  my sister wrote me a letter telling me how she's going to all her meetings.

  i touch on this subject in another post but i felt the need to take it further...back in the day jw's went out in fs but i don't know about today.... i live in a big city....the territory my congregation has is small because there are so many cong.

  here.. our bookstudy only had maybe four blocks at the most to work.

  my ex husband and i would go to the meetings and hear talk about fs and all the wonderful and experiences and the joy oh joy in being out in the ministry.

  What is your favorite Memory?

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i hope this has not been a topic lately.... it was christmas day...and i had went to visit some non-jw relatives i was 15 yrs old...and a group of other kids from the neighborhood had all got together on the block, it was snowing and the snow was so fluffy and pretty, so we all started walking down the street singing x-mas songs (we had sipped some spiked egg nog) everyone exchanged little gifts.

  we went to different houses visiting and eating.

  toward the end of the night we went to my sister's friend house and danced till around 2:00 in the morning..." for the first time in my life i felt free and happy.

  when you were babtized and dedicated did you feel a void?

  by swiftbreeze in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this has always troubled me:.

  i was studying to be babtized although i was raised around the "truth" i still had to have an official study.

  so i was taught that i had to go to jehovah in prayer stating my desire to be dedicated and babtized.
