So what caused you to have doubts in the first place?
by nicolaou ini had no doubts at all about the 'truth' untill a friend of mine in the cong' began falling away.
in trying to help him i had to ask questions and do research and that of course cracked the doors of my mind open for the first time in over thirty years.. years ago, when jwd allowed members to have signatures, i used the following quote from voltaire as mine.
i still love it.. doubt is uncomfortable, certainty is ridiculous..

just came across this guys trip blog through a google image search on jw's.
anyways i found it interesting that toword the very last of his pictures of his trip to rome he has a few of him partying it up with some jehovah's witnesses and being shocked at how different they were from the ones at the door.. i found it funny as i remember being a witness kid and partying, how it felt like such a relief to cut loose, get away from the jw talk, just have fun with friends, and then go to a sunday meeting with a hangover.

Have You Ever Served as an Attendant? Share Your Stories!
by Funchback ini remember being a jw lad (about 10 or 11 years old).
i would be at the circuit assembly and, at around 10:45 am, about 8 brothers would get up, walk slowly up the aisle, glancing at each row of their "section", their lips quivering as they silently count each person, trying to maintain focus as nearly each jw makes eye contact them (even though everyone knew what the attendants were doing!
did i want to grow up to be the president of the united states?
