in a few words.....

Im still physically in for my family, if you count only going to conventions and the memorial, but i mentally checked out a long time ago. I can't fathom serving a God who they teach is going to destroy billions of people because they dont go to the kingdom hall. What about my neighbor who is a great person and has devoted his entire life to his Lutheran religion. He has more faith than 99% of the people in my congregation but he's going to die at armageddon? Doesn't make sense to me.

Im just going to enjoy my hopefully 80 years on this planet and have a good time. That is what i think God intended.

I used to dread the District Convention when i was a kid, for obvious reasons, but also because my parents would always put away our TV and go through my music and start having the family study again. It only lasted a few weeks each time but they did it every year! What a joke! Those facebookers will be back, J-dubs love gossip and what better place for gossip then facebook!

Newbie here

some forums/boards have a greetings section for newbies, but i couldn't find one here, so i guess i should post here.. i was an active witness in the 70s and 80s but decided i couldn't conscientiously continue participating so i just dropped out.

unlke many others, i don't have witness family.

thus it was easy to just move & drop out.

Hey newbie! This is my first post on here so i guess we are newbies together! This is a cool site because there is a pretty decent mix of people. Once in a while i come across a crazy opinion, but for the most part, i was really surprised how many people think the same way as me. I was raised a J dub, just like most people on here, and i continue to attend a random meeting here and there. My only reason for going is to keep my family happy. ( I have three sisters and two brothers and my mom and dad that still attend hardcore). I have, however, graduated into not going to the CO visits and the circuit assemblys without to much grief from them! I still go to the district convention but im hungover most days and usually end up leaving at noon. It makes me a little sad that all they care about is seeing my face there at some point during the weekend. My wife feels the same way as me but we are scared to leave "the club" because all of our family and friends are there. We have nothing outside of it. So i like this sight because i get to read comments from people who are like me! Sorry to hijack your forum aristeas! Hope to read more posts from you!
