  I've had a look Diane and I just thought 'who cares'.
  
  We already know the religion is evil, so the occult connection wouldn't be a big surprise would it!
  
  By the way, looking forward to seeing you at the apostacurry. Also have you heard from Scout575 lately, he seems to have disappeared. I pm'd him but he didn't reply.

  All races came from Adam???

  by cyberdyne systems 101 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  was it possible that we were taught that all races came from the same family?!

  when i look back at that idea it seems very awkward and flawed.

  i believe there was some mention of one of the early bible charactors as having darker skin - as though adam was a white man to begin with!

  Yeah my thoughts are : we were taught a load of BS and we actually fell for it hook, line and sinker!!
  
  AS IF that is how all races came to be. Evolution makes so much sense now I'm out of the org and can make an intellectual analysis for myself.

  Should I marry a JW ?

  by curiousabouthim in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i am new to the jw world, not one, but do love one.

  met a man who down to the tee is amazing.

  he is a great man, the only thing i am not so sure about is his "religious" beliefs.

  Just so you know, my sister, a staunch jw, has been very happily married to a non jw for nearly 10 years.
  
  He has made it clear he will never convert and she doesn't try to make him. He doesn't oppose her in any way and occasionally attends meetings with her. He has been completely accepted by her family and she by his. He has also been accepted by her jw social circle of friends.
  
  So it can work.
  
  They have no children though! Through choice and nothing to do with the religion.

  as some of you know about my aneurysm(leg area) last year - well after much persuasion and basically getting my arse thrown into a vehicle i am going for my check up.

  undergoing 3 surgeries and being told i am going to die left and right scared me of going back.

  becoming a jehovah's witness

  by pcecilia in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello all who may read this, i am in the midst of writing a story, and a character who has appeared in the story is a jehovah's witness... i am attempting to gain a better understanding of the religion and its practitioners so as to present witnesses in a fair light... i am of no religious affiliation, but i assume that anything that a person believes is valid as long as they have put it through much consideration and thoughtfulness...

  ) of you are ex-witnesses, but i would like to know about what first attracted you to the religion to begin with... was it just passed down in your family, or did you make a conscious choice to become a witness?

  if so, for what reasons?

  Hi Kent, I was born into the religion and just got railroaded into baptism and marriage to another jw member. I would never have given the jw's the time of day if they'd come knocking at my door, so it was only by misfortune that I ended up in the religion (i.e. because my parents had converted).
  
  I wanted to get out of the cult for as long as I can remember but it's so hard to leave, in spite of what the jws tell you (they say members are free to leave at any time).
  
  I finally got out at the age of 35, so I to feel I had a lot of wasted years. I was disfellowshipped because I left my jw husband for another man, so I lost the relationships I had with my family members and I am completely shunned by all my former friends. That's Christian behaviour isn't it?
  
  I do feel a little bitter for all those wasted years but it doesn't consume me. I am very happy now and pleased that my children have not gone down the jw route.

  Some Unfortunate News due to the Collision

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was at the doctor today for over 6-hours to be tested on the issues resulting from the collision.

  it seems that there are some serious effects that have emerged, which is not uncommon to happen within a short time after a serious collision.

  i will describe them later on, as i am waiting for more test results to arrive.

  Is There Anything Positive About Being A Jehovah's Witness?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i recently went to a wedding and the father of the bride that (re)married a (worldly) man said to me, "the only thing that i can say about raising our kids as witnesses was at least they got a good foundation.

  look at our kids.

  they're good kids".

  Whoops, I accidently hit the enter button!! I can't think of any positives for myself, but I do think that if you are old and lonely you will find friends for company and people that can help you with gardening, shopping and doing chores etc.
