Good/Bad Associates
by Marcos ini have seen a lot about the wt teaching on being careful about one's associates.. i feel that i am discerning enough to know what a good or a bad associate for me would be.
i try to be kind to all and keep my judgements fo myself (yes, i judge as to with whom i will associate or whether or not what someone does is something i wish to participate in or be associated with.).
i teach my son to be selective as to his associates.

Hello to all of you...
by ExpandedMind ini've been visiting this website for months and decided it's time for me to say hello to all of you... so "hi!
i have been away from the wts for a while, but lately have felt a need to get in touch with others who have travelled the same path.
until relatively recently, i thought that all was "well" (relatively speaking) in the organization, but have found it facinating to read the comments of those who are still associated with the wts and how they are dealing with it.

$64,000.00 question?
by Blueblades inits a two-parter.will minimus ever run out of questions and will jh ever catch up to him?.
side note: i remember an elder given a talk once and he was discussing living forever.his highlight was that living forever means that you would never run out of questions to ask god.why, soon as you got the answer to a question, there would always be the next question.. minumus and jh,i don't mean this in a bad way.both of you ask some meaningful questions and i have enjoyed reading the many different responses to them.i even see you guys passing the watchtowers ,"questions from readers"which i think some are fabricated to keep the rank and file in line as they give their answers to their own questions to allay the real questions we might want to put to them.. keep it going guys.

I got an answer from my dad
by Elsewhere infor several months i have been asking my family and the organization what the difference is between someone who "simply leaves the faith" and someone who "went out" (disassociates).. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=39631&site=3 .
today i finally got the answer from my dad on the phone.
according to my dad (an elder), someone who simply leaves the faith is someone who still believes in jehovah and the organization, but does not attend the meetings.

Are you ashamed to admit you were a JW?
by sleepy in.
how do you feel about telling people you were a jw, does it make you feel like admiting you were a flasher or some strange perv?.
i told a lady the other day who asked about what i was doing for christmas, that i used to be a jw, but i had to make sure she knew i was brought up as one by my parents , just so she didn't think it was my choice.. she thought i was very brave for leaving though.

Am I the only one who really didn't enjoy x-mas?
by willdabeerman ini may sound like a bit of a scrooge here but i really didn't get into x-mas.i honestlly didn't enjoy it.or better yet not enjoy it but i don't get why everyone is so excited over it.don't get me wrong it was cool as hell to see my lil step daughter get all excited over her tons of presents.but i just dont get it.
you spend many hours and stressful days spending alot of money and you spend all this time setting everything up all for about an hours worth of actual celebrating it.the time ratio makes no sense to me.
it is cool however to spend a lil extra time with the family.
