I wanted to take my 1,000th post here at JWD to thank Simon for managing this forum for the past several years. It helped me greatly during my exit, beginning about 3 years ago.
Without a place like this to vent, collaborate, and question, I may have never been swayed to leave the JW's.

Congrats.
Enjoy life. For as Bill & Ted once said to Socrates:
"Dust, Wind, Dude."
Life is short, live in the moment. -

Sexless marriages
by Mickey mouse ini've heard of a fair few sexless marriages in the borg, probably something to do with the fact that if you're raised "in" you'll have a pretty skewed view of sex by the time you finally get to do it.
so if someone is trapped in a sexless marriage, from a jw standpoint they could get an unscriptural divorce...but...that doesn't leave them free to remarry??!
seems pretty sadistic really.

What was your congregation's Theocratic School "Written Review" like?
by juni inhey everyone... what do you remember from your experience w/written reviews?.
did you correct your own paper or did you pass it to someone else?
any other details?.

I did the best I could on them. I never prepared.
I remember our KH was deathly silent during the "Review". People seems happier on those nights. Probably because we didn't have to sit through more subpar 3rd grade level speechs about the Bible anymore.
Ah, memories. -

CRINGE.....Neighbors assumed we were all JW's.
by restrangled injust ran into a neighbor across the street who was one of the few for obama in this neighborhood.
we got to talking about it and he says "i thought your family were jehovahs witnesses!
" turns out my kids told him that almost 15 years ago after their grand parents moved here.....i'm still cringing but glad i got that straightened out!

Another reason I like Obama
by looking_glass inso you know how everyone is chatting up that obama promised the girls a puppy.
well during his press conference the other day he said he wants to rescue a dog.
i know one of his girls is allergic to pet dander, so they need a hypoallergenic dog .. but the fact that he wants to adopt a dog to me indicates that he is a man of the people.
