  the other day my work partner and i were driving back to the shop after finishing working and it was hotter than hell.

  we see these two mormon boys doing their thing on their 10 speeds with their typical white shirts on.

  they had helmets on too.. my friend says..."why in the hell don't they use cars?

  I remember a conversation I had with a Mormon guy I worked with some time ago. Apparently it's very common for young Mormon men to take up 2years of missionary service, before settling down and generally getting on with things. Do Mormon's have territory maps? Or are they not as concerned with repeticiously p*ssing off the masses by knocking on their doors every 3 weeks? Frog x

  Hi AJN, sounds as though you have a very good understanding of the situation already in your own mind. It's of course very commendable that you're not naturally a judgmental person, but if a particular organisation/person gets enough bad press for long enough, you've got to start asking yourself if there's something in it. Don't need to put your hand in the fire to tell it's hot is all I'm saying:) For starters it's very unlikely that this person, no matter how attracted to you they are, will reciprocate your feelings/expression of interest. You have to realise here that you're dealing with a very sad mind bending manipulative cult. I spose by now you're starting to think that you've come to the wrong place for answers, because some of us can come across a litte jaded after our terrible lifes experiences with the JW's. Really though, the mindsets of JW's all over the world are almost identical, and we here can fully relate to what's it's like to this as a JW, and how it is to think as a stable free-thinking balanced individual, after having spent considerable time deprogramming from the JW organisation.

  If you're a smart cookey, and it seems you are:)...I can only suggest avoiding yourself the pain that this situation will absolutely incur you if you push for something from this friendship. Truth is JW's aren't generally permitted to have even close friendships outside of the JW organisation. All non-jw's are viewed as "worldly", which in jw-speak implies very derogatory and negative things. If this guy does reciprocate you will be dragged through the mud while he deals with his JW conscience. JW's refer to other JW's who seek a partner outside of their organisation as being "unevenly yoked", which basically means you are not on the same level and will naturally fight against eachother. These people are incredibly closed minded, and live their lives in fear of displeasing their god Jehovah, and breaking the very strict codes of conduct. You will realise within time that you have far less in common with this person than you had hoped.

  I'm sure that if you're patient you will meet a more amiable man with qualities which compliment your own. All the best, Frog x

  has it ever occurred to any body out there why jehovah's witnesses are so disliked/picked on etc?

  do you ever wonder why we are the only religion that gets a bad rap?

  doesn't that tell you non jw's out there anything?

  I doubt very much this ignorosis will be coming back anytime soon, naturally they would be too afraid of being contaminated by the truth. What a joke it is with these hit & runners only interested in one sided discussions. Just like all the wittnoids (that we once were) that come to your door, who aren't open to the interpretations of others. It blows my mind after dealing with the WT indoctrination how these ignorants can brandish their programmed crap all over the place and expect somehow that they might twig out jw "conscience". Our heart breaks for you our little hit & run american poster, cause you are so blind and you cannot see...Frog x

  If there's one place an Australian shouldn't go to, it's Bali, Indonesia. The downunder mob will know why!

  Hey ozzie...you mean night club bombings, and life sentences for drugs planted on innocent victims, not enough to keep me away, that's if I had any interest in going there;)

  Hey I talked to a Dub at the door today!

  by FreeWilly in

  2. friends

  finally, the dubs pried themselves away from the coffee shop this morning and 'worked' my neighborhood.

  i saw them coming so i had to decide what topic to discuss.

  well after the intro, i decided to explain, that yes i have read the bible, and i feel the god portrayed in it is very brutal and cruel to his creation.

  Another marriage bites the dust because of JW beliefs

  by unbeliever in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know very few people who have been successfully married where 1 spouse is a witness and the other is not.

  i know there are a few examples on this board.. a couple that i know irl have split after nearly 25 years of marriage because of the stupid shunning shit.

  one of their 3 children got df'd 6 months ago and that is when everything fell apart apparently.

  Sounds like the father is a man that takes his reponsibilities seriously, staying married to a dub for all those years can't have been easy, and standing up for his daughter when he needs it the most.

  Wow 13 peircings Hannah, good thing your not a bucket lol! My only suggestion if not sticking around to endure their condemnation, and punish you for your personal right to expression. I don't think you will bode well inside this organisation which demands strict conformity from its members. Run for the hills Hannah, don't let them mess with your young mind Frog x
