Breakdancing is from the Devil
by Huxley insome youngsters (i always hated that word...) in our congregation went to a rock concert.
two out of ten of these kids decided to join in the "mosh pit", and try their hand at "crowd surfing", just like on mtv.
well the other eight kids decided to rat them out to the elders for behaving in a worldly manner.. the local needs talk the following week discussed the danger of music in the life of a young christian.

Do you think JW men treat women worst than 'other' men in power?
by BLISSISIGNORANCE ini ask this question because we often hear about jw men (bros., elders, servants, co's etc.
) treating sisters as lower and weaker beings than themselves.. but i wonder if it's not just a male-dominant world problem.
i didn't grow up as a jw so every male i met for 30 years was not a jw.

This is my story...
by Huxley ini've been lurking around this site for a while, and i must say that it has been an enormous emotional aid.
i have been inactive for about 8 months now, and recently turned in a letter of disassociation.
my wife (thankfully) has been inactive for about 3 months or more.

What are the stages of walking away?
by logansrun inwell, it's been a good ten months since i walked away from the jws and it's been quite a journey.
i notice that the initial fears, self-doubt and rage are no longer with me.
when i first left i could hardly look at a wt or awake magazine without getting wave after wave of anxiety and frustration.

Fifteen Years Ago...
by Prisca ini was baptised at a local circuit assembly.
it didn't seem a big deal at the time, as i'd grown up as a jw, and getting baptised was just a rite of passage for jw youths.
fortunately my parents had the attitude that you don't need to get baptised until you're an adult, so as a teenager i didn't have the pressure to get baptised, although i was expected to once i reached my adult years.. the year before my baptism was rather traumatic.

How BIG was YOUR JW book-bag?
by Scully inwhen i was replying to nicolas' question in another thread, i used the following scripture to show why jws are always so tired:"the scribes and the pharisees have seated themselves in the seat of moses.
therefore all the things they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds, for they say but do not perform.
they bind up heavy loads and put them upon the shoulders of men, but they themselves are not willing to budge them with their finger.

JW Practices
by patio34 inmaybe this irked you in the past?
i had a hard time convincing--nay, believing--that we lived in such baaaad times.
jws have the belief that times are bad, so we had the task of convincing the householders of that.
