What view did you have of apostates when you were a JW?
by bull01lay ini can remember being an attendant at one of the circuit assemblies in nottingham, where a group of pentecostals were picketing out by one of the gates.

An E-mail encounter.....
by AK - Jeff inlike most of us here, i have lost all my so called 'friends' from the organization.
i held out hope that an old friend would at least continue to be friendly over email, but alas no!
we had a series of emails in which his single goal was to guilt me into returning to 'the flock', but each time he refused to even consider what i had to say.

Have you ever wanted to punch a Circuit Overseer or his wife?
by Nellie ini was reading another post about a "dear old circuit overseers wife" and it immediately brought back to mind an experience i had with one that wasn't so dear at all .
.. i "knew" this woman before she went into the circuit work with her husband.
granted, i didn't know her well - but i had moved into her congregation a few weeks before she and her husband left to go into the circuit work.

Family Reunion
by Cori inthis past weekend, i attended my family's annual reunion (scheduled a week before thanksgiving, and they served turkey...hmmm) and became literally sick because they are all jw and talked of nothing else.
i finally realized how sad the normal jw's life is.
they really have nothing else going for them, thats why the thought of leaving is so unbelievable.
