  Would you have married your spouse if you weren't both JWs?

  ok, i've had some wine, but i'm curious.

  objectively speaking, but for the religion, did you have enough in common with your spouse to have met and married as non believers?

  Yes. His personality and mine are very much in sink and compliment each other very well. He is one hell of a looker, to me of course.

  I feel very fortunate in this regard.

  Bruce (Caitlyn) Jenner is a very rich white man. His outward behavior makes perfect sense.

  Making friends in the "truth"

  what is it about making friends in the organisation am i the only one who had found it tough?

  don't get me wrong there was some good people but unfortunately there was also a lot of egotism, back stabbing, jealousy and gossiping.

  i could never really fit in any group, everytime i thought i had found a group it was as if i would be sidelined or ditched.

  Oh, I have many an "associate", and the same is true that I need time in the week and weekend to cover all the invites my family receives for JW fun events. However, any perceived misstep against the WTBTS and everybody will back away and the invitations will cease immediately.

  For as long as we are perceive to be JWs in good standing things will continue to be peachy.

  Friendship among JWs is just an illusion. I understand it and accept it.

  There are no "friends" inside the WTBTS, only "associates". Hell, in this Org even your immediate relatives will turn their back on you if you stop obeying the GB master.

  Lately, I am having issues with family and other "associates" because I refuse to use an electronic device for meetings and service. It is annoying!

  Jordandemm,

  I find that true friendship is harder than usual because it is directly connected with one's loyalty to this Org. It is frustrating, and totally the reason why my best friends are among my immediate family.

  Growing up I had very close friends that drove themselves away merely because I did not continue to work as hard as they did for the WTBTS. Friendships are elusive in this environment.

  The people are mobilizing Mr Drumpf

  protesters shut down a trump rally.

  massive numbers of people are out in chicago and have shut his event down.

  there were scuffles inside the event.. despite his lame attempt to pretend the violence he instigates is nothing to do with him it's clear that it is as the cnn quotes during the last event showed only too well.. this doesn't happen at anyone else's events - candidates have even given up the stage to protesters, not called for them to be beaten and punched.. trump is an ugly person and this is just a small taste of what a future under his rule would be like.. shame on the gop for not kicking his ass out.

  i finally had the guts to create a profile to be able to post.

  i've been lurking for a few months and have read all your experiences and comments dutifully.

  you have been a great help in my process of waking up from this cult posing as the one true religion.

  Hate breeds hate.

  Trump and his followers must be stopped by any means necessary, as Malcolm X once said. Screw peace, it's fighting time.

  You know, your average JW is okay, but the top echelon are some sons-of-bitches. Definitely not Christ-like at all.

  Having said that though, there are many JW males that define there mere existence by whatever title they hold inside the Org. This is not right either.
