Describe Yourself Without Being Revealing.
by Golf inas i told kl, i'm not sabotaging her thread, mine has a twist, for example, my wife 'descibes' me best by always reminding that i'm not 'normal.
' this means i do things differently than the ordinary person as i'm into many activities.
many of these activities involve people.

The sort of person that gets to be an Elder?????
by chuckyy in.
do you think that the better the job that you have or the higher the social standing you have, makes it more likely that you will be an elder in comparison to those that are less fortunate???
quite a few elders in my old kh even had their own private car plates.. chukky

Help Finding a Book
by rwagoner ini am trying to find a copy of the old pink "paradise book".
i remember having one as a kid growing up and seeing some of the pictures in it.
i can't help but think that some of those images started the fear and guilt in me as a child and would like to show my wife (a non jw) so she might better understand how i could have stayed in as long as i did.. she hears me talk now and can't imagine how i could have believed such a pile of bunk or how my parents still can't see how totally crazy some of the "truth" sounds.

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.

This kinda sucks
by Puternut ini've been here on maui for about 7 months now, to start life over after my ordeal on the mainland with the dubbies.
and for the most part it's been good...... until last month when my employer announced bankruptcy.
so i am out of work for now, but and i am starting my own business again.

Has being a JW...
by the_classicist in... ruined certain words for you?
words like "the truth," "watch tower," "jehovah.
" each time i hear words like these get a strange mental reaction.
