  Nope! It's just you.

  Of all the congregations where I've attended, I can recall perhaps 1 or 2 with that kind of 'pop-eyed' look about them.

  Nothing to do with being a JW, though.

  JW dating sites and the number of divorced!

  by toladest in

  i was curious to see if i knew anyone that would post on a jw dating site so i checked out jw connections that is linked to on this page.

  i did not find anyone i know but i was kinda shocked to see the number of ones there that were "divorced, but free to marry".

  is this a big problem now or is it just that more divorced jw's use the web to find "mates".

  Divorce and legal separation are of rampant epidemic proportions within the WBTS these days.

  Women aren't putting up with much anymore as they've become less dependent on a man to support them.

  Just a couple of weeks ago, a regular pioneer and an elder (both lost their privileges now) of many years of marriage and many years serving with such titles decided to go their separate ways. Both seemingly nice people! Then again, who the heck knows what really goes on behind closed doors. So sad for their children!

  Hispanic JWs are much more warm and into family values. By far, the clickiest of JWs I've ever known! Like a very close knit family of sorts.

  I notice, at least in the areas where I've lived here in the USA, that the American (anglo saxon) congregations seem very cold and distant. Excellent for fading!

  I plan on going to the movies and seeing this movie, regardless of my disagreement with his views on psychology and his publicity driven relationship with Ms. Holmes.

  If I was to disagree with the point of view of the many different artists or their life style, I'd for sure not ever go to the movies!

  Smelly Onions,

  You are so right!!!!!!!!!

  Most of my relatives are JWs and are among the nicest people I know. Like you, I really appreciate the morals and self-discipline learned while growing up a JW.

  Hang around here and don't leave because some ask you to. I need more kindred spirits that share my views. And you're right about finding out juicy stuff. I already know the name of the publication coming out in the assembly and I haven't even attended yet! How cool is that?!

  There are many of us here that know the WBTS is only a religious/man-made/business-like organization and just like any other organization will have its good and bad. Some will accentuate the possitive and some the negative.

  That's the way life goes!!!

  Be well.
