  Ever have something weird happen in meeting, with APOSTATES!

  by free2beme in

  i was at a meeting one time and the elder was giving the talk on "sex and marriage" on a sunday.

  i always hated this talk and the elder giving it always seemed uneasy with such a bold topic in a mixed age group.

  well, right in the middle of the talk, this woman stood up and asked "so, are you saying oral sex is wrong?

  i think it is time to get of the tms schedule, i haven't given a talk in over a year and don't want to be on the list any more.

  do you think the elders would get on my case if i did this?

  is it a wise choice?.

  it took me a bit of reading through some posts to realize that this site is exactly what i have been looking for, for such a long time!!

  people to share my blown away realization i experienced after i quit going to the meetings and went against my mother!

  it feels great to see people who have gone through and felt the same as i and who have taken the steps to change their life.

  Legal Question on forcing the blood issue...

  by SamIam1976 in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i have a question to shoot out there to anyone who may be familiar with the jw legalities with the blood transfusion issue.

  i would like to know if i should put anything in writing to protect my rights as an independant married adult and cannot be forced by the courts to not take a blood transfusion if one is needed to save my life.

  my parents are still very active jw's and they have always fought with me about my rights when anything legal like this comes up.

  How long is too long?

  by Insomniac in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  just a question, for those who might know.

  how long should you hang onto a relationship, when it's becoming undeniably clear that it's going nowhere?.

  i'm so in love, with the most wonderful person i've ever known.

  What kind of Apostate are you?

  by diamondblue1974 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been on this site now for a little while and think its brilliant and its been a tonic in getting things straight and for gathering research.

  (thanks simon & ang).

  in fact its difficult to get work done during the day because of reading posts on here.. a couple of months ago if someone wouldve asked me whether i was apostate i would have flatly refused partly because the indoctrination still has its effect even after a decade and the negative connotation attached to the word 'apostate' is still at the back of my mind.
