Worldly Husbands
by Frenchy in
1. jw

larc has an interesting thread going about why jw men choose to date (and beyond) worldly women in lieu of dating the seemingly overbundant supply of 'horny' sisters available.

i recommend it.. it set me to thinking about yet another interesting phenomena in jwdom.

that is the situation where the jw woman has, as a husband, a 'non-believer'.

magazine, about the wtc disaster.. no doubt that perhaps many of the sept. 11 experiences are real, but what i mostly read were these shameless advertisements for the watchtower complex in downtown brooklyn!!

Wasted Life Story..The Uncaring Husband 1.2.02WT
by ISP in
1. jw
2. friends
this is the wasted life story from the feb 1 2002 wt.. i would have entitled it the uncaring husband........ this guy gets married in 1954. tragically his wife has to have an operation to remove a brain tumor in 1957. this leaves her in a fairly desperate state.. as a result, my wife was left partially paralysed , and her speech center was badly affected.

now a whole set of complicated challenges arose for both of us.

even the simplest task became a major obstacle for my dear wife.

Pagan or not pagan, that is my question.
by libra_spirit in
1. jw
2. friends
i have been trying to figure out whether or not i am a pagan.. i looked in several dictionaries and now i'm really confused.. one says a pagan is one who has more then one god, another says that all religions that predate all existing religions are pagan.

christians say everything except christianity is pagan.

i'm beginning to wonder just what the word actually means, if anything.. christians use the word with distane, others seem to rejoice in using the word to describe themselves.

How Long A JW ( Baptised )?
by hillary_step in
1. jw
2. friends
i frequently read on this board that somebody has 'been a jw for over 25 years' and then learn that they are in fact 25 years and three days old.. i am very easily confused, in fact i actually got inside a car of similar color to my own recently and spent at least five minutes with a furrowed brow trying to force my car key into its ignition, fortunately, i realised my error before i was arrested.

so, just to humor me, can you all post how long you were/are baptised jw's?.

thank you -- hs.

I'M A NEWBIE! My story...
by terafera in
1. jw
2. experiences
i just came across this site not too long ago and have been reading the stories.

i am filled with relief and at the same time frustration mixed with tears, because i have been holding my story in and not sharing it with anyone, except my husband.

i have felt many of the feelings expressed here but was afraid to say them out loud for fear of being an 'apostate'.
