I think I turned into one all those years of sitting thru meetings and talks and started to think what the hell as everyone else was bobbing their heads in agreement without even thinking about what is said. I developed a good BS meter.

Looking Back Were There Any “Apostates” In Your Congregation?
by minimus ini remember knowing some jws that expressed their own personal viewpoints regarding what a scripture meant that was at odds with society teachings.
in the 60 and 70’s, that was pretty much tolerated until the great purge in 1979 and 1980. as a matter of fact, it wasn’t unusual for witnesses to get together and discuss personal questions and viewpoints they might have.
it wasn’t unusual to send letters to the society asking what was considered the right or wrong view.

Pioneers, Elder's Wives most self righteous. Etc.
by Overrated inas a jw did you have a pioneer sister/elder's wife who was the biggest busybody, self righteous, arrogant pus in the circuit?
who would look down on others and treat people like crap.. without giving to much away, i experienced one that knew everyone in circuit.
and if she or her husband saw or heard something they didn't like it was " you know what the bible says" regardless if it was in there or not.

Be Truthful and tell him you're sorry and you're duped. This is what my Psychiatrist tells me, I have been duped, heal, recover the best you can, and move on.

I had an elder's wife spying on me when I was in school. I guess Gee-hober don't like people smoking a little weed.. my question(s) when they where my age did they smoke some weed? And what harm did it caused? God created weed to be smoked and enjoyed did he not? The bible writers where on some sort of stuff when they wrote the bible, don't you think?

I was looked down upon by a pioneer / elder's wife who was a friend of the family for pursuing a career instead of pioneering. I did pioneer for a short time but found the whole experience to be a waste of time. I started to question as to why we have to work for our salvation when Jesus Death was a gift to all mankind? As you can see where that all went.
