social skills and JW's
by Descender init occured to me the other day that many jehovah's witnesses have very bad social skills outside of the kindom hall.
my brother, who still goes to meetings but isn't a strong believer, and his wife, who is a 4th generation jw with very stong beliefs and a very self righteous attitude asked my wife and i if we'd like to go for a hike at a local national park the other day.
i faded years ago and my wife is not and has never been a jw and isn't religious.

Strange Situation
by Descender inhey all, so over the past three months i've been going to the highest mountain to the depths of hell trying to win my wife back against the better judgement of everyone that knows anything about my situation.
anyway, the other night i went to the strip club where she works as a cocktail waitress and while i was there she introduced me to a stripper that used to be a jw.
she sat down with me and talked about jw lies and who we knew from old congregations and such.

Question I haven't seen yet
by Descender inthis is my first post, i've been reading the board for a few months now and i must say it's rather addicting.
anyway, back to the topic of my post.
i was wondering how many, if any of you went out with a bang, like on a sunday morning meeting while you were giving a talk, or maybe while you were giving a #2 or #4 talk on the ministry school.

Idiot work mates
by Descender ini don't really understand why some people can be such idiots.
how can people dismiss every other person's religion or belief as illogical while holding strong to their own illogical beliefs.
i work with a few bush worshiping ultra conservatives.

Coincidences
by Descender ini had a funny experience the other day.
i went out with a girl who was into astrology, i personally don't give that sort of thing much credence.
but as she got to know me, she kept on getting a more and more surprised look on her face.

This ever happen to you?
by Descender inhas anyone here ever tried to tread lightly until a certain date just so you won't screw up someone else's event by getting disfellowshipped or speaking your mind and getting shunned?.
i'm just wondering because my brother is planning on marrying a witness girl next spring.
the date is set and he's asked me to be best man.

Disfellowshipped
by Descender injust wondering, how many of you were a glutton for punishment and kept on going back and getting re-instated after succesive disfellowshippings?
i was disfellwshipped twice, the first time i was re-instated six months after and then six months later i was df'd again, then i came back in 4 years later and then a year later i faded away.
that's where i stand at the moment.

Witness Gathering
by Descender inwell, i went to my first witness gathering i'd been to in probably 7 years this last weekend.
i know, who goes to a witness gathering when they haven't even gone to the hall in 2 years?
well, it was a wedding shower type thing for one of my close family members and i was asked, so i decided since i had nothing better to do, it would be a fun look at the other side, and i wanted to know if i was past all that witness lingo and guilt.. i really didn't know very many people at all there, but i do have to say, i'm past it.
