  Interview with Dagney

  by Dagney in

  2. experiences

  tell us a little about yourself and your family.. i was born and raised in southern california, with a brief stint with parents as need-greaters in central america.

  my parents accepted a study in the d2d work, i believe my father was interested in the revolutionary aspect of the religion, and my mom said she wanted to learn the bible.

  they were baptized in 1937 i think, and attended the one and only los angeles kh at the time.

  i wasn't so sure how to add title in this topic.

  i went back to the borg, for family reasons and the concept was after a year or so to fade out.

  i m into the fade out process now.

  Does any one know, how to "change" congregation and loose the publisher files during the relocation?
  

  Start attending meetings in the new congregation. It's that simple. I have more to say but I'm afraid that might fall into the "unnecessary comments" category.

  Never ceases to amaze me the way brainwashed people work, and how they use their Jehovah nonsense to their advantage.

  Thanks for sharing.

  by JeffT in

  2. friends

  i converted at age 22, and left 15 years later (1988) so i don't really know what its like to be in high school as a jw.

  for those of you who do know: do teenage jw's hang out with each other?

  worldly kids?

  I don't think that some JW things have changed. In school, today kids have to worry about not getting shot, so I imagine that their JW background is a secondary issue now.
