  Darren, cattails correctly states that they "will always use the truth as a hook to reel you in." Remember this: If you don't do as told you can never be fully "in." It's not possible. Now many who are JWs find a measure of peace flying under the radar and doing what they please without getting caught. But they are the "weak" ones who "can never get their act together" in the mionds of JWs. In some congregations they get "marked" and on the "outside." If you're not in, why enter a situation like that? It's very schizophrenic. It generally leaves peole conflicted and chasing their tails when they could be out in the "real world" with all of us making life happen for them. Just some thoughts.

  I'm sure WT has some legalistic argument to use here. I can't see them incurring the wrath of the government without some legal justification however distasteful it might be. One they like to bandy about when calls are made for religious instructors to be vetted is that they don't teach "Sunday school." Or some other folderol which ignores the fact that whether the school is called "Sunday school", a Bible study or something else the law's intent is to vet people who spend time with children. the name of the activity is not important. But I'm sure we will hear some such silliness from their legal and PR people if this case goes public.

  I think there may have been somewhat talented individuals who have left, couldn't take the cultish ways, some may have passed on. Now what's left are the drones who can't bring out that creative writing. I noticed this when I was in some years ago.

  Amazing how they just keep going round and round recycling these ideas while trying to turn understanding the Bible into some kind of a science.

  as we all know that las vegas is about gambling, but not everything is about gambling in las vegas, is there a way for the dubs to enjoy their vacation in las vegas without gambling?.

  Funny, just returned from Vegas on the first leg of my honeymoon trip. My wife who has never been a JW doesn't gamble either. But together we tried one of the airport slot machines. I couldn't help thinking though how JWs and many religious people see Vegas solely for it's gambling. Yet we did the Strip, Hoover Dam, Red Rock anyon, Planes of Fame Museum, stargazing and the Grand Canyon. All are fairly accessible from Vegas.

  For exJW Singles - Would You Consider Dating/Marrying Another ExJW?

  by Broken Promises in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  do you consider being an exjw a hindrance to dating?

  for example, do you find it difficult to bring up in conversation, lest you get stared at as if you have 2 heads or something?

  or you might find it difficult to explain why you've had little sexual experience in the past?.

  I've never dated an ex-JW. I always aspired to having someone who has never been so I could just be normal. In the end I got the ideal. I got married on June 16th to an non-JW who actually studied with JWs. She understands the religion but is independent enough to have never joined.
