This really disturbs me... doubting teens still join JWs
by Aussie Oz ini find this very disturbing and personally so as i have teenagers being groomed for the watchtower society that do not believe everything and get up to mischief.... i am really bothered by the number of people on here who can recount the doubts and 'worldly' behaviors of their teens and yet still got sucked in to the jws.. while i am pleased with my children not being as dumb as i was, i mean, i feel like i must have been a sandwich short of a picnic when young.

aside from discovering playboy magazine i never did anything wrong.. even though they are more switched on than me, it's not going to be enough i fear.. oz.

Missing District Conventions
by FreeAtLast1914 inin my case, even after i stopped attending meetings, my family still had contact with me, though it became stranger and more awkward as the months went by.
but it all fell apart rapidly after i missed the dc and my wife went without me (to appease her parents who were in attendance).
