Whats up with this person and that person annoucing they are leaving the board? I see alot of those statements more frequently here. Is that supposed to be an attention getter? Why not make your exit and just move on?

I never really understood why some jws felt like they needed to dress to the nines for the memorial. I remember sisters going all out wearing evening like dresses with sequins and suits with huge church looking hats. Kinda ridculous now. Since when is the memorial a big social event? I personally am not into that anymore. If I do go I guess I will have to drag out my old kingdom hall clothes. But then again maybe I won't go at all.

What is the worst thing about leaving?
by sleepy in.
everyone probably has a slightly different experience when leaving the witnesses.the worst aspect about this for me is the realisation that my enteire life has been lived and directed by a false premiss, and the effect past decisions now have on my life.. it can make me feel sick in the stomach on occation.. also the idea that friends and family think i have tuned bad or evil to have left jehovah is qute disturbing at times.

It destroyed my relationship with my mother who is my best friend. Things between us will probably never be the same. We are slowly trying to get things back on track. She honestly believes that one day Jehovah will open my eyes and show me I need to come back to the org. NOT!

Why not just be upfront with your parents. Sooner or Later they will find out about your inactivity. Stand up for yourself even if your standing alone!

They are studying the new book Isaiah's Prophecy A light for all mankind. How do I know this?(been out of the org for 4 years) My mother is an active witness and comes to my house on the regular. Not sure of the chaps. If you are really dying to know get back to me I am sure I can find them out.

I really did not appreciate the elder who told me which people could not participate in my own wedding. Last time I remembered it was my wedding right? By the way I wised up and called the whole engagement and wedding thing off. He was a wus without a spine. What was I thinking? It scares me to think what my life what have been like now if I had married him.

Looking Back, What's The Stupidest Thing You Believed In As A Witness?
by minimus infor me, it's the "faithful and discreet slave class".
-

ikhandi
lets see I never could totally be that living forever was not just a dream. That I should feel guilty and not as spritual because I missed a meeting or two. Do jws ever get a break from all of that? I was made to believe that non jws were worldly people. What a bunch of crap. Where are my witness friends now? I have none, they all shun me. The only people in my life now who support me, are those so called worldly people that I was warned to stay away from.

JW's Should Not Wear Too Much Makeup Or Baggy Clothing Per New KM
by minimus inif you weren't quite sure how jehovah god expects you to dress, the april 2003 km helps us to see his viewpoint.
"well-arranged dress shows reverence for god" is the article that assists us to know god's feelings on these matters.
i will give you some quotes from the article: "soon we will have the privilege of being jehovah's guests at the 2003 ' give god glory' disctrict convention.

These experiences are hilarious. I recall the conventions being a really big fashion show with the sisters. It was all about outdoing the next sister. One could be frowned upon for wearing the same clothes they wore weekly to the meetings. For me I could not just wear what I had in my closet. The convention meant buying three or four new outfits for the occasion and ensuring I had my hair and nails done the day before leaving. Ah I am so glad I am done with all of that.
