  First Christmas

  by yxl1 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when we first left the dubs, we celebrated x-mas pretty much straight away, but had no decorations or tree, and only gave gifts to each other.

  for some reason it just seemed wrong to put up decorations and we continued to celebrate this way for about 5 years.

  we decided to put up decorations when it was my daughters 1st x-mas, and have never looked back.

  Bizarro things the person with whom you studied told you

  2. beliefs

  "traditionally, women in japan were to walk 10 paces behind a man.

  that is much more appropriate than what is going on here, what with women thinking they are men's equals.".

  (this from a 24 year old female pioneer)

  Child Abuse not grounds for divorce

  by RevMalk in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i've read, and heard that sexual child abuse is not grounds for divorce according to the watchtower.

  can anyone help me in finding documented proof to that effect?

  (or even not so documented is a start).

  Coming to the Dark Side

  by Vita Nuova in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i believe with certainty that the critical point when my de-programming from the jw mind-set began was when i was hired by my former boss and present friend of 9 years.

  she was the most adorably human person i had ever met, yet she was a part of the world nonetheless.

  i believe that our specific friendship began to infiltrate my conceptions about the world in a way that wasnt wholly evident to me.
