if you were raised a jdub, what was the first thing that was asked...
by in a new york bethel minute infrom your parents when you got home from service?
for me it was, "did you place today?
" pretty much sums up what service is about for most witnesses... i always prefered a good conversation, even at a young age... but the pat on the back always came from making placements... especially if it was a book!.

Hello
by Es inhello to everyone, my name is esther and i am from australia.. i was directed to this website from my ex husband who also was a jw.
i guess in the truth we still are as we have not been df or disocciated ourselves.. i just wanted to say hi.
this is a great website, i had been brought up in the truth and had only decided to leave about 2 years ago, when my marriage was failing,i'm not a person who lives great by other peoples rules, especially when i dont agree with half of them.

Intro from new member
by lespacino1 inthis site was recommended to me by someone on another ex-jw site i began frequenting recently.
anyway, i am an ex-jw who has been disfellowshipped for about 7 years now.
i was raised as a jw from the age of 4, didnt take to it until i was befriended by a pioneer who was an elder's wife, and she began a bible study with me because my mom ddnt have time to have bible studies with all of my siblings and me, there are 10 of us.

Why the warm welcome?
by wanderlustguy ini've caught it...the "welcome bug" and you are all to blame.
when i posted my story on here everyone jumped in and said welcome, and that was probably the most healing thing i've experienced...or at least the first time in forever i felt good about a choice i made.
so i caught myself doing it today, see a newbie saying hello...and then i have to say welcome.then i asked myself...why?

i was a reguler pioneer for about 8 yrs, back when it was 100 hours a month, befor thet i did a couple of yrs as a vacation pioneer, they later changed the name to auxilery pioneer, and during the following 20 yrs i had a few intermitant spells as an auxilery when i had time to.
during my pioneer years i have given talks at circuit assemblies and had assignments at district assemblies .
