chicago.

  Didn't drop out but didn't put effort into college bound either. Ended up in a deadbeat job, later managed to find a skill I excelled at and did ok if not super

  I will put some blame on guidance counselors as they think everyone has money and want an office job. I went into trades. I did not have money or way to pioneer even if I wanted to

  It did cost me loss of a possible wife as I couldn't support even myself. I did very well a few years later with a different girl and in retrospect am probably better off with second serious girl friend

  Political leaning since leaving the Org.

  by Olig in

  1. social
  2. current

  as you are completely barred from talking or being involved in politics while in the org, since leaving has anyone started any political campaigning or activism?

  also what way would you lean?

  left?

  Secret Republican leanings (pimo) independent and should actually be dem if they would quit pulling left

  One of the few things wt got right is not trusting nobles scripture. I know they have their own nobles they can't recognize

  Usually it takes until around age 15 or so. Puberty and discovering sex drive is number 1, and unhappily drugs or booze. They will indeed be shunned, given no support for maturing.

  In spite of being bible based(sarcasm)the local boe may encourage kicking them into street or pawning them off on non jw relatives.

  I have known a lot. A few smart alec snots make it all the way to becoming superfine bigwigs pushing their own way without getting caught

  No longer Hidden

  by HiddenPimo in

  2. experiences

  i wrote a letter some time ago and to my surprise and despite the elders manual saying that a letter is sufficient for establishing 'wrongdoing' they would not announce me as no longer a jw until i met with 2 elders to verbally acknowledge that the letter was written by me.. .

  well yesterday i met with them and the meeting lasted 2 minutes.

  "did you write the letter?

  Technically the letter could have been sent by someone as a revenge or trick with your name. They did get the 2 witnesses now
