Public speaking, being a good conversationalist, and being able to recognize a conspiracy,

.....No!....Being continually told your the happiest people on earth dosen`t make it so...OUTLAW

Any positive identified assumes a gigantic leap of faith that these skills would not have been gained elsewhere or were not inherently present in you already. I think that is impossible to know. The only one I buy is that, yes, my ability to detect BS has been honed by my JW experience. But I'd probably have learned that too if I'd been raised by carnival hucksters.

I positively love leeching off people.

This is the kitchen my mother got as a reward for marrying a Witness.

The kitchen went with this house.

Taught me that some people will not change regardless of how much "proof" you give them. Oh, yeah, and it taught me how to leave a cult.

I made some great friends that continue as friends (they're out too) in my present life. I learned to speak in front of crowds. I learned to deal with rejection, having many doors slammed in my face as a kid. I also learned to deal with being "different" than others, a status that I continue to enjoy. It's not all bad . . .

I'll have to be honest and say yes. (even thought the cons out way the pros 50 to 1 but yes)

I gave my first number 2 talk (and no, it wasn't number 2, it was actually pretty good-lol) when I was 5 years old so I do see now how it helped me be a better reader. Reading the Bible is a harsh reading lesson with all the big words.

And we used to get "free" food at the convention but that went away. (my parents made the donations not me, I was a kid) I can attribute many a chicken sandwich and frozen orange juice to the org. (which by the way was pure gold in that heat!)
