I haven't cried in a long time. I just can't do it. Very rarely do I allow myself to show any sign of emmotional weakness. I can't really help it. So I feel your pain.

21SHOW SOME EMOTION
by tijkmo ini was thinking today the showing emotion is frowned upon by jws .
you cant be angry..about anything..because you arent cultivating the fruit of the spirit .
you cant be bitter..because you should be forgiving .

What is your quirkiest quirk?
by damselfly ini, damselfly, can not knowingly eat the little squiggly, umbilical cord things in eggs.
i have to very carefully separate the whites from the yolk and remove the squiggly bits with a knife.
i get gaggy just thinking about them.

I should learn not to tell people my middle name. It has very bad sexual connotations when you say my full name. I made the mistake of telling Brooke (Whyamihere) and her husband, now whenever they see me they start to laugh. I should make that a quirk.

Group of X-JW's Survive Great Tribulation
by HadEnuf instevens point, wi:
contrary to the belief's of the watchtower society, a group of former jehovah's witnesses have survived the great tribulation and are now prepared to face the coming destruction of armageddon, knowing that they will again be victorious through whatever is thrown at them by "acts of god".
though many people are not aware of this fact, the watchtower society teaches that only a select few will survive what they term the "great tribulation" and armageddon, thus entering into a paradise on earth.

I still run marathons and half marathons. I could give you good advice on shoes, as I worked for Eastbay for many years. Brands to look at are Asics, Brooks, and Saucony. New Balance are over rated unless you need lots of support. The cushioning in New Balance tends to be very hard. Please do yourself a favor and stay away from Nike running shoes unless you have very narrow feet. Any questions shoot me a PM.

Think of the Children.
by Daunt ini've seen a lot of posts lately about children and their sexuality and this subject has always kind of touched me the wrong way, because it was hard for me to get a definitive answer for it.
the children today hear sexual content many times out of the day.
i was never specifically worried about this since i am one of these young ones and it hasn't made me a raging ignorant sexual deviant anytime lately but it is something to consider.

I can't believe how little I knew about sex growing up. I think it's very important to make sure the kids know how to protect themselves. You can preach against it all you want, but that usually doesn't work except to make them more curious. Better to tell them the facts and have them take precautions.

not dfd but no-one speaks to me
by dedpoet ini am ex pioneer, ex ministerial serpent not been near a kh in 6 years, smoke, drink had a live in gf until recently, but not dfd, so much for keeping the cong clean!
still, none of my "brothers" with a couple of exceptions, speaks to me now, their way of trying to win me back perhaps?
not that it'd work - i am happy now after 10 years of bs from people who ought to know better but don't

Welcome to the board. It sucks when they shun you. But all of us will be more than happy to talk to you.

Getting wedding invitations from people who really don't know you or care
by LongHairGal ini am sure many people get wedding invitations from people who don't really know you or care about you but who invited you just the same.
sometimes they got cancellations and had to fill a number or they want $$.
maybe you went because it "wouldn't look good" if you didn't.

I haven't gone to a wedding in years. I don't get invited anymore anyway. I don't do social events often. But I know what you mean. When I was a JW that used to happen all the time.

Would acceptance of the gospel change the world?
by greendawn inwhat do you think would happen if the world or at least a large powerful nation accepted and practised the gospel as it is without watering it down?

I believe the Bible is the crux of all evil in the world. Look at how many have died in the name of Jesus. Pathetic if that is supposed to be our example. Where is our great king when humanity is falling apart? Definitely not paying attention, and certainly not giving a crap. That's just my opinion.

My other quirk is I get bored of jobs very quickly. I always have one, it's just that lately I can't seem to stay interested in them for more than 6 months before I want to move on.
