I could never have forgiven myself if I had chosen to abort any of my children. I don't believe in judging others or telling them how to handle their particular situations, however.

I believe full disclosure of the procedure be given. I also believe there should be a required waiting period such as 24-48 hours before the actual procedure.

What Type Of Jehovah's Witness Were You, REALLY???

most jws seem to be "devout" in that they go to 5 meetings and out in field service.

yet, many also lived double lives.

were you a true-blue jw or were you a faker?

I know it seems odd to many JWs but I tried to think of how Jesus would have acted in every situation. For example, I found it nearly impossible to shun anyone! I would whisper hellos, smile or wink.

This didn't always go well with the Congregation and got me into big trouble with the elders on a few occasions.

Do you trust JW's?

i guess i'm asking in more of a business aspect?

or in any kind of dealings with them.....for example, because of their morals honesty is "supposed" to be practiced.

would you hire one because of this?

Personally, I would be uncomfortable with anybody who deliberately uses Religion to get something of a material nature, including a job.

For example, I know a guy who advertises to buy antiques and collectibles from Old People. Whenever he visits someone in their homes to look at stuff, he always begins with a Prayer. He's not one bit religious!

019) If you have costume parties for the "young ones" within a month of Halloween, and, if you wrap presents in brown paper to give each other on "Family Gift Day", you are not only a JW, but a Worldly Wannabe and aren't fooling anybody. I always wondered what gave them the impression I was "weak"

How has your marriage been affected by leaving the WTS?

it's been exactly 2 years since i stopped attending jw meetings and it's taken a toll on my marriage.

i expected as much but i guess you can never really prepare for the pain you have to go through when one mate no longer believes in the same things they once did.

i think my wife has honestly tried hard (as have i) to make the relationship work but i think we're both realizing that there are some really large issues before us that will never be resolved.
