  How many here have left the org because of this board?

  by mrsjones5 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i ask this question because saki said this in another topic:and i would assume that a lot of people on this board left due to this board alone "proving" the lies of the wts.

  so, it this true or false?

  or is this mostly true or mostly false?

  What Are Unwritten Rules & Understandings That "Good" JWs Will Adhere To?

  by minimus in

  1. jw

  jt, made a very good point in a different thread regarding how witnesses follow unwritten rules and understandings.

  for example, a witness may shun you----even though you're not disfellowshipped or disassociated.

  because they know you're leading an immoral life or that you smoke.

  Why does the trinity matter... or not?

  by drew sagan in

  1. jw

  here's what i'm putting out there.

  every jw has a list of teachings that they know 'prove' they are the only true religion.

  while they turn to many things in order to prove their points, i have noticed a special tendancy to turn to just a few things in the end.

  Getting Hitched

  i just want to share this with you all.. a few weeks ago, trev (dedpoet) popped the question, and of course i accepted, so we are getting married!!

  we have been busy getting things started since then, hence the slight delay in posting our news.

  we aren't in a particular hurry, as we have no desire to have children.

  Local JW elder can't be bothered to fill in the blanks

  2. friends

  i go through the press releases for a local media outlet.

  in this morning's batch was a "post-convention release" from a local jw re the "deliverance at hand" convention at the cow palace in sf last weekend.. .

  it's a template from the wts, but this bozo didn't fill in the right blanks!

  the iranian executed a 16 year old girl by public hanging for violating "chastity" laws.. and you wonder why the israelis fight these sort of people?

  I came home to find my wife crying over THAT article.

  by jambon1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i came home today to find my wife crying whilst reading the 'when a loved one leaves jehovah' article.

  its been a good few months now and i can appreciate how she feels.

  but it just irritates me how my disagreeing with this religion has such a catastrophic effect on our everyday lives.
