14 years later- still a wreck! What's up with me!
by doffy in
1. jw
2. experiences
the listener said on an earlier postyou've been out for awhile, perhaps your insight will help some of us who are still in the exiting process.

which was a lovely thing to say, and made me feel 'valued' (thanks listener!).

but, you know, 14 years on, and there are times, when i feel like i just left.. i took the children to the pictures yesterday (to see 'wallace & grommit').

People who are mad at jw's. Should be mad at the bible?
by What_is_ur_point in
1. jw
2. experiences
the bible is a serious book.. and the bible is a set of instructions set before mankind.

i believe being disfellowshipped the second time here makes me feel upset.

it would make anyone hurt frustrated or mad.

i was at a meeting one time and the elder was giving the talk on "sex and marriage" on a sunday.

i always hated this talk and the elder giving it always seemed uneasy with such a bold topic in a mixed age group.

well, right in the middle of the talk, this woman stood up and asked "so, are you saying oral sex is wrong?

If I have an apostafest...will you come?

ok. i feel like i'm the only one on this discussion board who hasn't met at least one member.

so i figured it was time to open my door and invite ya'll in for some southern hospitality.. i live in horn lake, ms which is about 35-40 minutes from memphis (depending on traffic).

so you can use that to gauge how far you are from me.

1. jw

does anyone else find that many, many jehovah's witnesses pick and choose which rules they want to follow?

my boyfriend's parents are jws and i have many, many examples to share with you!

i'd love to hear if any of you have known of similar type things, or if you know any other rules that jws commonly break.

1. jw

just wanted to pop in and say hi.. i'm from the uk and have made quite a few ex jw friends.

we have met up a few times, and it's great to be with others who understand (my sense of humour lol!).

i have been df for 14 years, and in the process became the black sheep of the family ( a familiar story).

by AK - Jeff in
1. jw

anyone notice what i am saying.. is it a lack of posters at the moment?

or has a social-evolutionary change begun here that is changing the board forever.. just seems like nothing is going on most of the time now.

maybe just me.. jeff

i work for a large corporation and if anyone else does, then they might understand what i am saying .... .

Tarot Cards

i own five tarot card decks, and use them often.

not so often that i live my life by them, but enough.

one deck is one i use more then others, as i feel more of a connection with the cards.
