How/when did you become a jehovas witness?
by Lewis1998 inso i've been a protestant for most of my life, it's how i was raised, but recently i started questioning my faith more and more and now i feel like my beliefs resemble that of a jehovas witness rather than a protestant.
i don't know any jehovas witnesses, so i was just wondering how a lot of you found the religion and adapted to it?.

Parents were exposed in the late 50's and adopted many customs, no birthdays, blood, holidays etc. Was raised "around" the religion. Die hard aunt kept pushing. I followed thru on my own and baptized at 16. The rest of my siblings fell like dominoes. YEARS later my mom was baptized in the 90's. Dad never fell for it fully. I guess it was my fault we got sucked in.

14 Years in full-time service
by fulano inmy experience and sorry for layout and grammar.
i just don't have that much time nowadays.. my mother was always proud, and used to mention to a lot of people, that i already was in field-service when i was seven weeks old.
well, i'm a february child, so you understand how cold it was in my pram.

This whole story could be summarized by simply saying, I had a huge tumor for years that I thought was beautiful until the doctor told me it was killing me. I had it surgically removed. Problem solved. I am glad you finally cut the cult out of your life.

It's ironic that all the things that most posters on this thread applaud America for, are the very things that are being abused and protested against by the sincerest of players in football. Even the reviling of the President, for their lawfully given right to protest is in honor of those who fought and died to protect such action. Nope, protest is not meant to be popular. They have succeeded and Comrade Trump has been called out on his strongman tactics. Down with the Orange person in the White House. Can't wait to hear either congress or the voters quote him, "You're Fired!"

How Are Ex Elders Treated In The Congregation?
by minimus inare they pretty much left alone?
are they respected for their having been elders at one time?
are they treated like crap?.

When they announced I had resigned, "Stepped down" I had a brother ask if he could still talk to me. Such is the power of the platform and announcements. I said, "Of course!"
People were concerned and I think the elders thought it set a bad example for others "reaching out". As if I gave them permission to quit when it became too much for them. Yep, pretty much.

Why the NFL Protest Is a Massive and Insulting Failure
by freemindfade ini think everyone has the freedom to protest, they also have freedom of speech, these are two fundamental things that make america amazing.
but thinking rationally about what is going on with the nfl, therefore, i have an unfavorable opinion of the league, and the players, not their right to free speech, but their motive and execution of it.
constitutional freedom to protest ends at the workplace door too.

If their workplace forbade their actions, then make them stop. If not, and their very bosses sympathize... well, have at it. If I was called an S.O.B for having an opinion by the Criminal in Chief, I would kneel too. What a prick. He's appealing to his beer drinking, hot dog eating, N.A.S.C.A.R worshiping cro-magnon followers. Dipshit Trump seems to agree with Putin on this too, no freedom of speech allowed.
