Why are JW illustrations so bad?
by Qcmbr inare all jw illustrations done by the same person?
i have always been somewhat surprised at the quality of them - i have seen children's books with more compelling and moving pictures (the enormous turnip brings tears to my eyes) - i know i'm being critical but its almost bedtime and i can't help it hehe.

What's With the "Tattle Tale" Mentality?
by beebee inadmittedly i'm an outsider but i do not get why witnesses feel so darn compelled to "tattle" on each other?.
i do remember my friend telling me (as justification for the shunning) that when a witness is baptised, they understand that they are accepted into a special society that requires a commitment to the "rules.
" she went on to say that those that don't follow the rules are well aware of the consequences.

Funny FS experiences
by Effervescent ini was just watching an old rerun of "the nanny" where frans mom talks about trying to put spice into her marriage by meeting her husband at the door naked.
fran makes a face and her mother says "meanwhile you'll never see jehovah's witnesses in the building again".
i remember hearing funny stories about people coming to the door naked etc, but nothing quite that interesting happened to me.

Hate leaving my family behind.
by Big Dog inafter lurking about for a while i finally decided to join the board.
i have never done anything like this and was amazed at how stressful it was to sign up and press the return key to join up and actually post something.
just a quick bio: 41 year old lawyer who was raised a jw but had the good sense to never get baptized.

Understanding why people leave
by Qcmbr inhi all, just thought i'd introduce myself before i make any other posts - i'm lds through and through 'nuff said.
why am i here, well i've been reading the posts here for over a year and i initially enjoyed them in a sneaky rival faction way (i.e.
one in the eye for jw's yehaw..)but of late i've been redaing these posts and using them to critique my own approach to my faith.

What did you do during school assemblies?
by Qcmbr inin my school the two jw kids sat out of assemblies and i always wondered what they got up during that time.
i always wanted to have the courage to say i had religious objections to assemblies but to be honest i just hated siting cross legged on the wooden floor for ages.
anyone experience sitting out assemblies (or whatever your school equivelant is) and what did you do?
