JWs Share Advice

June, 14th 2023 The 613 Sisters had a roundtable of seasoned JWs share their stories and lessons from over the years. As someone only halfway through my apprenticeship it is amazing how these women have climbed over incredible obstacles, creating careers and paving the way for others to follow in there footsteps. I am highly impressed at the fortitude it took to pursue a JW ticket in the 70's, 80's and 90's. Make no mistake, there are still mountains for us all to climb, but today I feel there is someone in front of me with a hand or shoulder to help me climb.

For each JW present the following quotes were taken from there words (in order of appearance seated in picture):

"We are standing on the shoulders of other people." 

                   - Gabrielle Saylor-Moore

"Its all in knowing what you can do and having confidence in what you do." 

                   - Lynn Hodge

"You are at the launching point and this career can take you very far." 

                   - Candice Edge

"You don’t wanna teach me? That means you don’t know nothing."

                   -Beatrice Andrews

"It is what you make it."

                    -Katrina Young

I want to thank our incredible guests for sharing with us and encouraging us to keep going because it is worth it!
