    How many times did anyone invite a lowly sister with no husband or one whose husband was not a JW to a gathering except to help serve the others at weddings etc? And the children of those with unblieving mates - wow! NEVER!

    I have to agree with you here Gill...I have found this to be true also....as a child from a one parent family you never did get to socialise as much as the others...and whilst I am lucky to have the ability to converse and socialise it couldve gone the complete other way couldnt it?....

    The congs can't help it if they are blind sheep.

    Yes, they can. The congregations are made up of PEOPLE with free will to choose what they will do. If we can escape, so can they. If we can stand up and say out loud, "hey, this is WRONG," so can they. For lots of different reasons, the majority CHOOSE to be sheep.

    My mom was a JW and my Dad was Jewish, so I understand the awkwardness of not being a "full-blooded" JW.

    I have a word for Auld Soul...don't let all this fool you. There is no "normal" life. The Witness's developed their own community, and some of it is very convoluted, but the world is not normal! That is a fantasy from television.

    When I finally got free from the JW's it took me years to shake some of the stuff. Like feeling guilty I was not out Saturday morning going door to door. Actually shaking the teaching that if you leave the Organization you will be in the dark, or fall back into worldliness...I have grown into a more mature Christian now, (don't belong to a denomination) I've built on some of the things I learned as a JW (yes, I did learn some stuff) but life as a follower of the Almighty is never "normal."

    Thanks for the tip, Sheepish. I had it in quotes because the CCoJW teaches that those who leave, leave for a normal life.

    I don't know who this Norm fella is, but judging by the statistics I have seen, I don't think we'd get along so well.

    Sorry,re-reading my post, didn't mean to sound so condescending or patronizing or anything. You sound like you know what's up.
