  What is the reference to the fairly recent WT whereby we cannot choose where we can live in the new system?

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

  by 3rdgen in

  2. friends

  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?

  I ask myself that very question often.

  Our still-in family and friends are all victims.
  

  Only Watch Tower teaches to hate the victim.

  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.

  If you're like me, you'll over analyze as to "Why did I not wake up earlier?"

  If so, it's a bitch.

  To understand how we were captured for so long:

  I also strongly recommend reading this

  as well as Bonnie's book

  I found it hard to count, but NASA and its divisions won about 64 Telly's.

  (Each letter on the recipient page loads about 20 entries per page - it takes a while.

  I tried loading ALL, but it doesn't load for me. It looks like there are 1,000's of recipients.

  WT's newspage says "Out of 12,000 entrants" Could be 12,000 "winners.")

  The "most honest people" on earth....?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  have we noticed how often the society uses comments like this?.

  "jehovah's witnesses are the most honest people...etc".

  while it may be true that witnesses as a whole are decent, law abiding people, are they truely "honest" when the very foundation of beliefs are based on mistruths?.

  Why has the UK produced great rock bands, given the US roots of rock?

  years ago when i was "in" i loved the book study.

  it was my favorite meeting by far.

  mainly because it was a small group.

  I could wear a sweater instead of a freaking monkey suit - so that was good.

  Got to sit on a comfy couch instead of a hard-ass chair - so that was good.

  Got to cuddle my kids to sleep - so that was good.

  Snack night once a month - so that was good.

  Only one hour, instead of two - so that was good.

  Conductor was dumber than a sack of hammers - oh, well.
