What little things used to excite you as a JW?
by doodle-v ini would get excited when i was younger and would study the watchtower and see that this weeks study only had 19 paragraphs.
(made the study seem shorter,lol).
when a meeting would get canceled because of snow (which was rare) and i would get to stay home and watch a cheers or the cosby show.

How do you interact with your worldly relatives?
by pratt1 in.
now that i am no longer a jw, i can associate, and celebrate holidays and other family traditions with my non-jw relatives.
however i am sometimes bitter because i missed so many experiences as a child with my relatives that they seem almost like strangers rather than relatives.. does anyone else feel this way, and how have you bridged the gap?

Renewal of Wedding Vows - What is the JW position?
by pratt1 inalthough i am inactive, my mother is a pioneer and extremely loyal to her faith.
next year she and my father will celebrate 45 years together, and since they only had a small civil wedding, i though it would be nice to give them an anniversary party including renewal of their wedding vows.
i mentioned this to my wife and she thought that she was told that jw's do not believe in this practice.

Kingdom Melodies - What's the deal?
by pratt1 insince i was an active witness for so many years, i only recently discovered many beautiful gospel and spiritual songs.
can anyone tell me why jw's are so against singing any other songs than kingdom melodies.. .
most are just, well in a word bad.. i actually remeber when all of our songs were played on a piano by a tone deaf elders bethelite's wife.
