UNbaptised, DISfellowshipped & Free
by Miss 8572 inso hello everyone... i'm a brand new member and happy to be here... to know i am not alone.
i have been a jw since birth however i was never "encouraged"/forced to get baptised by my parents (lucky me!
) i always considered myself a member on the fringes of my congeregation and almost everybody treated me as a member even though i never commented or went in service.

How did you feel when first posting on JWD?
by R.F. ini was in heavy doubt about the organization, but still in the back of my mind i was a bit hesitant of posting because it was the "unforgivable sin".
i think it took me 20 minutes to type my first post.
i still felt that once i submitted my post that a bolt of lightning was going to come down upon me, so my hands were shaking as i was typing.

what's in it for the women???
by chelsea ini have often wondered what's in it for the women???
i just read the story of minimus and it is so clear that such power and privilege on offer to males in the borg would be enticing and probably addictive... but the women will never have such offers or opportunities.
they will always be required to be in subjection.
