The real reason why young people get baptized
by free2beme inthe real reason why young people get baptized .... to make their parents happy and proud.
to be able to get married (which is some cases, is to get away from parents).
... okay, okay, i know it depends on how young we are talking.

Average JW's age?
by jstalin inis there any demographic information available on jws, such as average age?
i have a friend who is a devout jw and he invited me to the memorial this year.
one thing that interested me is that there were perhaps 10 guys and girls under 30. my friend mentioned to me that most kids leave the org when they're around 18. he's 23, and still lives with his parents.

This is so wrong !!!!!!!
by lola28 inmy god i can't believe what i just saw.. i was on the website for my local police dept.
and saw a link they had for a website that listed sex offenders.
i clicked on it and put in my zip code, i could not believe how many sex offenders live in my area, what is worse is that i know two of those listed and i never, ever would have thought that they could be a danger to children.. what bothers me so much is that many of these offenders commited crimes against children, i would say that a good 90% of those listed had been convicted of molesting children.how do these people live knowing what they have done?

Was it like this when you left the witnesses?
by Sad emo inwhen i finally left the rc church after a long fade and joined another denomination, i got overwhelming feelings of guilt/doubt about what i had done.
i guess it wasn't helped by my sister's reaction to what i had done either - that just hurt even more.. now, 10 years on, i don't get the doubt and guilt as often, but when i do, the feelings seem even worse than they did when i first left almost to the point that i'd consider going back just to make them go away (but then i'd probably feel guilty about going back .
also, i seem to think that more 'bad' stuff has happened to me since leaving and when bad things are happening, i can't get away from the idea that god might be punishing me because i left the 'true' church and am therefore a really evil, sinful person who is only fit for hell and deserves everything i get.

Ever have something weird happen in meeting, with APOSTATES!
by free2beme ini was at a meeting one time and the elder was giving the talk on "sex and marriage" on a sunday.
i always hated this talk and the elder giving it always seemed uneasy with such a bold topic in a mixed age group.
well, right in the middle of the talk, this woman stood up and asked "so, are you saying oral sex is wrong?
