i understand that jws are often seen as anti-social, as said by avenger,i think in one of his posts.. i also read in an article on the jwic site, that jws have acquired a reputation for being anti-social.
in what way are jws seen to be anti-social?
JWs associate amongst themselves.
Then, of course, exists the clicks within where elders associate mostly with other elders, pioneers with other pioneers, bethelites with other bethelites, and so on and so on.
Having said that, do not discard some of us that, regardless of being JWs or not, just don't like to associate a whole lot period. You know, the loner types.

i'm sure that if i had come to this website as a non-jw looking for information on this cult when i was dating my jw girlfriend, i would not have taken any notice of a message like this.
but i cannot stress this enough to any non-jw in a relationship with a jw: get out now!
it is only natural to believe that your relationship will be different to the other failed relationships between believers and non believers which you read about on boards like these.
sjf84,
I'm so sorry to read about your pain. I'm married to a person that loves the Organization more than he loves me and it's very painful at times because I love him so much.
Welcome to this website.

Crooked Lumpy Vessel,
Do we attend the same cong, or is this that goes on in almost every cong? There's a Tramp just like you first described in my current Hall! Of course, she comments all the time, goes out in service and gives parts in the school. Her sexual cravings and behavior is of public knowledge, so why she's not disfellowshipped yet is beyond me.

I'm talking about fornications, adulteries, abortions, rapes, child abuse; you name it. They are a BIG family and all elders, ms, pioneers. They kept it all hush-hush, and the victims were forced to just leave the area or keep it quiet for fear of punishment in the congregation.
It was bloody awful!!! As I hear from some former victims of this klan, the wrong doings and following coverups continue to this very day.

i wrote a letter to the branch office here in answer to their un proclamation.. the one i wrote in dutch i have already sent, but for your pleasure and leisure and fun.
i have translated it from dutch into english so that you "normal" folks can read it.
hahahaha.
Anyone that questions the WTBTS about the UN affiliation is soon disfellowshipped for 'apostacy'. This is how they're covering their mistake.

Avengers,
I can tell you that if you're not 'marked' yet, you will soon be.
Their take on it is that, unless you're on the internet reading apostate's websites then you're not supposed to know anything about their dealings with the UN.
So, prepare yourself.

And because of this nepotism, the coverups are unbelievable!!!!!!!

Not much in my current congregation, but in the previous one up North was a whole lot of that.
Hated it!

a morbid topic i know, but one that has played on my mind since i was df'd.. my mum is still a very devout witness.
if anything happened to her, what would the witness position be on my attending the funeral ?.
i know she would (quite rightly)expect a service at the kingdom hall.
Funerals among JW are nothing more than a sales pitch for a future paradise earth.
Hardly anything is mentioned about the person that died. It's awful really!
DY
whether you have been disfellowshipped, or disasociated yourself or just slowly are fading or inactive... .
or even are still there at the hall attending due to family.. .
do you think that when you were at your 'strongest as a believer' that anyone would have guessed how you feel about the wts now?.
They sure will be!
