How fanatic were you as a dub?
by JH inwhen you look back to your jw days, what actions did you do, that you would consider fanatic today?.
i remember being on my night shift (midnight to eight) and went in the field service at 9am.
i got home from work, washed changed cloths and went straight to the field service meeting, and spent all morning in the service up to noon.

lessons in love from the faithful and discreet
by galaxy7 ingod certainly realizes that carrying out his righteous laws about cutting off wrongdoers often involves and affects relatives.
as mentioned above, when an israelite wrongdoer was executed, no more family association was possible.
in fact, if a son was a drunkard and a glutton, his parents were to bring him before the judges, and if he was unrepentant, the parents were to share in the just executing of him, 'to clear away what is bad from the midst of israel.

Would You Stick Up For A Friend If They Were Being Dealt With Unjustly?
by minimus ini knew many people in the congregation that were dealt with terribly.
but most times, people were afraid to talk to the elders or were afraid they might get shunned by the more prominent ones in the congregation.
so they closed their eyes to their own friends being treated poorly and carried on as if nothing really was happening.

thoughts...
by dustin_adam inplease note!
this is more of a philosophical question, and i am posting it merely to get feedback on what i like to term doctrinal circular logic (ie.
the bible is true because the bible says it true) i have tried to remove my own conclusions that i made from this, so if they shine through somewhere, i apologize.

What do you miss most about the person you wanted to be?
by dh inthough my posts might not reflect it, i find life pretty hard and spend most of my time battling things in my head, regardless of what else i'm doing, thinking too much junk, always trying to figure things out and always ill at ease, i often remember being a kid, looking forward to a future, with goals and things i wanted to do, now i'm an adult and for the life in me i see nothing worth looking forward to.
i miss the feeling, when anything is possible, when i'd pine for a thing, or just smile at what i knew i was going to be when i grew up, or what i'd do, or when i'd look in the mirror and see a familiar face.
somehow and somewhere down the road, between becoming a child and a man, i seem to have got stuck.

Holidays have no meaning whatsoever - Perhaps because of JW upbringing?!
by Doubtfully Yours ini find myself going through the motions whenever holiday time rolls around, you know, just going with the crowd, etc., but in my heart of hearts holidays mean nothing to me; so i don't ever feel like decorating or doing anything personally that is holiday-related.
am i the only one who feels this way?
could it be a result of my jw upbringing?

Who is running the Watchtower Society?
by richard in.
since the watchtower society has been reorganized and split up in all these (sub)corporations, i wonder where the real power is located.
my guess would be the wtbts of pennsylvania, inc. other ideas?
