Did your KH have a minimum skirt length, max heel height,
by White Waves inor other stupid rules for women?
ours were contingent on the spirituality of the sister and, if she was married or an elder's wife, etc.
then, she got more leeway.

Special Field Service Campaign at DA
by limbogirl ini have this memory of going to a da back in the mid to late seventies -- i was about 8 years old -- and there was a special field service campaign.
seems to me that one of the assembly days was shortened and everyone was given a service kit -- some tracts in a plastic bag -- and everyone was to go out and preach for the remainder of the afternoon.
i remember going with my dad to get in line to pick up the bag of tracts and then going into the neighborhood around the stadium to witness.

Welcome, broken_wolf!
by cruzanheart ini'm glad you finally started posting -- i know everyone here who hasn't met you will love you and those who have met you already appreciate you, even if you didn't take part in the moon party on my front lawn last saturday!.
for those of you who don't know, broken_wolf is my dear friend margaret, the brilliant editor and graphic designer of brian mcglothin's book "have you seen my mother?".
even though she was never saddled with the burden of being a jw, she appreciates what we've all been through and admires the courage it takes to walk away from such a high mind control group.

What are your reasons for not joining another religion?
by MARTINLEYSHON ini am going to start this debate of by saying that those of us who were raised in the so called truth, and i being one of them, can only come to terms with our past by accepting that our parents infected our minds like a virus infects a computer.
we wouldn't categorise children according to their parents' political stance, since they are too young to make up their minds about such matters.
but they (jw) segregate them from the world.

Did you ever write an excuse on the back of your service report?
by JH in.
when i joined the jw's, i remember an elder stating that when you do less than the average number of hours in your month, mark the reason why in the back of the service report sheet that you give at the end of each month.. did anybody else receive these instructions way back in the late 80's?

Do you believe that Demons really Exist.
by MARTINLEYSHON inthe reason why i have asked such is question is that i served as a congregation elder for 12 years.
i served as the presiding overseer for 10 years, and as chairman and media spokes-person for a particular region.
during my time within the organisation that being almost 30 years, i have concluded that there is, as far as my own experience is concerned grave doubt in my mind as to the existence of the devil and his demonic hoard.

A wife chased by other men at work
by greendawn ina woman i know was telling me recently that because she is pretty and has a nice body most men at work try to flirt and cajole her with the ultimate aim of having sex with her, but because she is a married woman she resists their advances.
she stresses how loyal she is to her husband.
so is she commenable or should she be liberal and have sex with other men to be hedonistic and enjoy life?
