It didn't matter if you were a badge or not after the meeting. People and Jw's still knew you were a witness because your behavior gave it away.

Did you wear your badge outside the convention, so as to "give a witness?"
by truthseeker inthis year at the dc, we were expressly told to wear our badges at all times, even when going to a restaurant or some place else, so we could "give a witness.".
did any of you hear follow through with this arrangement?
did you have one of those "fantastic" experiences, when someone commented on your badge?.

My great granfather gave me his ouija board. Never got a chance to play with it before my mom burned it outside. My childhood sucked- I never had any fun.

CIRCUIT ASSEMBLY THIS WEEKEND.
by integ inin my area of the world the 2 day circuit assembly will be held this weekend.
i was wondering if anybody has attended this years assembly, or had any insight as to the message being delivered on sunday afternoon titled "don't look back...look to the future" (or something to that effect).
i must speculate and wonder if the message of this enlightening discourse will be to forget all the past mistakes of the society, and concentrate on the paradise earth, and everything that is presented from now on by the society..... "don't grumble about minor adjustments made in god's organization friends, we have to remain steadfast in our support of those taking the lead as they humbly follow jehovah's spirit direction on matters".

You know some people actually want to attend an assembly to validate their reasons for leaving. I had to do just that. Do what you feel.

Remember Dateline??
by Joyzabel ini'm trying to get some comments that active jehovah's witnesses may have heard after dateline aired back on may 28, 2002.
do you remember any comments made about the dateline program either made from the platform at the kingdom hall, or in private conversations with other jw's?
how were the people who where on dateline viewed in your area, especially at the kingdom hall or by other jws?

Most of it was very hush hush. People are afraid to admit the truth. Which is why I am no longer a jw.

personally, the latest trend in my area is school bus driver as well as school bus monitor.

Most in my former cong. were comprised of cleaning people. Many had low wage jobs while in pursuit of the pioneer life. I vowed to never end up in that predicament. I was the minority.

So, what brought you here?
by onacruse inback in the 90s (i think it was '96?
) was the first time i punched in "jehovah's witnesses" on google.
the "generation" change had finally flipped me, and i knew in my heart that i would never again be the "happy little jw" that i'd once been.. well, lemme just say that the "vigor" .

Easy question. Stupidity. At one time you could not tell me that jw's were not superior, or that they were capable of doing wrong. I was lead here in my quest to find the real truth.

A question for former pioneers.
by JV ineverytime you go to an assembly or to a convention or the co pays a visit, there's always a call for people to pioneer.
they always drag out a couple of pioneers on to the stage and "interview" them.
the one question they always ask is if the pioneers have any regrets over pioneering.

I was a regular pioneer for five years. It was very difficult because I attended college full time. Got more flak than I should have for attending school, but that is a story for another day. I will admit that I liked pioneering. At one time I valued that privledge. Now I look at it in agnst. I feel very grateful to have received an education in the process. It's never to late to go back to school!
