What is your experience when you stop turning in time?
by gingerbread infor the past year or so, i've been turning in just one or two hours of service time.
it has been mentioned to me from an elder "friend" that i'm never seen at any meetings for field service.
i get his implication.

Quick question, did you feel lonely at the meetings even though you were part of the action?
by Theocratic Sedition injust curious, something i've noticed only lately.
i'm in the mix within the congregation, stay late after the meeting is over, converse with quite a few people afterwards, make plans for saturday and sometimes sunday service and yet i feel so awfully alone walking to my car afterwards.
i feel lonely when i'm talking and laughing with people after the meeting.

fun at Costco
by wizardca inat costco with the wife buying half the store, but that's besides the point.
go to the shortest checkout lane and i recognized the checker from my old jw days.
she dated one of the brothers from my hall for awhile until she decided he wasn't spiritual enough.

Disassociated with the JWs
by wizardca inafter having faded 12+ years ago, finally decided to da my-self.
i haven't done it before, mainly because the jws have left me alone and have family that are heavily into the religion cult.
in recent weeks i've had the "in" family go off the deep end with their actions increasing being rediculous.
