  by redskymedic in

  2. friends

  just wondering if they have their own site and forums.

  i haven't gone looking myself, obviously.

  i didn't know if this type of setting was a big no-no.

  a member of the gb splits breaks away and takes a few billion with him.

  he decideds to found his own church.

  this church is almost exactly the same as the jehovah's witneses except for a few major changes .

  Is your family close??...

  by Hecklerboy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was talking to a good friend of mine the other night on the phone and i was telling him about my wife wondering why my family isn't very close.

  when we started thinking about it we both decided it was because we grew up jw's.

  i would love to be closer to my family, but it just seems we have nothing to talk about.

  How many here grew up JW but had worldly friends?

  by Jez in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my best friend was worldly all through elementary to high school.

  we are still good friends.

  i wonder if that led to our being a tad bit more open minded and aided in our exit???

  Being a JW Woman - Was It Really That Bad?

  by eljefe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have seen quite a few posts from many ex-jw women about how unhappy they were about male domination in congregation.

  was it really that bad?

  when i was still a jw, no one ever told me anything to that effect.

  Rutherford's Views on Women

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "the women make monkeys or dupes of men.

  the men have before effeminate, soft and easily influenced and have lost their real manhood and sturdiness in the affairs of state and home.

  for instance, when men are sitting at a table and a woman approaches, all the men arise and pay her homage and thereby elevate her to a place above men.
