ughhhhh, i left "the truth" when i was 16 i had my daughter when i was 18. while is was finishing college my mother watched my daughter for me , so they are very very close.
well whenever my daughter goes to visit usualy about a week at a time my mother takes her to the hall .
she fills her head with the doctrine and tells her that ill say bad things about it and scares her into not telling me about it .

a hundred years ago or so, when women did not all look the same and screech like ancient hinges, and strip malls were just a nightmare in a squirrels mind, i wrote a jazz column for a newspaper.
it did not last long as i was eaten up by the wt and became a regular pioneer with an irregular notion and a pile of scruffy s8's.. .
i well remember one issue in which i took great exception to a comment made by duke ellington which seemed to me to be far to general and subjective to make much sense.
RAP. HEAVY METAL. Bad, bad, bad music!!!

a congregation here in the uk had so many cases of m.e (chronic fatigue) that it was labelled as the jehovahs witness disease.
i must say that in my old cong.
and locally in other congs., there was an abnormally high percentage of people with this problem.why do you think this was the case?????
The reason, you ask???!!!
Do MORE, MORE, MORE!!!
It's never ever enough for the WBTS.

i was just wondering if anyone out there had similar struggles after being disfellowshipped?
.
all my life i was a good christian person, then after getting df'd i entertained the idea to do all manner of formerly forbidden activities, since everyone thought i was going to the devil anyway.
Right after being disfellowshipped I became a first class fornicator.
Just loved sex once I discovered it! Loved it, loved it, loved it!!! I mellowed out right around my 26th birthday.
DY
what would it be?
for me i would get rid of the disfellowshipping!
One thing?!
Reduce number of meetings. One 1 hour weekly meeting will be more than enough.

or will one of them invaribly end up being attracted to the other?
Maybe they could be platonic friends if the guy is gay and the woman a lesbian. Just a thought.

or will one of them invaribly end up being attracted to the other?
They'll be attracted to each other; it's just a matter of time.
My husband and I were the best of 'friends' until one day, while at the beach with a group of peers, he declared his love and admiration towards me. It's been wonderful ever since!
The "love" and "sex" thing will always get in the way of a man and a woman's platonic friendship.

in view of the transit bombings, do you feel that police should be able to search you or your bags at anytime?
Search away!
Nothing to hide or be ashamed of. No problem on my part!
Perhaps those human rights activists would prefer to be blown up?!
Yesterday, while on my drive home from work, I heard Dr. Laura speak a total truth: "Activists are among the angriest people there are. To be an activist of any sort is to always look for an excuse to be angry about something".

this is a big tradition for many in the hispanic culture.
but how can a witness have or pay for one of these?
marking a rite of passage.
Big tradition in the Mexican culture. Big, big, big coming of age celebration!!!
I've never heard of JWs celebrating one. However, do know of JWs that privately celebrate theirs and their children't birthdays every single year. They make it seem like a vacation, or just a night out, etc.
Very clever indeed. I'm of the thought that the birthday celebration nonsense of JWs will soon be a thing of the past. Birthdays are milestones that need to be celebrated. In good taste and moderation, of course.

i'm new to this forum and hope to get some advice from the experts.
my exwife is a fully jw dedicated do it all convert had decided to put our 9 y.o.
daughter to home school.
I'm not for home schooling children, unless the school system is really bad or dangerous.
A few JW kids that I knew were home schooled (by parents that didn't have a good education to begin with) lacked social skills terribly. None went on to get a higher education.
