Well, I had a few beers after work Friday - it's hard work being a carpenter (just ask Jesus)! Spent the night at home with my girlfriend, so while she's at work I'll do some housework and Xmas shopping, then maybe prepare our Watchtower's oops, go out to a decent club or have a few drinks with her sister and bf at home....So, in a nutshell: Drinks, sleeping, relaxing housework, shopping, drinking, music, beach............yippeeeeee, no early rises to praise Jeh(so)over(it).

Wifely Submission?!
by freedomlover inokay, what i want to know is honestly how many of you guys out there were actually attracted to the jw's because of the wifely submission thing?
and girls, how many of you actually had issues with the submission thing even when in the org.

I'd say so !! Just don't sit by me at the meeting on sunday, or we'll have to make an engagement announcement If you do however, I must have the outside seat just in case the brothers need me urgently for important privileges such as the mic's or to say prayer I have 5 sisters, 2 neices and 1 mother - none are Jw's so fortunately I had a balanced and normal view of women despite the inculcation of God's Word, lol...

Hi Freedomlover!!!!
I could never agree with the submission bullshit, neither could my sister. I was "courting" a girl when I was in, and we both thought it was shit too - there was no way we were going to have those policies in our life if we were going to get married....Jeez, she even wanted to keep her surname which suited me fine, didn't concern me one bit. Personally, I'm not attracted to submissive, quiet girls - all the women in my life are pretty strongwilled and (thank Allah) can think for themselves

My first time being shunned in public
by xjwms inso thats what it feels like.. i am not df'ed or da'ed, ... i have just stopped going to meetings.
my wife is trying to be as active as she can.. so all morning i am out of my regular routine.
late getting out of bed and late about everything today.. so i leave the house, and before getting to the office, i decide to stop at the mall for a quick, maybe 15 min, walk.. as soon as i get inside, taking my coat off, here is the elder who did everything he could in his power to get me out...and lied...and added to gossip that ran me outta there.. he and his wife spot me .. and turn there heads away and continue on their walk, .. eyes fixed on some thing away from me.. so thats what it feels like.........now i know.

I haven't been disf'd or disa'd, but decided a couple of years ago that "this is bullshit, I'm getting outta this" and left......Why give them the satisfaction of "rejecting me?", or even still-why should I write to them to remove myself, that's just another form of their control-it's what you're meant to do...according to them......
So anyways, I'm back in my home town in New Zealand at the moment (for xmas with Mum) and I've run into quite a few of the old JW's I know.......one was in a cafe, I was there with my girlfriend and I looked across at this guy-it was xxxxx, he was smiling when he saw me and we said 'hi' to each other......next , I saw my cousin (ours is a big JW family) and we had a great chat for a 5-10 minutes; no arrogance, preaching or anything like that, just the family tie...the way it should be !! So I was well impressed, obviously some of the sheep have a streak of black .

JDubs at the mall and other inventive ways to put in "time"
by limbogirl inhas anyone else seen the jdubs at the shopping mall ??
they sit at a table with all of their wares displayed hoping to lure people away from pottery barn and macy's.
i did a double take when i saw this and then had to stand back and observe for about 20 minutes -- what i observed is that no one stops at the table except what appear to be fellow jdubs.

here in sydney, there is an old brother in a wheelchair who has a stand in Town Hall station. Town hall being Sydneys 2nd biggest and busiest train stations. He is there nearly everyday... I wonder if anyone stops to talk to him... I haven't seen that guy before Blakky, perhaps he needs a loud-hailer too! There is an older lady who is at Central Station on Tuesday afternoons, used to see her everytime....before I started using Martin Place........No loitering or busking permitted in CityRail stations; obey God as ruler rather than CityRail.

Satan rides a white horse?
by sinis inhas anyone else read revelation 6:2 and came to the conclusion that the rider of this white horse is non other than satan?
the surrounding context does not support that of the christ, as the wts says.
any thoughts?

Okay LeftBehind, here take some tissues and go to the library so you can let all that pain and hurt out-Jehovah wont let you suffer more than you can bear.....Fuck man, it seems like you need some professional help or counselling.......harden up soldier, the persecution of Jehovah's people is only starting - just wait 'til the UN turns on religion !!!

Did your parents find you dates?
by Virgogirl inwhen i hit 19, and showed no signs of interest in finding a nice,suitable brother for a marriage mate, suddenly there started appearing a few "eligible" brothers from out of town at our sunday meetings.
even stranger, they seemed to be meeting up with my parernts and sitting with us.
stranger still, they had been invited back to our house for lunch!

My isn't a JW and I used to hear all about how the girls at her cafe really liked me and one of them wanted to ask me out..........I was stoked to tell you the truth.....
So although she didn't really find me any dates, she made damn sure I knew that girls other than the dubbo's existed !!!!!
How the times have changed....now no one wants me

A little bit funny Nate, but mostly sad that you were still so consumed with the JW's even after leaving..........all that time spent involved in anti-JW activity, you might've been better to just get on with life and move on pal.

Verbally abused by a JW - why?
by jaffacake ini rang by best mate last night to see if his new job going okay - i had agreed to provide a reference & he got the job.
he said the job was good.
i told him i'd been to my cousin's funeral, which was pretty sad - he was only 46. my jw friend asked me whether i believed the bible to be the word of god to which i replied yes.

You friend sounds mentally and emotionally unstable. If he was swearing and cussing then that is not in keeping with the JW way of doing things. I have to say that JW have a tendency to attract emotionally unstable people though. Saw that plenty over the 30 years as a JW.
Balsam I agree entirely with Balsam, your mate might have some real issues with his own certainty, or may just havesome problems with his mental health...... Its bloody hard not too, but don't ditch him just yet...............
