  One of the great things about being out is the difference in the kind of friendships you have; I have people in my life now to whom I can confide just about anything.
  
  With only one exception in all my years among the Witnesses™, I always felt guarded, remaining at a superficial level of friendship because I feared somebody might take what I thought aloud and go tattling to the elders™. Especially after one District Assembly™ where they hammered home the idea we were responsible (read; bloodguilty) if we kept someone's "secret sin™".

  In love with a JW, HELP!!!

  by secretlove in

  14 years ago i was a sophomore in high school and fell head over heels for a senior (we'll call him mike) who wasn't really in to me.

  i was raised catholic and he, a jw.

  i wrote him lots of notes, sent him teddy bears and tried to win his heart.

  Every time I would ask him what he was thinking he said, " I can't say or it might get me in trouble."
  
  I say run. If you are unhappy in your marriage then move on if you need to and find someone who can be open and honest and share their heart fully with you.

  Jehovah's Witness skating parties were da bomb!

  by PaNiCAtTaCk in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  was this just a local arkansas thing or were jw's everywhere getting jiggy at the skating rink?

  we used to have awesome skating parties and witnesses from 150 miles away would come sometimes.

  or sometimes we would drive that far to go to one.

  Yep, every other Sunday or so way down in So. Oregon we skated until the early 1980's when the elders™ started making noises about big parties getting out of control.
  
  When they took away the skating rink, we took to the dark, isolated woods to hang out...

  Another JW article about child abuse

  by Finally-Free in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i don't know if this has been posted yet, but i found this on the watchtower web site.

  as usual, it falls far short of meeting the needs of child abuse victims.

  while it mentions the possibility that an abuse perpetrator may end up in prison, i saw no statement advising that child protection authorities or police should be notified.

  they put it on the parents to protect the child no matter what the cost... unless it means reporting a dub as the molester. Then it's better to "wait on the big J"

  What were you disfellowshipped for?

  by Kristofer in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i recently had a discussion with a witness friend (i'm a secret) and she claimed that witnesses only get disfellowshipped for being unrepentant for immoral acts.

  i am curious to know from those who have been disfellowshipped, what was it for?

  I hope he spent a lot of time knocking on doors, that way when his face is splashed all over the news, people will recognize him and start asking the hard questions when next a dub comes totheir door.
