Unfortunately the org talks about elders not being police but then encourages them to be that very thing by default. There is always a great deal of emphasis at elders schools regarding punishment for various offenses against the church or church policy. Thats generally the focus of those meetings in their whole... Its a shame but truly punishmenf comes before most else in the org, even for men who otherwise wouldnt view things that aay.

I think if it helps make condoms more tolorable for people who need or should use them then its great.... But in a committed relationship, unless there some specific health reason, there is no condom in world 'natural' enough for me to even consider it.

Even Now, You Haunt Me...
by Garrett ineven after leaving the organization, it still lurks in the background like a shadow.. as some of you know, i met a wonderful girl a while ago (which i'm going to need your help with).
she is a catholic and i am open and very respectful of her beliefs.
however, i know there will be a time where i will have to tell her that i once was a witness... and to be honest, i'm quite scared of that.. i don't want things to be ruined between us because of a disgusting cult that i was in.

I agree with ssc. This is totally your cult upbringing playing on your fears. She will no more care you were a jw than you care is she catholic. For her it will just be some random trivia question... "Oh yea garett used to be a jw.... Hes also went to highschool at valley high....." Its a big deal only to you :) Take the leap of faith and share it with her just to set your mind at ease. You have to be able to share scarry things to really love each other. She will put you at ease over it and you will feel much better. -

Noah's Ark
by Darkknight757 inso i'm reading the book "the atheist book of bible stories" and something just occurred to me.. noahs ark rested on the top of mount ararat.
how the hell did all the land animals, dinosaurs and other monsters get to ground level?
did noah and his family just push them off the mountain and hope for the best?

I understand why some feel the wt os close to broke and i totally agree that they have a cash flow problem, but the sale of these properties will keep them afloat a long time. Reports of their demise are greatly exagerated -

Is this a BEAUTIFUL STORY--or what?
by Terry inis this a beautiful story, or what?.
act one________.
now in an ordinary romance of the golden hollywood era, the boy goes off to war while the young lady waits nervously for his safe return.in a cary grant, debra kerr movie, the two vow to meet after a certain period of time and tragic circumstances intervene.. in my story, the young man is a conscientious objector who goes to prison instead of off to the vietnam war.

Terry... Im so sorry. I dont have anything profound to offer but my heart breaks with you. When we risk to love it is just that: a risk. There is always the chance we will not be loved in return.
I hope this can turn into healing for you, having had a chance to reconnect after these years, once the pain subsides.
