for some insane reason, i went to jw "official" website (lol) and clicked that i was interested in a home bible study.

i put my po box as an address because i didn't want them showing up at my door.

well, i got a letter today offering that "free home bible study".

Ugly People

do ugly people have a right to normal lives - relationships, marriage, families?.

about half of us must be below "average" attractiveness.

maybe xjws are on average more gorgeous than the general population.. what can you tell about a person by their facial beauty or lack of it?

my therapist and i talked about the bible, specifically, adam and eve and their sinning by eating from the forbidden fruit.

he says it is really a great lesson on consequences of your actions.

i agreed and we talked at some length about it, but one thing i decided, god was not fair.

after leaving, what (excluding the obvious bit of slap and tickle) is your favourite forbidden pleasure.

Long time apostate, first time poster.

.

just found this site today and as well as being amused, concerned and shocked at some of the stuff i?ve found here, reading the bios and posts of other ex jw?s has in a way made me feel a little bit less alone in the world.

don?t get me wrong, i?m not an emotionally scared loner, it?s like i?ve finally found someone else to stand outside morning assemble with.

Time of the End .... for the WTBTS?
by groovycat. in
1. jw
2. friends
i know the wtbts have bastardised the criteria for 'the time of the end' and 1914, but as far as i am aware, it will still come while those that were alive in 1914 (not necessarily of an understanding age lol) are still alive, yes?

now, if we give them all until they are 110 years old (quite generous of me don't you think), that means in 20 years time we should see the wtbts disappear (or at least be in rapid decline) as all of the anointed are pushing up daisies, and this wicked world is still alive and kicking.

suppose we could see an increase in field service at old folks homes!

having a hard time making friends
by happy camper in
1. jw
2. friends
i was wondering if anyone else has had a hard time making friends since leaving the organization.

being raised as a jw, it seems difficult to me, as i was never allowed to have any friends who weren't other jw's.

as a result, i have isolated myself to only my immediate family.

hi, i am new to this site.

i have been an ex- jw for about 10years now, and this is the first time i have done this.

( trying to avoid the "apostate" label) haha i would love to hear from some ex- jw's, and see if they have and are going thru some of the same experiences that i am.
