  when that gut feeling turns out to be right.............

  .

  i was concerned about my friend and worried as they hadn't returned my calls or emails, so i thought i would travel to see him, and find out if my bad feeling was nothing to worry about.. he had died and i will miss him, i knew, my insides knew and it hurts.. he was my secret and it seems to hurt more as i have no-one to share the grief with.

  Tell her exactly how you feel.

  Help her by making a plan with her to watch your diet and exercise together.

  Apostanator,

  I feel your pain. Most of my relatives are JWs, and such the nice bunch of people that I really enjoy outside of their JWism. Therefore, in order to keep communication with them, I play their game and stay semi-JW, otherwise they'd all alienate me.

  I have high hopes for reform in this regard, since the die-hard JW generation is literally dying off.

  The end of the world is different for everybody, depending on how we all die.

  Death is the end of the world.

  I'm trying not to have it happen like that, but according to my family history, the end of my world will come in the form of a stroke or a heart attack.

  Thus far, I've lived quite well. So, bring it on!

  Does anyone think the WTS is actually a 'front' organization?

  by truth_about_the_truth in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i've been thinking about this for a little while and it appears that this is a possibility.

  although i cant say that there is solid evidence, it looks as if the clues are there:.

  - clandestine involvement with the un as an ngo.

  The WBTS is a religious BUSINESS. Lead by imperfect men. Similar to many other Christian religions.

  for example: we had a 'faithfull' brother getting older and confused.

  when something did not really went as he liked it (didn't get the answer etc) he shouted very loudly 'god doom me in the hell!

  one time i had to do the closing prayer on the midweek meeting.

  One of these days, while at the Service meeting, I was really tired plus bored out of my mind and a yawn came out really loud and many people turned their heads and gave me wicked stares.

  Sorry!!! I didn't think it'd come out so loud. I caught some laughing, though, as if I had read their minds.

  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

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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!
