What Was The 1st Thing That Made You Question?

by minimus in

as a youngster raised in the "truth", i had my questions.

but anytime you ask a question that is unanswerable, you are told to just wait on jehovah.

as time passes, i believe that we store up a number of unanswerable questions that forces one to eventually think about everything.

The whole supposed "female inferiority" thing. And everytime I asked questions about it, I got the exact same answer: "god is the head of christ, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah....."

I grew up dirt poor, and my clothes were never very nice, and I never had such "essentials" as a "meeting coat", or a nice bookbag. I wore what I had, usually used things, wore my regular coat, and carried my books. And I was looked down on. That made me question the whole "christian love" thing

It was just about everything that happened from the moment my mom was disfellowshipped 12 years ago.

Describe Your "STATUS" In The Congreg...

if you were to describe what your status was in the congregation, what would it be?

were you viewed as mature?

in "good standing", a pain in the rear?

asortafairytale

Bad association, and spiritually weak.

My mother was disfellowshipped, and I studied from 13-18 without ever progressing to baptism. Aw, shucks.
I also had many wordly friends, and ah...several encounters with the police.

Do You Believe In God Or Not?

by minimus in

jw

if you've been associated with the witnesses, believing in god was a necessity.

do you still feel that god exists?

if you believe in god, do you feel that he cares about you?

asortafairytale

I never stopped believing in "a" god, and recently becoming interested in learning about gods and goddesses.

There was a guy in my old cong, who, while "out in service" ran over and killed a cat. He then proceeded to scrape it off the road and put it into his briefcase. He went door to door, placing tracts, and asking if they had lost a cat.

True story.
