Never asks me questions of her own...
by onlycurious inmy employee and i have a friendship outside of work, even though i am her boss and about 15 short years her senior.
okay, i'm kindof a mentor friend.. anyway, she is a jw doing 50hrs a month in service and is a 2nd generation jw.
if it wasn't for her mom i swear she would jump ship.. i talk very openly about my faith, church, youth group, people in need and how we handle that...etc.. she never asks me anything.

An Overdue Return
by Roger indear all,.
hi, i'm roger, and it's been about two years since i posted on here, though i've kept an eye on the forum to keep up with the zeitgeist.
i've been reading a lot recently, and have felt i'd like to add some points of my own, but when it's been so long i felt it difficult before making some kind of apology for my absence.

Socially Stunted?...you betcha.
by Lumptard inmy apologies if this has been done to death, but i was just curious how many of you feel that you have been socially crippled as a result of your association with the jws?
granted, this probably affects people who were raised as jws more than those who chose for themselves, but i just wanted to see if anyone else has had the same experience...also, how did you work through it if you were able to?
