How old were you when you were baptized?
by moomanchu in.
reading hellriders topic made me wonder about this.. i waited till i was 21 because i was drinking alcohol as a youth and didn't want to get baptized while breaking the law.
man that is screwed up, seemed reasonable at the time.

Empty Nest Survival tips?
by serendipity inmy daughter is 17 and it's occurred to me the chick will be leaving the nest in a few short years.
since i'm single, she's the sole focus of my attention at home, and it's hard to deal with her growing up.
it's so hard, that i get teary-eyed just thinking about it, and i'm not generally a weepy woman.. for those of you who have lived through this, how did you cope?

Does items considered part of the "Occult" still scare you?
by free2beme inif i met you and you saw that i wear a pentagram and often speak about tarot and rune, and mention how i do magick and you saw that i have a wiccan calender on my wall and there are statues around my house of gargoyles, dragons, and other things no good witness would be caught dead with.
would you be okay with this or does your mind still see these items as demons?
i a an adult, i can accept people being judgemental of these items and i do come to expect it, especially with my own personal background in the religion.

Is there anything good about having been a JW?
by parakeet ini've been lurking for a few weeks and decided to throw my hat into the ring a few days ago.
i've been out of the org for almost 30 years (a long, dreary story for another post).
i wanted to ask those who have been out of the org for a while if they have discovered anything beneficial that has resulted from having been a jw.

I just got this
by fullofdoubtnow ini just took my mum home with her shopping, and she gave me a letter from a sister in my old kh.
the sister was one of my best friends for years, and one of the few people outside the elders who i told i was about to da, and why.
she knows i have moved recently, but doesn't know my new address, so she dropped this letter at my mums this morning:.
