  Hello, I am new here...I think!?!?!?

  by Kero-kero in

  hello everyone.. i am new to this forum...at least i think i am...i swear that i joined before and left a message...but maybe i was just dreaming.. anyway, i am, what seems to be termed in this forum, a fading jw.

  my wife is still a jw and when i try to talk to her she will go on about me becoming an apostate, but i have learnt so much about the wtbts these last few months that fading and leaving is so easy for me now.

  i know that there is a lot of hate and false stuff said about the wtbts but also a lot of things are true, like the famous ngo business and being a shareholder of a company that produces parts that are used in weapons.

  Who is the "Queen of the Apostates"?

  by booker-t in

  there was a post in the past that listed ray franz as the "king of the apostates" to flip the script who would you nominate as the reigning "queen of the apostates"?

  my nominee would go to joan cetnar.

  but to be honest joan is such a nice person that i had the pleasure of meeting at a ex-jws convention.

  Have you been rejected by your JW children?

  by AlwaysSeeking in

  it's been a long time since i last posted, but something recently happened that is making making me heartsick... i just learned that one of my children is engaged to be married.

  all of my children are grown up and when they reach around 18 years old, decided to become jws.

  they were quite young when i left the organization, shortly after which my wife and i separated.

  Hi alwaysseeking. I have three daughters that shun me, and also have grandchildren that are 20 years old that I have never seen. And they have the nerve to call themselves Christians. I have one grandson and two grandaughters 19 through 21. Fortunately I have othe grand children that I have a great relationship with. How long does this insanity go on.

  They look at the roof shingles to see how old they are and their life expectancy..

  Check basement or footings for cracks

  Check heating apparatus for age and efficiency.

  Windows for drafts and heat loss.

  Chimney for cracks or deterioration.

  Brick work or siding condition.

  Driveway condition.

  Insulation

  These are the main things checked, because they can be expensive to repair.

  HOW DOES YOUR COUNTRY COMPARE W/THE U.S. W/TAXES AND HEALTH CARE?

  by juni in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the u.s, 1/3 of your salary/wages goes toward taxes.. also, we have various state sales taxes on certain "luxury items" such as t.p.

  in wisconsin it is 5.5%.. in 2004, 28% of americans had no health insurance.

  presently, 40% have no health insurance.. .

  Canada is probably about the same in taxes. We do not have a national health system it is mainly provincial. I believe in Ontario we have a decent health system even though it has gone down hill in the last few years as we are paying for certain services that used to be covered. Being a senior citizen my drugs are mostly paid for along with hospitalization and doctors visits, which is much lower than in the US.

  What was the first thing Adam said when he set eyes on Eve?

  by ballistic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  according to the bible he decided to name her "woman".

  in the previous verses he had been on an exercise to name all the beasts of the field and birds of the air.. personally, if i'd been wandering around a paradise garden on my own for years naming animals and suddenly set eyes on a perfect naked woman, i think i would be inclined to invent the first swear word.. although later, when eve gave birth, adam said it had been "with the lord's help".

  so maybe he wasn't quite as spontaneous as i'd imagined, or maybe adam thought god was serious when he said she was a "helper".
