  New Memories?

  by wanderlustguy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am finding the more i research and the more i ask questions (mostly of my mother, an ex jw), i seem to find i am remembering more about the past than i used to.

  i can't help but wonder if anyone else has experienced this, and does it get more intense as you continue to learn more about the past?

  most of mine are from when i was young, 15 and younger, is that normal?

  First post

  but weirdly enough, i've been mentioned here before, when one of my posts at lj (about whether or not subjection to the organization is relative) caused a bit of a war among ljjws.

  i found this forum googling my username, actually.

  i was wondering if anyone here has any theories as to why it is that, the more meetings we skip, the less we want to go.

  The Aftermath - Relationships After JW Life

  by wanderlustguy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a significant other now...she was raised babtist and is very strong in her beleifs.

  one of the difficult parts is that very subject, since i have no need to be "saved", and can very handily offer an abundance of reasoning as to why i could never trust a "preacher" to help me learn how to live.

  ironically though, it is because of her i have started looking futher into what i beleive, basically looking into everything to determine what is true and what is fiction.

  How long before wireless internet is everywhere?

  by dh in

  2. friends

  for you people interested in the internet and technology, how long do you think it will be before we have wireless internet everywhere?

  when the net is as freely & readily available as air, all you need do is log on, from anywhere... how long do you think... five years?

  ten years?

  this is the story of my last bout as a witness.

  i read a report in a science mag recently,.

  it said that males who ejaculated more than six times a week in their teens to late 20s were less likely to get prostate cancer.

  godalmighty - does this mean that being good boys now puts us at risk??.

  What's Right about "Right?"

  2. friends

  hang on, folks.

  if a) is true then god is arbitrary: anything he says is right, is right.

  so you admit that gods decisions are purely arbitrary?.
