  Do you know the words to the national anthem?

  by Mysterious in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ah to be a jw and be singled out every time it's sung or played.

  since leaving the jws do you know the words to the national anthem?.

  thanks to the school system and a pretty good memory especailly for lyrics i knew the words in two languages before i ever left the witnesses, something that i'm quite proud of today.

  Need some quick advice...

  by sassafras in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my biweekly jdub visit is coming up here in a few hours, and i could use a bit of advice.... the lady knows i am a big time doubter, but she has some sort of personal mission to get my husband back into the truth (it makes me sick to write that) and get me in as well.

  she comes by at the exact same time every two weeks to drop of the new wts, reads some scripture, asks how i'm doing, blah blah blah.. i'm pretty polite to her, but i'm ready to kick it up a notch.

  any suggestions for something i could start with?

  my dh was raised a jw but hasn't attended a meeting since he started college (5 years ago).

  he despised meetings and slept or doodled in his wt through at least 99% of them.

  hello, i've been lurking around for a few months now, finally registered a few weeks ago, and figured it was finally time to post.

  first of all, let me give you a little background so you know where i'm coming from.

  i'm 24, married to my soulmate, and mother to a 2 year old boy.
