  No comment on the picture as I know nothing about these individuals.

  I do, however, have an opinion based on my observations and some close people's (relatives) experiences, that some good little jw's get married just because they want to get laid and not get disfellowshipped. Sometimes they have to settle for what is available. There are so many constrictions as to how to get to know the opposite sex in their little cult cookbook. You can only go to so many gatherings with bible pictionary and charades with soda and chips. Maybe if more people chose to portray Delilah or that chick with Joseph? it would've been more enjoyable!!!

  Ok you people. Geez, where is your sense of humor?

  I will take down the pic on the grounds that some of you believe this jw couple can't take a little good natured riffing on an apostate site. (looking at the guy, I didn't think this was the case)

  As far as the black/white issue that didn't enter into it (as long as the white boy is adept at using his tongue, I don't see a problem with it lol).

  I could have picked from thousands of young jw couples pictures and generally speaking (my job does not deal with statistical analysis) you would have a mis-matched couple. Most of the time the only thing the couple has in common is that they are both JWs.

  My comments were based on my experience, my observations of my area in my lifetime. As a young jw girl in a medium sized congregation, there were 10 girls to one boy (who left us all and went to Bethel). Thus my 10:1 scenario.

  btw if your job deals with statistical analysis could you have possibly taken offence at my "nerd" reference? lol

  Anyway you want to deal it, JWs get a raw deal when it comes to marriage.

  Ms. Whip,

  I took it as a joke. That picture I posted really is of my wife and I (with my part of the picture tweaked a bit in Photoshop). I tried to play into your joke.

  Sometimes people take what is posted very seriously if it is posted without the use of smilies.

  Respectfully,
  AuldSoul

  Well, one of the moderators will have to remove the picture as I am unable to edit my post.

  AuldSoul, you and your wife look like a great couple even if your face is really like that lol. and look at that beautiful baby you both had! j/k (i've decided to write j/k (just kidding) after everything i write) j/k

  I see what you are trying to say Ms Whip. I agree. I've seen some JWs marry and when you look back at the wedding photos you don't see the genuine happiness, the love radiating between them etc. Its really sad.
  And I can't help but think myself lucky that I never did get stuck in the same situation.

  Mrs Whip I have edited the image out of your first post on this thread. And I hadn't even read the responses yet.

  I wasnt ripped off. My exwife is a wonderful woman and for the most part our marriage was great. A part of me will always love her.

  The rip off what when she was wrestled away from me. Forgiving that will take a lifetime!

  Joining the cult was bad enough, but marrying a JW was the most self-destructive decision I ever made in my life.

  It feels worse when you're BORN into it.

  I think they rip you off in how to go about solving problems within the religion. Now more than ever couples in my area are suffering in the marriage department. They run to the elders for answers and what do they get?....

  xeroxed copies of a W.T article from the early 90's on having a successful marraige.

  I know this because it was done to me. And they did'nt even read the article before discussing it with me and my wife.Right then and there I know that it was all bullshit...all of it.In my opinion it takes more than bible flipping and being counseled on when to render your "due". Especially when SHE did'nt want to work it out as well. We were not having sex because she was f@cking someone else while complaining that I was "Too Big"(wtf?!) Yeah, but while I enjoyed the compliment deep down inside I knew that she was letting another man inside of her. I felt like less of a man. And when I explained this to the brothers....all they did was this......and tried to show me a scripture of comfort.

  In the collective you're being told and shown an unrealistic view of what marriage is. This is'nt Leave it to Beaver....this is the 21st century.

  Those that live in the jw box that are newly married are just that; in a box. Living in a house of lies like I did.

  cheers

  jojochan, the bastard.

  jojochan, my JW wife was constantly unfaithfull too, but you have to leave that crap behind. Real love and trust and honesty and inner beauty was something I found outside the organisation.
