congregational cliques
by chuckyy init was my experience during my 13 yrs as a jw that congregations usually had a social clique.
in other words, there would be a group of people in a congregation that would only associate (and sometimes only go out on field service too) with people within that social clique.
if you were in the clique, fine.

My Story
by DocHayes inactually i posted my story here one time before... but under a different screen name.
since then i have forgotten my former screen name, and password.
the limits of my laziness meant that i would rather create another screen name, and tell my sad, pathetic and uninteresting, story over again.

which is worse.....?
by undercover infrom time to time some of you post letters/emails, etc that you receive from family/friends urging you to come back to the "truth", jehovah, whatever.
even though the intentions of the sender is misguided, it is apparent that they must have some affection or feeling for you to bother to send the letter.
others get no letters, no calls, no inquiries.
