'PROPER' dress code for kids at the KH
by jambon1 inspeaking to a sister while i was in, she mentioned to me some trouble she was having trying to get her young daughter into a skirt for the meetings.
to cut a long story short, the girl just did`nt like skirts.
simple as that.

Was Jesus sacrifice really a sacrifice?
by jambon1 ini would like to state firstly that i in no way intend to offend anyone.. its just when i was in the org i had major problems with the blood issue/death because of persecution.
many times we were taught that god does`nt ask us to do anything that he has`nt done himself.
now imagine everything the bible says about jesus really did happen.

Local needs after d/f or reproof
by jambon1 inthis may be a question for ex-elders.
is it always the case that a talk will be given after a d/f or reproof relating to the persons 'sin'?
after these announcements in our hall we always seemed to have a talk/local needs, which practically told you what the person had done.

How depressed/ill are JW`s?
by jambon1 inhaving spent a couple of months in the world after a decade of devotion to the wt i have began to realise how hardly any of my friends have problems with illness.
it dawned on me a while ago that many, many witnesses have problems with health in one way or another.
how many times did you go to the hall and ask someone how they were doing to be told, 'oh, just struggling on', or 'i have`nt been too great' or 'i`m feeling a bit low just now'.

If you were not raised in the truth.....
by jambon1 inif you were not raised in the truth but came in as an adult, how long did it take for you to realise that what you were taught in the bible study was`nt being practised in the congs.
for me, i realised things were`nt quite right before i was baptised, probobly within 2 years of association with the org.
when i became more heavily involved after baptism i realised that some elders/pioneers had drink problems and were involved regularly in 'secret' serious sexual misconduct.

The need for educated proffesonals - more WT hypocrisy?
by jambon1 inone thing that always annoyed me when i was in the org was the policy on education.
i personaly am not college educated, i was`nt raised as a jw.
however, i have always appreciated the services provided by those who have had a college/university education.

Memorial attendance - how many inactive JW`s?
by jambon1 inthe yearbook regularly speaks of the 'large' field of activity that involves the 7/8 million extra memorial attenders who are not active publishers.
the thing is, in our hall, few of these people were actually new to the cong.
i would say there are only a couple of million at best who may 'be there for the 1st time' each year.

Zealous JW`s having children......
by jambon1 inwhen we had our children we planned them.
we made this known to any in the cong who asked if we 'got a surprise' when we found out we were pregnant.
we basically said, 'no, we wanted children'.

Tsunami / Terrorism / Mud-slides in Phillipines
by jambon1 init really bothers me how jw's (and other religious people) refer to gods 'perfect' creation.
- genesis, "and god saw that it was good"
at the same time they blame imperfect, sinful, wicked humans & a devil for all the suffering that is going on in the world.
