If You Could.................
by minimus ingive an answer at the meeting, what would you really like to be able to say?.......if you could've said to a householder what you really thought, what would it be?
?......if you could've told that elder what you were really thinking, what words would have come out of your mouth?................you get the idea.

I finally went to CHURCH----and didn't feel guilty!
by findingme ini've was df'd over 6 years ago after spending all of my life a jw.
i remember thinking i could never step foot in a church out of guilt or fear.
however, i am feeling a loss of some kind of christian fellowship....i think i read a few other posts regarding this need for some of you.. i knew i would not go back to a kh, either.

.when were the 'seeds of doubt" (intelligence) starting to grow ?
by MelbaToast ini remember being in third grade.... did a report of dinosaurs, mom wanted me to bring out the evolution book, it was brand new at the time...but i researched the report and got an a!
i got really interested in science at that point, but when i asked about how all those dinosaurs died, my mom told me they died in the flood and quoted scriptures....blah blah blah.
the seeds of doubt were planted, thank god.

If you had to change one thing you did while being a JW, what would it be?
by MelbaToast in.
i have seen so many stories here that invoke guilt and shame on innocents, what one important momyumental thing would you have changed if you had it to do over?.
mine would be not getting baptized.

Convention time this weekend
by Doubtfully Yours inspent a bunch of money getting the car ready for the trip, buying silly clothes to avoid the looks i'd get if we show up with the same old kh outfits; plus the money spent in hotel stay and the food consumed at lunch and dinner out the 4 days.
it's an awful expense when you factor in the time taken off from work for this event too.. the outcome of all this effort?
just the same old talks and warnings i hear day in and day out at the kingdom hall.. i'll try to make the best of it, but i'm sure to be bored out of my mind most of the time.
