Can You See Thru A Phoney Poster?
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
are you able to tell the real from the phonies?

i see some posters that automatically raise suspicions because of how they state things.

others, after reading what they have to say over a period of time, show their true colors.

Platonic Friendships....
by diamondblue1974 in
1. social
2. relationships
there are some conflicting views on this subject; when i was a teenage jw i was friends with someone of the opposite sex and we were the best of mates...nothing sexual, no attraction in that department at all but it was frowned upon by those in the congregation (as you can probably imagine).. my ex wife never believed a man and woman could be just platonic...hence no longer with her...but..now being somewhat older (and a teeny bit wiser .

what do you think though, do you think a man and woman can be just friends and more importantly has this view been changed since leaving the jw's?.

hi people!..i have a serious question.and i often wonder have anyone one earth thought this way too!

why when there's a funeral the preacher always say..."got called his son or daughter home.i went to a family funeral,not this relative lived a bad (with a capital bad) life.the family knew it.he was evil,hateful,treated people wrong,yet the preacher said he's gone to heaven...so i'm now thinking then what the hell!..is hell for.no matter what i always hear the preacher say that person is gone to heaven...i asked my brother-in-law,why don't anyone say ...this person is in hell(since hell is suppose to be a place for the sinners)are the preachers afraid to say that around the families?i'm confused!

Head of the house? Who?
by upside/down in
1. jw
2. friends
i have read in different threads, comments to the effect of married dub males as being despotic, tyrannical lords of their domain.

and i'm sure in many istances this is true.

i had never heard of men (family heads) referred to in such terms before i became a dub.
