JWs and extracurricular activities
by MoeJoJoJo injw children miss out on so much.
i was raised as a jw and there were so many school activities that i wanted to participate in but was not allowed.
i remember my gym teacher encouraging me to go out for soccer, i asked my parents if i could and of course i knew the answer would be no even before i asked.

What Are Your Beliefs?
by MoeJoJoJo ini am very curious in what everyone believes as far as religious beliefs.. since leaving the org, i feel i am still in a limbo state, i'm not quite sure of what i believe yet.
i believed a lie most of my life which i'm sure most of you can relate with, so its not so easy for me to jump right into something else.. i do feel there is a superior being who created us all.
i am still trying to sort things out.. so if you care to share, are you atheist, pagan, christian, etc.?

JWs and Honesty
by MoeJoJoJo inare jws really all that honest like they like to claim?.
in my personal experience, i don't think so.
i believe they are just like anyone else and don't "stand out" in respect to their honesty, as they like to claim.

Were you always guilt-ridden?
by MoeJoJoJo indid you ever stop feeling constantly guilty while you were in the org?
i never did, no matter how much i was doing as far as field service & meeting attendance it never felt like enough.
i never felt like i was doing enough, ever; even though we were at all of the meetings faithfully, with three young children, which was no easy task.. .

Girl Scouts
by MoeJoJoJo indoes anyone know what jw's have against girl scouts?
my mother would never buy girl scout cookies and i was always taught to feel that joining the girl or boy scouts would be wrong but never knew why.. my daughter wants to join and i want to know what i can expect to hear from my jw family.

Avoiding JWs
by MoeJoJoJo ini am so sick of being bothered by jws(we are inactive);every weekend we can count on someone from the hall stopping by either saturday or sunday.
it makes me mad because i know they are counting time with me.
a sister from the hall just called to see what is wrong, why we haven't been to meetings.

Proxy for the Annual Meeting
by MoeJoJoJo ini remembered there was some discussion several months ago concerning the annual meeting when i came across this form attached in an old watchtower, dated september 1, 1935. i thought it might be of some interest to some here.
notice in the instructions that "each person or company that has contributed $10.00 or more at one time to the work of the society is entitled to one vote for each $10.00 so contributed".. personally i thought it was interesting.
thanks bitter mango for your help.. .
