  i got into a discussion w a customer about religion and ambiguity.

  How about those Yearbook experiences?

  by Frequent_Fader_Miles in

  looking back, i realize that the jw yearbook was about the only thing i looked forward to.

  i would usually read it in it's entirety.

  when i became older and wiser, the information in the yearbook seemed so .... well, shady.

  2. friends

  didn't know if this has been addressed before , but it's kinda interesting.

  when we were witnesses we were always told,oh!

  don't look at horoscopes or read anything about your sign because it's demonized !

  Are You Happy With What you've discovered in Life After being a JW ?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my life personally has taken a much more positive turn after leaving the religion.

  less stress to be having nights taken up with meetings droning on.

  lots more time for reading new things on life, hobbies, trips to take, i enjoy cooking for my wife.

  Has anyone found dating as an EX JW difficult?

  by sweetstuff in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  just curious as to what difficulties have faced people dating as an ex jw.

  myself, i have noticed the glazed over look in a guy's eyes when you try to explain why your family doesn't celebrate the holidays with you etc.

  new to this board, so if this has been well covered before, please forgive me.

  Adam & Eve question...

  by tan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  my young daughter asked this question regarding adam & eve:.

  if they were perfect, why did they need to eat from the tree of good and bad anyway?.

  we eat to nourish our bodies, we eat to replenish, we eat for energy....they were perfect and would not need those things.. from the mouth of babes.... what's your thoughts....

  do i go with my gut instinct???(long, im sorry, but i need help)

  by theinfamousone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so, simply put, i am in love... and love makes a man do some really stupid things.... love makes a pretty damn intelligent man feel pretty damn stupid quite often as well... so here's my story... i have been dating this girl for almost a year now... she is beautiful, sweet, and really just everything i imagined in a life mate... she lives with me... she doesnt work, while i do full time, and also go to school... i make very good money, so that does not bother me... but heres where it all begins... a few months ago, she went to cuba with her sisters, and imoved her into my place while she was gone, her idea, not mine.. now we keep our condoms in a certain place.... anyways, her box of condoms was gone, with her... when she comes back, our little box of condoms is empty.... instead of asking her about it, i explained it to myself as she must have given them to her sister.... .

  while i am gone at work, i usually give her a call on my breaks... i notice that she never answers the phone between 6-8 pm.. home or cell... her explanation is that she is always in the shower... the problem with that is that she is always coming out of the shower when i get home.... i get home at around nine... so either she is taking a 3 hour shower or she is taking two showers a night..... she disappears off the face of the earth everytime she goes home to visit her family... like shes not home, shes not answering her phone and only ever calls me when she is in her car....her explanation is that she is at a cousins house.. conveniently, one that i do not know..... last night she went to a wedding... it was over at 11, i know this because she had told me, nd a friend of mine tht was there said that it ended then,,, it was a dry wedding, no dancing... very religious people... i was supposed to meet her at 130 today, i got to the train station that she was coming to, 15 minutes early and waited over an hour there... finally as i decied to walk back home, she gives me a call... i will be home at 5, meet me at the train.... of course, i have been calling her since last night at 11 to tell her i would meet her at 130 as she had planned... i made brunch for her, which is now in the garbage... i was scared shitless she had been hit by a car or dead since her phone has been off since last night.... i asked her why she is so late, i was helping move things until 3am last night... bull shit.. all the gifts were given prior to the weding and the bride and groom had already moved into their new place.... i know because she has told me in the past.....her phone was dead according to her... but all of the sudden, she is able to use it.... no charger, but she can use it..... i did confront her once, and she exploded on me!!!!

  like screamed and screamed and said she was insulted i even asked... textbook defensive behaviour right????.
