Did being a JW teach your children to lie?
by Strawberryfieldsforever inwhen i was young and in school, i would often lie to questions my friends asked me.
things like "what did you get for christmas" or "are you comming to the choir concert tonight" or "why can't you join track" or "why don't you eat our birthday treats".
the list is endless.

Were You Ever Counseled For Your Attitude or Because You Didn't Measure Up?
by minimus inone thing jws do, and especially elders, is counsel people.
everything is all about setting a person straight.
even bible students are conditioned to be counseled and to do the same toward any that ask them questions as to what they believe.

SNOW!!!!!!!!! in North Texas
by arrowstar ini know..i know...y'all are probably sick to death of snow those of you who get real snow.
but, here in north texas, we seldom get "real" snow.
we typically get what they call a "wintery mix" (snow, sleet and freezing rain).

A matter of conscience or more?
by overitforgood inthere are a couple co-workers who are jw?s.
needless to say, i find their actions and their beliefs to be at odds.
this one particular witness knowingly participated in a group lunch sponsored by a religious radio station recently (among other questionable activities in the past).

hello everyone
by itsallgoodnow inmy first post here - - wanted to give my story, too.
raised a jw, stayed in out of fear, painted myself into a corner and currently struggling to get out completely.
i know lots of people would say they don't respect someone who knows they don't want to stay but is staying for other reasons, like family & friends or whatever.
