JW's - Better than others? Or ashamed?
by freedom96 ini have read quite a few posts that describe witnesses as haughty, snotty, thinking they were so much better than others because supposedly they had the truth.. i try to remember, and i don't recall seeing that as much as many of them being downright depressed, shy, and appeared to be ashamed.. myself, for one, was never one to announce to anyone that i was a witness.
certainly never held it over others, for i was always embarrassed.
the idea never crossed my mind.. there of course were always the ones that thought that they were better than others, but i always chalked them up to being that way regardless of what religion they belonged to.. what did you notice?

Mrs. T's big adventure.
by JeffT insince we have been married debbie and i have never traveled very much, for a number of reasons (many borg related).
when younger, i went to mexico and europe, but although shes always wanted to see more of the world, until 1990, with the exception of a funeral in nyc, debbie had never been outside washington, idaho, california and bc.
in 1990 my dad was awarded half of the nobel prize in medicine and we got to spend a week in stockholm.

The Perfect Witness
by JH inwe all know brothers and sisters, who never miss a meeting.
even if there is a snow storm, or any good reason to miss, they will always be there.
every saturday in the field service, and always saying yes to the elders.. did these people fall on your nerves, because they were so devout?.

What makes them different
by JH in.
isn't it easy to spot jw's?
not only by the way they dress, but also by the way they crowd up cars.. just about every time i see 4 or more people in a car, especially when driving slowly, i know they are jehovah witnesses.. what other traits do they alone have?

Advice You'd Give Your 12-Year-Old Self?
by SYN inthis topic came up on slashdot, where some of the replies were...interesting, to say the least.. what would you guys say to yourselves, if you could send your 12-year-old self a message?.
i know that was about the age i began to read really well, and only five years later i left "the truth", so it was a crucial point in my life, as it is in the lives of many...?.
"hello self, this is...yourself speaking.
