While you were df'd and coming back to the meetings, did you talk to JWs?
by asilentone ini was surprised about my df'd friend that sent me an email very recently that he has been going to the meetings for 2 months.
i would not try to stop him because he loves his jw family too much.
we were very good friends before he got df'd.

What is your thought in this
by superman inmy wife and i (who are both faders) were having a discussion the other day about how most of the jw kids who were teens in the 90's have now left the religion.
i mentioned from personal examples of people i knew, that the one ones who left early (around age 17-19) seemed to end up (though difficult at first) with better lives.
i knew of several who went to college, or learned a trade, married out of the religion and eventually moved on with their lives.

Some JW's just stopped by
by superman ini am at my girlfriends place (she lives in a completely different territory from me and i don't know any of the jw's around here), right now she's at work so i was just listening to music and reading this site and all of the sudden the door-bell rings (must have been jehoova's direction).
i look out her window, and i see brother "old as dirt" with a tacky, out of style leisure suit, and one those stupid looking magazine purses (you know the one that they hold under their arms) and the bible in his hand, and with him is sister "desperate looking, 40 year old virgin" probably a pioneer (you know the type, the semi-homely, probably single pioneer that just spews desperation out of their pores).
well i was going to go down, answer the door, and mess with them (this area is a few hours from where i'm from so nobody knows me here), and do some undercover apostatizing.

Funny JW memories/stories
by superman insince most of my memories of being a jw, are terrible(and i do mean most of them).
i figured i share one funny one.
one time back when they first started the new number 2 talk arrangement (switched to only doing bible readings, and not having to actually write a talk), i got a talk slip but lost it.a few weeks later i didn't realize i had a talk only until i got to the thursday night meeting, and the school overseer came up to ask me, "are you all set for your talk tonight"?

Newbies
by choosing life inwhen will this site be opened up again to new ones?
there don't seem to be any moderators here to annoy and the pace has really slowed down.. new ones often have fresh perspectives on things.
any news on when registration will reopen?.

JW's feel God will destroy all those involved with the military, but when a crisis hits and they come to the rescue, they become a Godsend.
by kitten whiskers injust had to laugh and shake my head today.. hubby's cousin, an ex-jw too, keeps in touch really well with his folks who are still in.
they moved south to kentucky to where the need was greater along with some others from our old congregation.
one couple, very well loved and sweet as pie, moved to south america to where the need was great again.. recently, the husband, was attacked and beaten nearly to death.

Is this true
by superman ini've been faded and moved out of the area where my records are kept (the old hall i last attended).
the elders there don't bother calling me anymore and even if they did, i've moved so far away that they couldn't stop over for a visit anyway.
since i am in a new area now where no jw's even no that i exist, life is pretty good (i can live a normal life without having to look over my shoulder).

JW's and Homeschooling
by superman inin the mid-to-late 90's i remember the new trend was that a lot of the people that were jw's started pulling their kids out of regular public school and started homeschooling them.
the absolute worst were the kids who had been homeschooled from kindergarten all the way until they graduated.
those poor kids were the most weird, unsocial, naive,sheltered, unadjusted, and uneducated kids i'd ever met.
