I don't think I was completely different when I came out. It was just a refresher, to help you polish your skills. My friend's mother put WAY too much emphasis on it, and wouldn't even let my frien...

I would tend to disagree, just with myself as an example, i feel that it showed me so much more that i didnt really know and it was a AMAZING experience to spend 2 weeks with JUST jw's that become really close friends, when i left i was so sad and i wished i could just go back every year.

I guess I never got that emotional about it. I'm a robot.

TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER

yeah some things about my life definitely definitely changed after pioneer school. I realized i was handling certain things the wrong way. I had completely wrong attitudes and views about certain things. Just as an example - the scripture that says that the husband is the head of his wife...and the whole 'weaker vessel' thing used to make me extremely angry. Then, the chapter about women's role in Jehovha's organization really opened my eyes.

Basically, I would agree in saying that pioneer school changed my life. Not "COMPLETELY CHANGED" but certain things definitely changed. To this day i think it has made me a much better person and better equipped to be a wife who understands the headship arrangment, heh.
