The Rumor Mill Never Stops
by R.F. instopping in here.. when i was an active dub i was always looking over my shoulder, making sure i was doing things "correctly"....and by "correctly" i mean by jw standards.
i'm referring mainly to when it came to dating and courtship.
someone always seemed to be investigating us, hounding us so to speak.

Billions of Lives Depend On This?
by R.F. inthe greatest work of all time, never to be repeated, is supposedly done by jehovah's witnesses.
of course you know i'm referring to the door to door work they take part in.
so many lives are at stake and your life is dependent on if you "accept the good news" that they preach.. i surely don't believe this anymore.

The Very Peculiar Fear of Satan
by R.F. inas we know, jws tend to have a very strong fear of satan.
after thinking back, i can't believe the extent to which the concept of satan has gripped many jws with fear.. for instance, there was a member of my congregation whose feelings i hurt unintentionally.
i still believe that if they would've stopped and thought about it that i meant no harm, but since they were hurt i apologized.

Do You Know Any Hardcore Apostates?
by R.F. inare there any very active apostates in your area?.
i'm talking about the snarling, fire-breathing, district convention picketing, apostates that are an absolute nuisance to local congregations, and are very irritating thorns in the side of the watchtower society.. i don't know of any in my area but i've heard rumors of one group in particular that is well known and very active.
if it's true i'd like to find out who they are.

I Believe She's Trying to Get me Disfellowshipped!
by R.F. ini've tried to be nice about it, perhaps i'm just a little too nice when dealing with her.
ok, my ex-fiancee started blowing up my phone again and leaving voicemails.
i considered changing my number weeks ago but changed my mind when her calls stopped but i might need to consider it now.

What Should I Expect?
by R.F. inthe co's visit is coming up soon and i'm wondering what i should expect.. what i'm asking is in relation to my burden responsibility as a ministerial servant.
i managed to get deleted as a regular pioneer and now i'm wondering if i should expect a second meeting, and perhap one with the co.. i most certainly don't want to have to endure another meeting!
i quit field service and meetings suddenly and i'm a couple of month away from being "inactive".

I Tried To Be a Righteous Dub, but What Do I Do Now?
by R.F. inthe topic question has to do with the fact that i tried to be the best jw i could be, which resulted to me distancing myself from certain relatives because they weren't jws themselves.. these relatives i speak of are my cousins.
most of them are my age, and they are actually a pretty good bunch with their heads on straight, not being the scary, creepy, evil people that the wts makes nondubs out to be.
as we all know however, if they aren't "in the truth", they aren't worthy of your company.. the thing now is, i obviously don't believe a thing the wts says anymore and i want to get closer to my relatives.

What is Your Scariest Experience in Life?
by R.F. ini'd have to say mine was when i was at the wee age of 8.. my siblings and i were out swimming with some friends and their parents.
what i remember mostly was that i got seperated very quickly from the rest of the group and drifted into the deeper end.
i found it getting more and more difficult to swim with each passing second.
