And I thought it was just Scottish JWs and my step father.
I've lost count the number of times I've paid 2 or 3 times the price of my families meal just to stop the embarrassment. I've never been in that position since leaving.

If you had a JC and spilled your "Personal Beans" did you really think it stayed confidential?
by LoisLane looking for Superman inwe all "know" jc's are suppose to be private....so that the uniniated, innocent, can speak freely.
i say, uninitiated, because once you spill your guts and the elders use your embarassing, heart wrenching story as a lead off at their next get together/party, for a laugh, you have been initiated into your local brothers hall of fame.. so, are those jc's, really private?.
can you really talk privately, about your love of violent video games, masterbation, oral sex, shop lifting, doing drugs, or "doing" anything or anybody, and expect total confidentiality in the watch tower society elder world?.

openmind - On the whole, the elders I served with over the more than 10 years I was one, maintained confidentiality. With a couple very shocking, irritating exceptions.
punkofnice - Yes. This was my experience. Whereas I kept my mouth shut, it was surprising which elder's wife had the 'goss'. Truly disgusting
Ditto - exactly the same here too

by sd-7 inshould christians drink water?.
how refreshing it can be to satisfy oneself with a cold beverage on a warm day!
many christians choose to do this after a long day of zealous kingdom preaching.

My introduction/experience
by happy@last ini have only just recently found this site, in fact only recently gone online to do research of my own about jws.
before i left i had only gone on my gut instinct, not even realising i was not alone with my feelings.
the week i was appointed an elder some 11 years ago, i had had to write to a congregation many miles away from me about how unloving they were (more details below).. not long after i started to have concerns about jws, expecially as the message of 'following the bibles message' subtly changed to 'follow the fds', this did not sit well with me.

Fortunately most of the kids in the hall my kids attend are two faced. Only tonight one of mine was telling me that the kids in the hall are nice and pleasant in front of their parents and behave completely opposite when their parents are out the picture. I encourage mine to have friends at school, who always tell it as it is, are streetwise and realists.
Friends are always tricky, kids fall out all the time. As far as teaching them TTATT I use real life issues, not doctrines. Just ask if things make sense to them, ask 'what if' questions, they are more clever than we give them credit.
