A Good Response to the JW "you don't believe us, you must be bad" attitude
by Check_Your_Premises indub: <insert your own generic, typical, obnoxious jw comment that hints to, or directly states that the only reason you aren't a dub is because you are some kind of a-hole>.
non-dub: "that is interesting, but maybe i could tell you what i think about that.
see for me, i try very hard not to presume that a person has a dishonest or bad motive behind their choices as a believer of jehovah, because i wouldn't like anybody to treat me that way.

I dont know Prophecor, I feel for you man but I'm so glad I didnt marry a jw and then leave. Yeah he doesnt quite understand my fixation with the jws now that I have been out of it for close to 20 years. But I feel if I had married that jw when I was 19 and had a fews kids with him and then left in a moment of clarity I would be in worst shape. There are so many on this board going through that same scenrio. I do (and others here too) understand your frustration and I hope our words give you some comfort.

Even when I was a youngster the thought of receiving and consuming the "spiritual food" of the society always seemed unpalatable to me.
Josie ~ I hope I used the word in the correct context

Unplanned pregnancy?!
by JW83 inthis sort of follows on from another thread about having kids.. is there anyone else out there coping with raising a child from an unplanned pregnancy?
i got pregnant about 18 months after i left the borg & i sure as hell blame my lack of experience/knowledge!
it has been a pretty rough ride ...

I have 2 kids that were "unplanned".
The first one happened because I mistakenly thought that since I had to use fertility drugs with my first 2 kids my fertility was the same and I would still need help to get pregnant.
What happened was after the first 2 kids my body was like "let's kick this baby making machine into gear!" So my 3rd kid happened and he's a joy.
Then I got an IUD to try and shut this thing down. Got pregnant with the IUD! Had my 4th kid and second unplanned pregnancy and he's a joy too.
After all that I got my tubes tied.

question for all
by bonnzo inmost of you are ex-dubs, so what if world events proved that the jw's were right.
for instance, governments turning on religion, matthew 24th chapt events really increasing at an alarming rate, enough to make you think: " maybe they were right?
" if that happened, and the wts left the "door on the ark", so to speak, open for a little while, would you go back to the wts?

well that's assuming that somewhere in the back of my mind I think they really are right and I'm just playing a waiting game to jump on board when the clues are clearer.
But no, I don't think they the jws are right nor do I think they ever were right nor do I think that they will be right about anything in the future.
So in closing going back is not an option (and will never be an option unless I totally lose my mind) because of the answer I gave to the first part of your question.
