ok, i was never baptized, raised jw from one yr old till 15 yr old, never really believed, joined u.s. navy at 20 yr old.

i used to think(still do) how much the jw organization was like the military!

to advance, you have to hit certain marks, ( for the military you need high marks in physical fitness) (( could that be field service for jw's?

Are you A comments/like junkie?
by olongapo joe in
1. jw
2. experiences
i admit that i am, i started a thread on my youthful drinking, that went absolutely nowhere.

so here i am looking for some love.

i have spent hours on this site reading others experiences (real or imagined), i question some of john aguilars( i did not comment on johns post, just mentally thought it sounded a little far fetched) and notice when others question how he is always in the right place at the right time, he seems to stop commenting.

Should I stay or should I go?

1. jw
2. experiences
hello all, i love reading all of your experiences, and trials and tribulations ( isn't that very jw'ish)?

while most of my life experiences have almost nothing to do with jw's, as i was never baptized and never believed( in the bible) past the 5th grade, it makes me feel good to contribute a post or two here, i tend to go off on subjects that are probably not very jermaine to the main subject of this site.

i do really enjoy all of your comments and the time and effort simon and the other moderators spend to make this a truly inspiring site.

Do todays Jw's care at all about Russell and the pyramid?
by olongapo joe in
1. jw
2. experiences
just wondering, as i will be visiting active jw family in ohio in a few weeks, do you think it will be worthwhile dropping it into a conversation, about the wtbts pyramid near his grave, or try some other topic to try and wake them up.

i was never baptized and don't really care if they get upset or not, but it is only a day trip from ohio to pittsburgh, and thought it would be fun if they denied it, and then drove their to see it for ourselves.

how do most of you now feel about the military?
by sowhatnow in
1. social
2. family
was not sure where to post this, but i was curious, how do some of you now feel about the military?

would any of you let your children enlist, or would you yourselves join any military field?

how do you feel about the idea of women in the military?

Booze boy, the middle years.
by olongapo joe in
1. jw
2. experiences
in some of my earlier post, i mention how prevalent booze was (and still is in my life).

now, the only thing this has to do with jw's, is, that, at the time, both my parents were (still are active jw's).

a quick rehash, at one yr. old, my parents become jw's.
