Hi Bull01lay!
So glad you are free from that insideous cult! Yeah for you!!!!
ive been logging on to the website for awhile but have only been reading.today ive decided to extend my hello to all of you and to thank you for helping me out in confirming a decison i shouldve made years ago.
i left the j-dubs last august (by fading) and i feel so much happier in my life.
i can say bless you when someone sneezes, i can go to a birthday party, put a x-mas tree up, and have sex guilt free .
Hi Betty Boop!
Welcome! So happy for you and the decision you made! You're free!!!!!!!
i know this young couple; the wife is a jw and the husband is not (and has no desire to become one).
the wife was baptised after they got married.
she has been a jw for almost a year.
Thanks so much. I appreciate any information, as I've never been a JW. This young couple is very special to us, and we're just concerned about the future of their marriage.
Another question: Do you think she (the JW) will notice a change in the attitude or friendliness toward her of her Kingdom Hall Elders & friends AFTER her first year in the org is over?

If a ex-dub mate starts throwing apostate comments to the dub mate, Elders can be quick about encouraging a seperation.
Gumby, if he (the x-dub) has been throwing apostate comments to her, is she REQUIRED to report this to the Elders? Can't a husband and wife talk about things in the privacy of their own home without the Elders knowing?
THANK YOU, everyone, for your responses!
Sassy, I like your new picture! It's cute!

Hi!
I know this young couple; the wife is a JW and the husband is not (and has no desire to become one). The wife was baptised AFTER they got married. She has been a JW for almost a year. My question is: since she has not been successful in converting her husband into a dub, will her Elders really start getting on her case now since her first year "love bombing" is over?? Will they go so far as to suggest she divorce him??
Thanks so much for any help and knowledge on this subject you can give!
.....couldn't log in for some reason.
anyway, our child's spouse is a witness, so _______ couldn't come over and take part in our family mother's day activities.
we had such fun that day and i felt so bad that _______ couldn't be with us.

It's so hard to understand how this org can dictate to their followers that they're not allowed to celebrate Mother's Day (and other holidays)......it makes me so sad for them....... I know you all can relate and thanks for listening.

some of you know that we live way out in the country, deep in the woods of northern mn.
one of the great things out here is the abundant wildlife that we see everyday.
last week we had a huge porcupine in the yard (which our four year old calls a hamster.....lol).
Hi Scootergirl,
I'm a bird lover too, so I really ENJOYED your bird photos!! Have you ever had a canary?? I had one for about a year then he mysteriously died. I still can't figure out why. I sure miss hearing his song around the house.

i know there are numerous examples of crazy, whacked out stuff that the wtbts taught that most of here now realize were just that...... crazy and whacked......... but do you know how insane some of the stuff in that original 1961 bible was?.
This isn't really related to the green Bible thread, but I noticed one (of many) weird things about the NWT. In the book of Matthew, they're calling the baby Jesus an "it". Why do they call Him an "it"?
hello everyone nemo here...just keep swimming, swimming, swimming.. anyway, i let my closest friend know how i felt currently about the organization and what affect it has had on me.
she has agreed to not share it with anyone, she won't, but these are the questions she possed to me.
i need to reply soon but my mind is overwhelmed with everything i have learned so i would like help formulating some answers.
Jehovah's organization is imperfect and constantly being refined.
A couple thoughts:
Why would Jehovah choose an organization that just can't get it right (false prophesies, flip-flop teachings, scandals, etc. etc.)?? The answer is.......He's not.
People don't need an ORGANIZATION to serve God. He works through individual hearts.
