Did you fear the elders more than God?
by JH indid you fear the elders more than god?.
i think that the members of the congregation were afraid of being caught by the elders if they done something wrong.
but on the other hand they felt close to god and asked forgiveness if they done something wrong.. i think that there was an exagerated fear of the elders, as if they were equal to god.. what do you think, in a way, did you fear the elders more than god?.

Congregation members too old or too young for you?
by JH in.
were there enough people in your age/group or did you have to hang around with much older or much younger than you?
i had that problem in my congregation... a few were my age, but they were married, so we weren't often together.. did you feel isolated in your congregation because of age difference or because you were single?.

confused teenage witness
by smias03 inhi everyone, this is my first post.. i have come to this site for almost 2 months but have been too scared to post... don't really know what i'm scared of but i even set up a different hotmail account when i registered... anyway, i'm a 19/f who was raised a jw (baptised a year ago).
i was homeschooled, and basically had no communication with the "world" even though my father is an unbeliever.
my parents were divorced last year (unscriptual divorce from my jw mother).. and now i'm living with my dad and have not spoken to my mom, not because i have doubts about the truth (she doesn't know) but because she was a hypocrit and liar through the divorce.

Does anyone miss those tuneful 'kingdom melodies' ?
by frankie inis there anyone out there who cannot bear those appalling kingdom melodies we had to sing ?
i never liked them one bit, did you ?
so wonderful to hear proper hymns (not that i'm a churchgoer) but at least they have some fantastic music.
