Hello!
by factfinder ini'm new here, this is my first post.
have been reading so many comments from you guys over the past few months and now i can finally comment too!.
it is amazing how long it took me to see that jw's are not god's organization and that their teachings do not really find support in the bible.. now i'm not really sure what i believe.

I just learned tonight that my df'd friend got arrested with No bond on Friday for......
by asilentone inviolating the restraining order his ex wife placed on him.
i am not sure if it is from his first(jw) or second (non jw) ex wife.
how long will it take him to get out of jail?, so i can talk to him again.

Arraignment is usually within 72 hours of arrest. At that time the judge will decide whether to release him or hold him. Also, his attorney will likely petition for bail or release on OR.

Jgnat and Carla.
Look back at some of their threads for some good info.
Jgnat in particular had a series of threads for what she called 'UBMs' - UnBelieving Mates. She started with the premise that to call them 'unbelieving' (in WT-speak) is really insulting because she is very much a believing christian.
Here is a quick link to some of Jgnat's threads:

and her biography presents a way to contact her off this site:

My JW Relatives Don't Call or Write...Is This Normal?
by Cold Steel inthey've been jws for years, but they've never once called, written or seemed to have wanted anything to do with us.
they weren't like this when they were still catholics.
are they told not to have anything to do with non-members, even family?

They are 'encouraged' to minimize contact with worldly people non-jw's, including family. Also, minimize contact with anyone who they feel is not upbuilding toward their spirituality.
Your experience sounds about right except for the part about a JW bookstore. I have never heard of that. Ever.

How squeamish are you?
by Gregor inlets say you are enjoying a glass of good red wine while preparing dinner.
you pick up your glass for a sip and see a gnat floating on top.
1. pour the whole thing in the sink and pour a fresh one.. 2. pick out the gnat and drink the wine.. 3. ignore it and drink the wine and the gnat.. i am a 2. i have done a 3 and it didn't spoil my appetite.. .

A gnat? #2 (MAYBE #3)
A fly or a worm? Definite #1. I once found a fly in my pancake at a local restaurant. Yuck!

I had been lurking for only a few days and was lapping up so much information. Then I tried to click on one thread that was linked from another thread and was denied access. I really, really wanted to see what the comotion was about but did not want to register in order to find out. The thread I was looking for was either in the 'private' section or had been pulled. Don't remember which it was was but I remember the sweaty palms and the excitement as I completed my registration on JWD. At this point, I was a walk-away believer and had only JUST begin to find out the truth about 'the truth'.
Can someone help me? I am denied access to a thread. 'Letter from Silent Lambs' by Dogpatch. Are there levels of access that I am not aware of? I am very interested in following this thread and hope someone can instruct me on how to gain access. Thanks.
