  My hat's off to you again, Blondie. Thank you for the post. It is extremely informative to me. I need information such as this to prevent my mind from becoming confused and wanting to go back to the Witnesses. I have to keep the information that I am finding out now on this forum close to me to stop myself from doing something as stupid as that. By the way, what is this about the WBTS now publishing its materials as Jehovah's Witnesses instead of Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, if I understand you correctly. How long ago did this happen?

  Dan, the intense craving did decrease after about three weeks; but, there was always a mild craving that would manifest itself throughout the day, even though I felt so much better physically. This mild craving led me to think I could smoke just one to satisfy the need. Therein was the downfall, like any other addiction.

  Trevor, what you described is exactly how I felt and was disfellowshipped for when I voiced my feelings.

  Are you sure you're not my alter ego?

  Dan, good luck. I am a heavy smoker and have been for many years. I know what you're going through. I quit once for a year and started back again. The craving never left me. Ever tried the Nicotine Inhaler? That worked for me (at least for a year). It is initially expensive though!

  I recall that I would read in the Watchtower and Awake magazines how so and so found out he/she couldn't be one of Jehovah's Witnesses if they smoked so they just threw all their cigarettes away and never smoked again! Never a mention of any kind of withdrawal symptoms. Noooooh. They just did it because they were so dedicated! What BS! It made me feel inferior and spiritually lacking because I could never do it. However the time I did quit I had been disfellowshipped for years. You can do it, Dan. Got more guts that I do.

  ok we have recently had some people starting threads about the bethel couple and watchtowerfarm.org.

  of course if this is a fake, then we have to wonder what is the motive behind it.

  i may be looking into this too much but i looked at the 2 people who started posts on this subject.

  apologies for non-jws & non-christians, but this is a quiz for my newly baptised jw friends.

  any jw guinea pigs willing to try it out before i hand it over?

  the bible alone (ideally the nwt) should be used to test your answers.

  CYP, if I had gotten a letter from my UBM like you wrote your wife when I was a JW, I may not have let the marriage disintegrate and left him.
