How did you view your congregation?
by haujobbz in.
when i was in my congregation i found it to be a very selfish self spirited congregation,i also found many witnesses to be very easily offended and hyper sensitive oh and i forgot the gossip ohh the gossip was horrendous, this hyper sensitivity really got on my nerves because it was starting to rub off on me and i started to get paranoid and easily offended and i was never like that b4.. and what pi@@ed me off was the fact how brothers on the stage said how loving our congregation was and what a good reputation it was known to have.. but now i have left and im back to my down to earth happy personality.

What strikes me most about my old congo now is that nearly everybody was very poor. There were a coupla teachers, but no other degreed professionals, and they even seemed to have financial problems.
Almost everybody was nice though!

What this board has done...
by Dawn inwhat this board has done..............for me.. i've only dropped in intermittently over the past month or so - and thought maybe now would be an appropriate time to point out some of the things i have gleaned from being here over the past year.. for several years after being df'd i still had that nagging thought - "what if it is the truth...what if i just have a bad heart...what if my kids die at armageddon because of me, what if, what if...".
i was still in chains.
then i came here and found:.

You said it Dawn!
I have not set foot in a Kingdom Hall in over 10 years and I (semi) regularly attend church. But I have just in the last coupla years been able to shake the "What if they're right" thoughts. This board has only confirmed my decision to not go back, and makes me want my mom out, too.

WERE YOU TREATED POORLY IN THE CONGREGATION?
by minimus inwhen you were associated in the congregation, were you treated in a way that made you feel like you were a 2nd class citizen?
how were you regarded?
were you the brunt of criticism or were you pretty much well-liked?

We were always told that the word "honeymoon" was the problem....pagan something or other. But the couple in question could go away if they called it "their Wedding Trip."
Weird, huh?

Oooooh-weee, you sure know how to sweet talk a girl.
No problem about the attention (as I put on sunglasses, blonde wig, and trenchcoat). I have nothing to hide!
Everybody else,
Thanks for the big welcome

Hi All
Thought I'd arrive fashionably late for the party! Thanks (I think) Dave for the "cordial" welcome. My story is as follows:
I was born the daughter of sharecroppers...oh, wait a minute, that's from the book I just finished. My mother joined the dubs when I was about six years old ('76-'77). I quit going when i turned 15 or 16...the old memory is not what it used to be. Basically, I told my mom that I didn't like being a jw and I was old enough and mature enough to make that decision. After two weeks of the silent treatment, she agreed and here I am! (I may start a thread later and bore you with all the details then)
I have been lurking since Dateline and have come to know and love some of you. I am especially fond of that Farkel person's witty retorts and Gopher has been really nice. Since I am allergic to pet dander and dust mites, I will not reply to Fredhall, YouKnow, comforter, and Yadirf--is he still here?
Well, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
