well folks, i started writing a big post and then the keyboard acted up on me, so i lost everything i was saying.

first of all amanda was right, this isnt anything i can just walk away from, it is'nt something that i can just put behind me and move on.

this involves my sexuality and my childhood experience growing up in the jw cult.

i'm am so heart broken to see my boyfriend with so many internal strugles.

he is a good man, a good god fearing man and this is why it has been so difficult for him to leave the jw's religion.

we love each other so much and we want to be married but he fears the consequences of marring somebody who is not a jw.

Stuck in a dead-end job because of obeying anti-higher education policy?

did you refrain from obtaining a degree or advanced studies when you had the chance because it wasn't the witness thing to do?

how has this affected your life?

comments, rants, and personal experiences please.

When I hire people education is a factor for any position. My belief is that if you have the staying power for a 4 yr degree, hopefully you get the picture.

Why do the local congregations always pay for the D.O. and C.O. visits?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

every time a circuit and district overseer visited our congregation,the elders always wanted a show of hands from the congregation to see if we would pay for their car expenses and travel.sometimes the congregation would pay for airline tickets.it was always approved.. do you know if the idea came from the local congregations to pay?

did the wts send out letters to each congregation to see if they would pay?

we know that the wts always get what they want.. it's amazing how we paid $250-$400 for each overseer visit and the wts paid nothing..

D.O. & C.O. are the first paid level of minister for the jws whether they want to believe it or not. I wish I could turn my receipts in for my DVDs, CDs Cable, water, electric, gas, and plane tickets to NYC for a nice visit!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The list is endless!!!!!!!!!!!

JUST GIVE THEM THE RECEIPTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe I don't want to live in Paradise

when i was a teenager, and really trying hard to be a "super witness" i remember thinking that if all the wicked people were destroyed, how would this change our everyday life.. what happends to the people that supply electricity, water, garbage collection, gas, fuel for cars, mechanics, farmers, cattle herders, etc.... how would we survive?

if armafoggeten happened in the winter would those in colder climates die?.

i you were on some sort of medical equipment that required electricity, would you die if there is no one a run to work in the electrical plant?.

CT Russell if he stepped from his grave and on to the first class section of a jumbo jet about to land, and upon landing was wisk away to one of the mega cruise ships(>100,000 tonnes) with a caribbean venue, I am sure he would declare this Gods Paridise.
