NO didn't go. I am just not feeling it anymore. In fact I haven't been in the 4 years I have been out. I know people in my former hall still talk about me. Let them talk, for I am so over that too.

tKingdom Melodies I remember/liked.
by ScoobySnax inok bucking the trend here, but there was some kms i liked, alot of stick has been given to "gods loyal love"....well i liked that one.
nice melody.. i think song 4 "gods promise of a paradise" too.
and song number 15 "life without end at last".....remember this was in the brown book....still like that one, especially at conventions, always guaranteed to be on the sunday programme, still get teary eyed at that one.. what i want to know is what happened to "keep your eyes on the prize"....i can remember writing those words out on a sheet and hanging it in my room, surely the classic jw kingdom melody of all time...guaranteed at conventions circa 70's/80/s......still miss it, and hum it even now occasionaly.

I used to love Life without end at last, and To god we are dedicated. I remember having tears in my eyes the day I sang that song with the others on the day of my baptism. I was so happy I had taken a stamd to serve jehovah for the rest of my life. I never thought I would say this but I regret I ever made that decision.

When The Circuit Overseer Visited, Why Did You Do More Than Usual?
by minimus inwas it pressure, the desire to conform, was it because you thought that you could work in service with him???
were you trying to get appointed?
did you really think it was a "special week of activity"?

Basically it was a big week to show off. Those that rarely attended meetings would show up early to all the meetings and be at those meetings for field service. It was really interesting to watch. I recall the hall being packed with lots of visitors on Sun for those talks. It appeared as if one was never doing enough when the CO would show up. My mom would always have her hand up way in advance for feeding the CO and his wife and then drive herself nuts trying to find out what they liked to eat, or what they were allergic to. I recall running around town trying to find flowers for a centerpiece. Way too much work than I wanted to invest in for that week. I don't miss those days

Whats up with this person and that person annoucing they are leaving the board? I see alot of those statements more frequently here. Is that supposed to be an attention getter? Why not make your exit and just move on?

I never really understood why some jws felt like they needed to dress to the nines for the memorial. I remember sisters going all out wearing evening like dresses with sequins and suits with huge church looking hats. Kinda ridculous now. Since when is the memorial a big social event? I personally am not into that anymore. If I do go I guess I will have to drag out my old kingdom hall clothes. But then again maybe I won't go at all.

What is the worst thing about leaving?
by sleepy in.
everyone probably has a slightly different experience when leaving the witnesses.the worst aspect about this for me is the realisation that my enteire life has been lived and directed by a false premiss, and the effect past decisions now have on my life.. it can make me feel sick in the stomach on occation.. also the idea that friends and family think i have tuned bad or evil to have left jehovah is qute disturbing at times.

It destroyed my relationship with my mother who is my best friend. Things between us will probably never be the same. We are slowly trying to get things back on track. She honestly believes that one day Jehovah will open my eyes and show me I need to come back to the org. NOT!

Why not just be upfront with your parents. Sooner or Later they will find out about your inactivity. Stand up for yourself even if your standing alone!

I really did not appreciate the elder who told me which people could not participate in my own wedding. Last time I remembered it was my wedding right? By the way I wised up and called the whole engagement and wedding thing off. He was a wus without a spine. What was I thinking? It scares me to think what my life what have been like now if I had married him.
