  I kinda have Sarah McLachlans. Problem is:

  My mom has it, and well....... she made it perfectly clear that she no longer has any daughters. She also has my wedding dress and several other things. Hm. Oh well. Still counts to me. Maybe I'll get it back some day.

  the first time that i met simon, he was wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the word "apostate".

  it was all spelt out in evil-type letters, in fact it looked suitably demonic.. when i encountered him at another 'fest, his t-shirt slogan simply read: "no!

  i will not fix your computer!"..

  List of things banned to JWs

  by AllAlongTheWatchtower in

  2. beliefs

  my wife is involved with jws, and i want to find out what they believe, things they do or will not do, that i can present to her in the hope that it will convince her that the jw lifestyle is not for her.

  i found out a few things already, like blood and yoga which i told her about, but she was unphased.

  ("i've never needed a transfusion before anyway, and besides, they told me that doctors have blood substitute now".

  It's true, the X-Files was mentioned from the platform several times in my congregation....however, a lot of B.S. was so i wouldnt look too seriosuly into it. Apparently a show about UFO's and demons being hunted down by a photogenic FBI team tinged the conscience of many a christian.

  well, I mentioned this to my husband and this is what he said: yeah, that's because 'the truth is not out there' the witnesses already have it. Ha. lol

  Blackswan: We have no children as of yet, and due to things I am learning now about JWs, I'm not sure that I want any until this is somehow resolved. As for the why...I wish I knew. I can't help but wonder if I am partially to blame, my wife has been a stay-at-home housewife since getting out of the military, and I know that she is bored during the day when I'm at work...I keep asking myself if we had gone out more would she have been less bored, less inclined to take up with friendly and persistant people who kept coming to the door to talk...I've also been pressuring her somewhat to get a job, as money is tight for us...but she has been out of the military for some time now, and has said several times she feels like nobody wants to hire her because she has been out of the work force so long. Maybe I pressured her too much...or maybe as I saw someone say elsewhere here, its easy to feel good when you join the JWs, because whenever something doesn't go right you can chalk it up to "persecution".

  Talk to her. There could be any number of reasons why. Being in the military might have had something to do with it. The persecution thing is always a great hook. I've said this before to someone else, I don't know how it was received, but basically, get her involved with something, better yet, do it together. Like I said it could be so many different things. Communicate with her, pick her brain. Hey, being a stay at home housewife can get pretty dang boring.

  In terms of $$$, is there a chance she could find something she's good at and start her own business? Seems to be a trend. I know someone who buys stuff at outlet malls and resells it on ebay and makes great $. There's no end to what you can do nowadays. Not only would that help money woes, but it would give her something to do. But again, talk to her first.
