i read an article somewhere when i first started studying with the jw's that said that the name jehovah was actually just a hypothesis from a monk in the year 700 or some other thing.. i don't remember if this is correct in the year or where i read it - i read so many things when i first learned what the witnesses were really about.
everything i could get my hands on.. but for some reason i don't know why but calling god jehovah just really bugs me and always makes me think of the witnesses.. does it bother anybody else and do you think if he exists his name really is jehovah?
I believe its Jehovah!
Because Indiana Jones said it himself!

i have recently started a bible study, and think that i may like to be baptised.. i was wondering how long does someone have to study before they are baptised?.
also, i was wondering how many hours do people spend on their mission (door to door).
i would be thankful for any help, as i am just like many, searching for awnsers.
All I have to say is RUN!

just wondering how many others there are like me who are married to a witness who is either actively going or fading away?
i have found that even though my husband is fading away - he still has a lot of those witness thoughts.. it's definately better that he is away from them and not getting their "spiritual food (vomit)".
but i still have worries when his mother calls and invites us to the memorial or tries to give us the latest book.. i feel my blood pressure just about go through the roof.. i'm glad there are places like this board to talk with people and get support from real " friends".
Well I am(kind of) then I am not! We are not DFed or DAed! We are Fade Aways at this moment!
We left about 6 months ago together! I am glad we left together because it would be hard to do it alone!

well, after being out-of-town for nearly 2 months, i?ve decided i can no longer go to any meetings after returning home (not that i was going to that many beforehand).
i?m not sure what is happening to me, but i?ve actually developed an aversion to anything "watchtower!
" i cannot even read the literature, including current awake and watchtower magazines, without getting extremely nauseous!
I am Happy you are Happy!
Just follow your heart. Like I did.

since i stopped being a jw i haven't prayed.
so the other day i went to supper at my parent's house who are still jw's, and they prayed before we ate.
it was a very strange feeling, and it stirred up alot of weird feelings.
I pray! Not as much as some but enough. I talk to god really its not like a prayer of asking him things or saying please help whom ever. I pray like I am talking to my best friend. Sometimes my prayers get so long I fall asleep during it. However I pray it may help it may not but I get alot off my chest.

i am so terrified!.
#2 daughter came home from college on 12/18 with a violent headache, nausea, neck pain and great fatigue.
we took her to the dr. on the 20 and again on the 21st as she had kept nothing down for 3 days.
I am so very sorry...I hope and pray for the best!

okay...the guys were asked which they preferred, mary ann or ginger...now here is a very important question.. in your friendships with other women, are you mary or rhoda?.
I want Ginger!
If I were a lesbo or really drunk I would want her!
I have kissed a woman. I was really drunk and she did say I was a great kisser and wanted to kiss more! Info for the guys to dream about!

the light faded for me when i was twelve.
i asked my uncle what happened to all the people who couldn't be reached by the "truth" in far off lands, or little kids whose parents didn't believe...ect... "would they still die in armagedon?
" he answered yes, and from there on, whether it was bs or not, i couldn't believe.
When they called me an "unbeliever"!
I was not baptized and that's what they called me. After being in it my whole life. However, they let you go out in service and preach the good news! Yet, what you preach is not what you believe in? Does not make sense to me. Then with my whole wedding on how they boycotted it because I was not baptized. I was never warned about it either. Elders said: "congrats" "when is the wedding?" But then the Thursday night before my wedding they told everyone not to come because I was an "unbeliever" and I was warned and My husband and I didn't care and we were going to marry anyway.
I did show the elders that it said in the Bible: "They began to believe and then they were baptized" and that it doesn't say they were baptized and then they began to believe....they had no comment!

new-years eve my husband and i went to my sister's house to bring in the new-year.
my sister knowing much about jws cornered my husband and said " happy new-year don" and he replied" yep it's a 2005".
i have been away from the bs of jwism for a long time and for the life of me i can not remember why it is wrong to celebrate a new year.
Because they know being a Jehovah Witness life sucks and there are no good years. So you can't be happy about it. Oh yeah the time of the end is so near. So maybe there won't be a "new" year!
Happy New Year Everyone!
