  I thought a prerequiste for being a JW is cheating with someone else from the congregation. I was the only one of my family to marry a "worldly". All three of my brothers got married to JW's and all three got divorced. I have stayed married for twenty years. Some of the people I've known through the years are on their 3rd or 4th marriages to different witnesses. pc

  this from a lecture i heard by an anthropologist:.

  "the adequacy of a definition is not to be judged by the group to whom it is applied.

  marinate on that for a minute.. bradley

  Logansrun, That was great! Since I came to this site and others like it, and really found out the truth about the WTS that I grew up in. I realize now why people always refered to it as a cult. Whenever I discuss religion now I start off with this statement. " I grew up in the cult of JW's". PC

  I wasn't even going to view this post and then said what the heck. I just started to laugh out loud when I read it. I have three older brothers. Growing up as witnesses all three had bed wetting problems. My mom eventually had this thing installed when they wet the bed this loud ringing bell would go off. Did I mention my dad was the PO.I have two boys and never had any problem with them wetting the bed. Must be because I chose to leave the witnesses and give them a normal childhood. Thanks for the laugh PC

  Herk, I am a little confused by your statement. If you go to www.ntgreek.org/answers/answer-frame-john1_1.htm ,t shows the correct greek translation. When you read the entire article it appears to me the NWT is the only bible that does not translate is correctly. If that is true why would you suggest using it? PC

  I too have been trying to find out what translation is best. In my travels I have found two good sites. One is www.ntgreek.org/ This can help you translate the verses correctly. Another site is about bibles. www.netbible.org/docs/soapbox/versions.htm

  Scholar you should check out the NETBIBLE SITE. The only one they say is horribly translated is yours truly, NEW WORLD TRANSLATION!!! A completely unbiased site. I'm surprised Knorr didn't call it "The Bible According To Me"!

  How long did it take you?

  by jumper in

  2. friends

  i spent most of my life waiting for the sky to fall, with most aspects of my life dominated by fear.

  iam 37 and havent set foot in kh in over 8 years but at times even today when my brain say things like "dont think you have gotten away with anything gods still going to kill you".

  the thoughts dont stay very long or come very often but when they do its out of the blue, and not cool at all.

  Jumper, I stopped associating 20 years ago. I'd go to a meeting with my parents when I'd visit them with my kids. I always felt the same way as you. Waiting for the end to come. I was so brainwashed that I convinced my "worldly" husband about some of the doctrines. My mom got sick and I started researching the blood issue bcause she had a blood disease. She then died two years ago after years of not accepting blood. I started a journey from that day forward. She died May 2001. I live in CT and was specifically effected on Sept 11th. I then went to listen to a pastor in my town just to go somewhere that following Sunday. My life changed that day. I realized that there are people who are searching without any motive. Just good, nice, sincere people. I've been on my journey since. I found this website sometime around Oct of 2003. I have been amazed at the information I've read here. I now realize, take nothing at face value, and research it yourself(something JW's never do). So basically it took me my whole life(46 years) to see the light, but it's warm and sweet. Better to find out now then never is my saying. God bless you on your journey!!!PC

  Dear JT

  I'm new around here and just read your post and all the wonderful things people wrote to you. You must be an incredible person. I am one of those who was raised as a Witness. Family was very connected to the early days of Bethel and Gilead School. I have a great life, but am so sad about everyone, and all the different situations weve gone through. I couldn't stop crying about your friend who went to prison for honoring the JW's. I will keep him in my mind everytime I say a pray. I wish you a wonderful 41st birthday. I hope your future journey in life, with your wife and family is filled with love and happiness. PC
