yes I was 16 when I left, I threatened to leave a few times and got in huge fights with my parents( but it was usually about something else, my weapon against them was threatening to leave) I would just stay in bed for the meetings and argue about why I should go somewhere I don't want to be, when I won't even be listening, eventually I just stopped going, but at this point my parents decided to "take a break" and we haven't been back since and a pack of wild horses couldn't get any of us back.

Check this out! Even BETTER than satellite pics of your house!
by Elsewhere inhttp://local.live.com/
i can literally zoom in and look the contents of my apartment patio.
rotate the images and see your house from different angles by clicking on the compass.. you have three viewing options: road, aerial and bird's eye.

For me it would've depended on my parents, since I'm only 18 now I just basically followed them religion-wise, but I'm pretty sure if mom had access to the info she has now I can safely say yes we would have been out sooner

A memory from being a JW
by KW13 ini remember when mum first started going (for the second time).
she was disfellowshipped, thus no one would talk to her or me if i was with her.
i kinda felt cut off too.

there was a little girl in my hall who was about 5 years old, and she was commenting, just a few words that her mom whispered to her, at the end the speaker said thank you ummm ...(he couldn't remember her name) so her still having the microphone said "My name is Megan and I Am Canadian" people started to snicker because thats the line on the beer commercial her mom quickly grabbed the mic from her haha.
Another time the same little girl was sitting behind a little french elder who was bald, and said loudly to her mom" does he wash his head with a face cloth its so shiny?" he heard her lol!
another one was when the sunday meeting was canceled halfway because of a snow storm and as this was being announced a boy that was probably 11 years old said very loudly YESSSS!! everyone laughed because he was this little suck up, elder in the making, I copy everyones comment right after they say it, brat. ahhh the voice of truth

kw what a jerk he was....another one I remember is a boy my age (we were probably 12 at the time) walked out of the hall and just puked everywhere on the steps, the elders had to clean it up( those window washing skills came in handy lol no offense to anyone) guess he realized how nausating the meetings were lol

divorce
by deda inif a spouse has been unfaithful and a legal divorce has been finalized is the marriage over in the church's eyes?
i've been told by the elders that i must witness the adultry or provide two witnesses that can speak to the adultry.
my ex-spouse will never confess to his past or current sexual acts.

if you are legally divorced does it matter? you're not married anymore so you can date whomever you chose...they say you need witnesses to do it, but they know that no one is stupid enough to cheat in front of people, it is their way of making their religion seem good to outsiders...not as many divorces etc...do what you want it's your life not theirs
