come on admit it, if you were brought up a witness you were dead scared that you were going to end up like the men you saw prowling the assembles and congregations looking for wives.. there would always be men and women in there 30's and 40 who had never had a boy or girl friend.. i used to know quite a few.. the horror of their lives shocks me.. now i not dissing anyone who has chosen not to marry that is their choice.but these people i know want to meet someone and get married.. but the bad news is that the older they get the harder it is to find a wife .what makes it worse is that the choice is so limited.. many of these grown men are even affraid of women .

why?.

because they are taught that even to look at a woman is to commit imorality let alone talk to one.. i knew a brother who had never had a girl friend , he was about 26 at the time.now a sister asks to go out with him so he accepts.quite soon she wants to hold his hand.. this brother now tells her off, for in the family book it says holding hands is only for people who are going to get married.. he doesn't go out with such a spiritually weak sister again.. what has the socity done to these peoples lives.. many people who were once happy teenagers hoping to meet the wife or husband of their dreams are now approaching 40 or even older and have never even had a girlfriend.theri only hope is the new system and i don't want to breack the news to them but its not coming.

Gives the term 'wanker dub' a new twist.

Do JW's Actually Believe This Stuff?!?

by Mister Biggs in

this was just forwarded to me.. (we need more comets to help take all of the stupid people away from among us!).

this comes from the branch in canada....... in england one of our blind brothers had a seeing-eye dog that would.

faithfully guide and take him to the meetings each week.

Perhaps the dog would mistake Elder Whoever for a fire hydrant.

Nice guys left in the cold

by Elsewhere in

butalbee started the thread "do looks really matter?

i started wondering about the "nice" guys (such as myself).... it's been my experience that women tend not to go for the "nice" guy who has a lot to offer - big heart, kind, good income, etc.

they seem far more likely to go for the aggressive "jerk" or "rebel" who treats them like dirt.. why is that?.

butalbee

Elsewhere--Most of the serious relationships I've had with men, started out on a "we're just friends" terms. The more you get to really know a person, the closer you can be to that person.

What I wouldn't give to find a nice guy, someone who would treat me like a princess, and be there for me 24/7 without any pretense. Someone who wouldn't judge me or want to change me...once upon a dream, I thought that guy existed, right there before me, but then I realized that I was in a fantasy land...Or maybe I'm stereotyping one horrible experience that consumed my life for over a year. This guy had it all, he was my prince charming, but he was also extremely good looking. What made him even more appealing, is that he didn't even know how hot he was. But in the end he turned out to be a frog.

So my nice guy turned into a jerk.

That's always my luck with men.

JW`s on this site

by Beans in

jw

i often wonder if jw`s on these sites consider them "apostate" especially with regards to many topics?

do you ignore topics that could possibly test your faith?

how do you not wonder about your religion with all the information that is available to you now that proves this sekt invalid?

butalbee

I studied with some of their faithful and discreet slaves[slaves is what they really are] and I've just got to say[I am not trying to be impolite or rude--'to each his own'] everything I was being taught, everything they tried to ram in my skull about their so called truth brought me one important conclusion--"only prisons have watchtowers, and I will not commit myself".

I think my main problem with not being able to accept the crap that they were dishing out, was that I was brought up catholic and as a teenager lived up to the normal 'rebellious catholic' stereotype.

The cross or stake thing really overwhelmed me, confused the hell out of me. And I couldn't understand why we could never study anything with my bible, which is King James, not NWT. And I couldn't comprehend why we jumped verses in the bible like playing leap frog. Most of the pople in the hall were nice[most of the time], but I now believe they were only nice because they wanted something from me, cuz when I started to revolt[go crazy, per se], they were no longer my 'friends', I was seen as an enemy, and a bad association.

And as far as I can tell, the only time when they make a move to [try] to convert me again, is if they see me in a weakened state, if I'm sad or depressed, they are not far behind preaching the truth and bible study, go to a meeting, read the Knowledge book.

Truthfully, I am more happy outside of the truth, at least I don't feel guilt as much anymore, and I am not constantly depressed about the end of the world scenario,[I mean the end of the world is a coming, so why even bother to live today type fear]. I feel no inclination to tread in those waters again.

Anyone who still has a chance of getting out, please open your eyes, research what you are wanting to do with the rest of your life. Look deep inside yourself and ask yourself--is this really my lot in life, and don't listen to anyone but yourself...

Hey, I'm proud to be an apostate.

Actually, I try to ignore topics related to pro-JW--it just gives me a headache.

Beans--I love your site--it's awesome--a real eye opener at the lying, conniving, decieving WT..

She is another active jehovah witness.

So how long have you been an active JW??

Partaking of the emblems

by pralis in

i've always been curious as to the reasons why only "the anointed" were permitted to partake of the emblems at the memorial.

we all know that the wtbts says the "other sheep" are the non-anointed christians who merely observe the memorial (by the way, by "other sheep" jesus was talking about the gentiles that would become part of the new covenant; he wasn't referring to some strange class of non-anointed christians).

they've often compared the situation to the foreigners in the congregation of israel who were not permitted to observe the passover (see exodus 12:38, 43 -- they draw this correlation because the memorial is the replacement for the passover observance).

I'm getting a headache.
