has anyone been in the position of losing scriptural grounds for divorce?.
what forgives a guilty mate?
a. kissing.
when you are at your lowest ebb. when you need love and affection. when the person that you still probably love, deep down, is offering a familiar, warm pair of arms to hold you.
when you secumb to a natural urge in a moment of emotional weakness.
then you have to stay with the cheating, beating bastard for the rest of your life and only have yourself to blame.
excellent way to ruin another life governing dudes

adultery (sexual relations with a married man); after all i was a prude as an active jw.
i never thought i would do such a thing.
lolbut really - it still kind of gives me shivers saying stuff contra-borganisation
real sins - i was pretty sure i might dabble in most of them 'cept the illegal ones like killing and stuff.

speaking as someone who believed it all right up until about a year after i was df'd i just cannot understand the reasoning of people who don't go out on field service, don't go to meetings, don't participate or believe and still stay in the organisation.. i know that it is hard to leave, it's made to be hard, but some of the postings on this site make me think that it must be harder still living a lie and keeping up the pretense.. if you don't believe, why would you want to conform to all the petty rules and subject yourself to men that you don't believe have any authority.. i really do hope that as soon as possible you can all take a deep breath and finally be true to yourself.. zaphod
hey, i'm just a straight talking country girl.

i have had my heart ripped out by remaining "out"
the people that i love most in the world are still "in"
and, believe me, i know how hard it is to stay away.
i am not judging others, just trying to understand how they can deny something so fundemental to their own health and well being. and maybe just encouraging them to think about it.

this one guy, an elders son who never got baptised had a penchant for witness girls.
he loved them cos they were always so wet.
i'm sure his daddy would have been so proud of that.

tonight i heard one of the most cruel and twisted comments i've ever heard at the platform.
the topic was the apocalypse and whether or not children will be slaughtered.
through one side of his mouth, the po stated that the bible is not clear on the matter, while out the other side he pointed to all those old testament accounts where children were killed.
i would really like you to draw me a picture, shizm.
it might be more clear and lucid than your specious reasoning.

a young brother was df'd for having sex with a young single mother with a young daughter who was studying with the congregation.. she got pregnant and they married.
she suffered with mental illness.. the brother sexually abused the young girl.
he was reproved but not disfellowshipped even though he did not go to the police voluntarily and at first denied the abuse.
i suppose when you're in an organisation that has a rep for protecting peodos (thereby protecting there own ass) and persecuting consenting adults, then child abuse can look like the best option to some sick bastards.

dear donald
i went back to college aged 30 and will graduate with a ba hons degree in a couple of months.
as i studied and opened my mind to new thoughts i discovered the real reason why the jw are so anti higher education.
it develops free thinkers who ask questions. i wish that i had done it years ago. all those wasted years.
