  When you were a JW, did anyone ask you a question that caused you to doubt?

  no dotrinal question could shake me, but it was a personal one, out in service that started my initial doubts.

  a man asked me: 'are you really happy?

  ' i couldn't say, 'no, i'm miserable' but i thought it was a powerful question, anyone else asked something that really shook them?

  i'm writing a book (i know, it sounds so cliche) but i really am about the shunning experiences of people in religions and how this affected them and their family relationships.

  2. beliefs

  .

  did you ever date a dub-ya or a nondub in secret while active?

  i did, with a ms who said we had to keep our relationship on the down low 'cause he was being considered for the big e and he didn't want the brothers and the c.o to quesiton his personal life, now that's code for 'i don't want the elders to know i'm making out on non-meeting nights!

  by Victorian sky in

  2. beliefs

  what songs or groups were you forbidden to listen to as a jw?

  were any specifically mentioned from the platform or were you counseled not to listen to a certain song?

  for me it was the entire def leopard hysteria album - bad heavy metal told it was demonic, i listened to it in secret, silk's "freak me" - a virgin listening to a song about hot sex?
