  On your way "out" of the WT, did you experience physical syptoms?

  i'm not a jw, nor have i ever been.

  all of the sudden she wants to spend all this time with me.

  of course, lots of what she was telling me about the "bible", didn't make sense.

  You ask a thought provoking question: how many other JWs see it too?

  2. friends

  i've been going back and forth with a jw friend for over a year now.

  i tend to ask question that are not in the "splaining away the scriptures" book.

  of course, i get a whole lot of copy and pasted wt nonsense that usually doesn't even pertain to my questions.

  C.O. Talked about the fact that we may die in this system

  being that my husband is still going to most of the meetings, i tied into the meeting sunday to see what the co had to say on his last day at the hall.

  one thing i found interesting is that we may die in this system.

  he said when he first learned the "truth" he just knew for sure that the system would end before he was baptized and he was so stressed out from it.

  Raising Chickens!

  by jgnat in

  2. friends

  i had another great idea the other day; raise chickens!

  in this rapidly changing recessionary world, i cast my mind back to stories of the depression.

  farmers fared better than urban dwellers.

  i disagree on some doctrine with the organisation.

  yet, i also know these are the kindest,most loving people on earth.

  such people must be guided by the holy spirit.

  Living With Regret - what do YOU regret about being in the org?

  by babygirl30 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  1. getting baptized at 14 and not knowing what the heck i was 'signing' up for.

  2. dating worthless, lazy, no work ethic, selfish 'brothers' who were supposedly approved all because they were baptized - but in the end - were a waste of my time and younger years in dating.. 3. subjecting my bf (back in the day) who was a non-jw to the whole jw experience!

  i demanded that he study, i demanded that he change his religion in order to be with me, i made him sit with my parents and listened to them berate him (and myself) while they fed him all their haughty beliefs and requirements in order to date their jw daughter.

  Wilbur Lingle, author of the new book "What The Watchtower Society doesn't Want You To Know"

  by koolaid-man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the jehovah's witnesses, come to your door with promises of "great love", inner peace, and a utopian future.

  but what are they not telling you?

  wilbur lingle, author of the new book, "what the watchtower society doesn't want you to know" puts in to layman's language his many years of documented research about the inner workings of the society, including the true character of its leaders, the false phrophecies they have made, their strange doctrines and ideas, etc.

  i invited a jw friend of mine to a christian retreat, and she did go.
