What is dating as a JW like

by UFCFan in

jw
friends

first off i want to say that i'm a teenager which makes my situation interesting.

i don't want to give too many details in case someone i know reads this but i'm between 14 and 18, homeschooled, and i've been awake for around one or one and a half years.

i already have a plan to attend usc or wisconsin university if i'm smart enough to get in and then move to san jose and try and get a job working for a hs football team or with a soccer team, since i want to coach sports or be an agent.. now, this all sounds great in theory but there's one thing i've been thinking about that makes me doubt my plan.

very well written for a teenage homeschooled young dub.

Introducing myself

by maksutov in

my name is russ, i'm 40 years old, from the uk, and i left the jws nearly 5 years ago.

i've been a member of the yuku board throughout that time, so there are probably some on here who know me already.

there seems to be more activity over here at the moment, so i thought i'd pop in and say hi.i was raised as a jw, started questioning it when i was 16, but there was no internet back then (well, no www anyway) so i got sucked right in and got baptized when i was 18. auxiliary pioneered on and off for a couple of years, then became a ministerial servant.

JW Children - We're normal, and have fun at conventions, etc.

by berrygerry in

was reading a poster's experience with custody, and the info in wts child custody packet.. children are prepped to present themselves as normal, with school friendships, hobbies, activities, etc.

and not to mention that their life-goal is to pioneer.. the school brochure (1983) contains this gem:.

"they [witness families] also travel several times each year to attend larger gatherings called circuit assemblies and district conventions.

i cant imagine why any normal kid would stay in the cult when they grow up.

oh--i was forgetting--a domineering dub-mother probably.

When did you realize evolution was true?

by Coded Logic in

) which person/source first made you reconsider your position on creationism?.

) how long a period of time did it take to fully convince you?.

) what books and videos did you read and watch?.

REASON demands belief in God

by abiather in

it has been the history of mankind that they proceed from the crude to the subtle in all spheres of life: they seek the subtle amidst the crude, and in the subtle, they seek the subtlest.

when hunger is extinguished, humans looked for art.

ancient humans appreciated the harmony of music; they also liked to dance in joy.

stan livedeath

abiather makes a very good point.

sadly--i havent the faintest idea what it is.

What is the reason?

by OneFingerSalute in

what is the reasoning behind having so many hoops to jump through to login?.

most sites require only a user name and password.

so why user name, password, not a robot, capcha code, then finally login?.

stan livedeath

i'm logged in all the time. only need to do it if i run cleaner programme.

About myself

by tamagotchi in

hi to anyone reading this, so i little bit about myself.

i'm 24 years old born-in, all my family are in, my father is an elder.

though i'm not fading as such i no longer believe jw.org is gods chosen organisation so you could say i'm mentally out.

stan livedeath

i was 23 when i quit the religion--i simply didnt believe in god--so any involvement with the jw's was me living a lie. but i was already married to a born in fanatic---and our first kid was on the way. somehow the marriage lasted another 10 years----.

all that was a lifetime ago. i'm retired now
