  Hello all!

  i'm new to these boards.

  i'll introduce myself.. i was raised a jw, baptized at 13, pioneer at 15, married at 18, divorced at 21, disfellowshipped and pregnant at 22, and here i am.

  i gave birth to a beautiful baby boy about five months ago, and i've never been happier, but that has required a lot of sacrifice and hurt.

  There's a fellow here with an occupation dealing with the real estate transaction. His wife's a lawyer, and good thing too. He's awful! She sends out so many "defamation of character" warnings that she must have a filing cabinet at home just for him. Anytime bad news goes around about this guy, she goes off. He's even brought the Nova Scotia Association of Realtors to attention with threats, and made them change their policies.

  Jesus taught Love and Kindness

  by oldflame in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how did the jw's get this backwards when they claim to have an accurate knowledge of the scriptures, they seem to have by-passed this somehow.

  i have never seen such a group or sect or religion that hated people outside of their own realm than i have seen in this religion.

  that is not to be taken personal as i know it comes from borg teachings.

  I hear Jesus was an apostate. He's OK with me!

  I read a book last year which discussed insolation versus isolation. Jesus taught us not to isolate ourselves from the world (as the JW's have done) but to insolate ourselves from their influence as we live among them and love them.

  JW's don't have enough love for themselves, let alone others.

  Elders wives, are they more submissive?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know an elder (hermann) who is so fat and out of shape that his wife has to mow the lawn and shovel the entrance.

  she also works hard inside to make his food and keep everything clean.

  he is 73 and she is 70.. i wonder what verse he uses to make her do so much?

  JH, is she really any different then others in that age group? Maybe different from some, but not the majority.

  Disfellowshipped for being fat and not watching my cholesterol

  by free2beme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i find the concept of taking select warnings of the medical and science world, to disfellowship members, and ignoring others ... all the more interesting as i think about it.

  after all, heart desease is the biggest killer in the americas.

  heart desease and heart related deaths are often linked to and not exclusive to; obesity, high cholesterol, fatty foods, not exercising, high stress, etc.. with this in mind, i dare someone to call an elder and report that they saw one of the local witnesses eating at mcdonalds, even though the doctor warned them it could kill them.

  I agree DY, but why the double standard when it comes to smoking vs. eating? Just let them smoke too.

  Perhaps it's that smoking costs so much. Money that could be better spent on hurricane relief the WWW.
