  2. friends

  for what ever reason i have been contacted by a number of jw's as to why i do not attend the meetings etc.

  in the past i have blown it off by saying i am super busy, tired, sick etc.

  i had the opportunity just last week when i ran into an elder and his wife at the grocery store to respond to their comment.

  by harleybear in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  wow.

  louis freed (retired fbi) released a 200 plus page independant report on the culpability of the upper rants of penn state in the sandusky case and it it was not flattering!!!!!

  what struct me was the reference that the university knew of the wrong doing for over 14 year and did nothing about it with the excepiton of covering it up.

  To Vote or Not To Vote... that is the question.

  by harleybear in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  as we all know voting or any political involvement is a big bad no no in the jw org.

  i actually have been a registered voter since i was 18 and was still in the org.

  obviously i kept that very quiet until i made my break from the org.
