  it's no wonder we did not, could not stay "in the truth".

  we're too diversified, too intelligent, to continue believing the bs!

  i'm glad to have the interchange that we have here..

  Leaving the JW's, is by far, the greatist achievment of my life, I doubt that I will ever top that one, it's pretty impressive.

  I am extremely proud of it.

  Researching an artist...anyone know how?

  my daughter used to own a small antique business.

  someone in her town was going to demolish an old house, and ali was given the chance to take the remaining items before the demolition.

  among the remaining items was a stack of perhaps a dozen or more original pastels.

  Hmm, with a nickname like Vag, I mean VaJ.

  Makes you wonder...

  A friend of mine deals with that sort of thing, she has access to auction records and such, I'll ask her if she'll check out the name.

  Attending my mum's JW wedding

  so i have to go to my mum's jw wedding in 2 weeks.

  it's not in a kh but there's still going to be about 40 jws there.

  apparently it's "widely-known" that i'm gay and some jws have even told my mum that it's not wise to invite me because it will make other people (jws) feel uncomfortable.

  If they know you are worldly and gay they will expect you to behave badly, that's what worldly people do.

  Give them the shock of their lives and be a nice wordly gay person, on some level it will surprise them to no end.

  I remember an uber dub friend of mine that over the years had several casual worldly friends that were gay.

  She never ceased to be surprised at what nice normal people they were and she would comment on it frequently.

  Jehovah does not live by his own rules

  i find it mind numbing that jw's and religios in particular never see this.

  jehovah is the patron god of the jews.

  yet he treats them like utter shit, worse than slaves.

  sinis. You sound like an atheist. I've been hanging out with a lot of them lately and a lot of them are ANGRY with the God of the Bible. They just can't get over the politics.

  Impossible, you can't be angry at something you believe is non existent.

  I'm not pissed at Santa for never bringing me presents, I know he does not exist.

  If I'm mad at not getting presents, I would have to be mad at my parents.

  My JW husband exited about three months before I did.

  In a way it gave me permission to leave too. It was something i never even considered before.

  But after he did it, I realized that it was an option that I had too, so i took it.

  How sheep like is that? I could not even see the open gate until I saw another sheep walk through it.

  Did any of you study the WT lesson throughly without ANY underlining?

  just wondering.

  it makes me think whoever underlines the wt without going throughly is purely hypocritical.

  When they started to insist that you answer only from the paragraph, that's when I stopped raising my hand, it was just so demeaning and insulting to our intelligence.

  WTF?!?! When did that shit start?

  They use to encourage you to eloborate and put thought into your answers.

  Then sometime in the 80's they began insisting that you answer only from the paragraph, they only wanted you to parrot.
