hello friends!.
you know, i have been inactive now for about a year.
and so many of my so called friends now have nothing to do with me.
Hi Vita,
You have answered your own question.
I've wanted to scream out the same things during the many years that the Jw part of my family has shunned the non dub part. most of the time I just try to let it go.
The WTS says the Devil is evil? They need to look in the mirror and see who really is.
Hugs

education was strongly discouraged among the witnesses.
i am curious as to how many of you went on for further education and in what fields.
i will go ahead and list the ones i already know.. larc - advanced degrees in organizational psychology.
I, like Msil have a Masters from the "School of Hard Knocks".
Having a college degree is a great thing (wish I had one)! But being smart, talented, and wise does not necessarily come from going to school.
lifes experiences are a great teacher.

i am an active jw and was raised as one.
i have been watching the site for a while and thought it could benefit from the opinions of someone who is happily a member of the jw's.
i will not get into any argumets that lead to nothing except name calling, and will not talk with anyone who is just plain mean (plenty of them in here).
Hi Scum,
You seen like a nice person. Ultimatly, I hope that turns out to be true.
I have a hard time writing to you and being nice because my family has a crack down the center of it as big as the grand canyon. All do to the teachings of the WTS. Do some research and tell me your feelings on the Sept 15, '81 Watchtower's stance on how to treat family members who are not witnesses. Not your witness opinion, but your heartfelt feelings.
I'm glad you have come to the board and am looking forward to your comments,

highway to heaven.
a 45-year-old woman who was killed as she walked onto i-55 near sherman, ill., in october was revealed to have been a member of a jehovah's witnesses breakaway group that believes they should test their faith (much like snake handlers do) by standing in the middle of traffic.
a few days before her fatal demonstration of faith, she had been pulled to safety from the same highway as she attempted to proselytize to drivers zooming by.
What a sad story.
It finally came down to that for that poor woman.
Puffy, my Mom would have been willing to do that too. She would have been willing to die for those undeserving bastards. Glad I'm wiser than her.

in my never-ending task of trying to get my niece out of jws clutches, i have good news.
just a brief history.
my lifetime jw mom raised my niece from the age of 9 due to my sister's alcohol and drug abuse.
April,
You did all that work and hopefully its paying off. I'm happy for you and thanks for letting me know whats going on.
Thinking for yourself is hard when the cult has a grasp on you (even if its not a tight one). I hope your niece keeps it up.

recently, i was taking part in a discussion about women and how a lot of the ideas about women came from the bible.
as we discussed this, it seemed most of the stories were negative, with the only exceptions being ruth and esther.
negative references include references to eve, jezabel, deliah, divorced women, widows, and lot's wife, were fairly frequent.
The Bible is a book written by "MEN".
They throw us a few crumbs in the book but in general we are made to look like what they want us to. Something inferior.
They are all made in God's image...and we were just an afterthought.
need I say more?
No wonder I am an agnostic!
