  How many kids never buy into the JW B/S???

  by navytownroger in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at the conventions, there always seem to be parents gushing about how their kids are 'in the truth', pioneering, etc.

  i'm wondering how many jw kids just flat-out reject all the jw b/s right from the start.

  surely there are some kids who just say 'no way!

  Doctrine on JWs marrying non-JWs?

  by Margie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i haven't been here in a while, but it's nice to see so many old faces (posters).

  anyway, i am wondering if anyone knows what doctrine exists, if any, on jws marrying non-jws.

  my sister, a jw, is getting married to a non-jw in a couple of months.

  this makes me sick

  2. experiences

  my soon to be ex husband takes my daughter, who is two and a half, to the meetings still because our divorce judge awarded him her on those nights since i didnt attend a place of worship at the time of our split.

  (well duh, i was recovering from a cult) i recently found out she has been "answering" at the meetings.

  (she is very advanced for her age, very talkative and articulate) i'm just sick from this.

  we are filing bankruptcy in three days.

  we finally got enough money together, which included our government incentive check, to pay the lawyer to do it and last night saw two withdrawals from our checking account!

  perfectly legal the bank says.

  hey all,.

  there are a few "what damage did the watchtower do to you?

  "-type threads floating about, and it's easy to get sort of down over it all.

  kind of long...thanks in advance for letting me vent!.

  my sister has been a jw since 1974. she's been waiting for the end of this "system of things" since the fall of 1975. she never went to college.

  she has had probably 80 or more jobs since 1974. she has no retirement savings.
