I responded but without voicing an opinion. Does that count?

Well, Trev is ill now!
by iamfreenow inat least i don't think so.. he has a flu-like illness and feels pretty awful.
by his own admission, he's been neglecting himself these last few months, and i think with all the stres he's been under that perhaps his immune system is very low.
he looks pretty awful as well, like he's had all the blood drained out of him.. even so, he was going to get on with the things he needs to do today, at least until i intervened.

My first post
by Dianna ini was kind of skeptical about registering or even posting anything on this site but after a long struggle of going back and forth and after talking to a friend telling me that it would be good for me i decide to do it.
i grew up in a jehovah witness house hold.
it all was great a had a wonderful childhood but everything went down hill when i started to have my own opinion on things.

You can't blame The Truth anymore.
by wanderlustguy insomeone related a story to me a couple of months ago over the last few days it sunk in.
there was a time it was so easy for me to get mad and angry and virtually meditate on how the organization systematically stripped me and so many of my loved ones of their lifethe life that could have been.
real love was replaced with a recipe of what love is, putting god first and then defining what the perception of god was supposed to be, to include a group of men directed by a corporation that decides who we can or cannot speak to, as well as who we can or cannot love in the common sense of the word.

Great topic.
The father may have been and may still be a rotten guy, but he did speak truth, it was good advice.

Questions For Those That Entered the Armed Forces After Practicing JWism
by R.F. inwith having so many close to me serve in the armed forces, it only helps me appreciate even more those that serve in them.
i've had 7 uncles and a grandfather serve in the u.s. army, another grandfather in the u.s. navy, my late brother-in-law served for 6 years in the air force right on up to his death earlier this year, and my father also served in the air force in his pre-jw days.. even while being a very devout jw, i still had the utmost respect and appreciation for those serving.
from what i understand after chatting with many of you is that some among us on jwd have entered the military after leaving the religion.

It's not the military but, my husband is realizing his secret lifelong dream of becoming a police officer, attending an academy locally. He is not working, I am supporting us both along with some new debt as a result of school, it is a sacrifice for both of us. Interestingly, anti-terrorism training is a big (and relatively new) part of his training.
Over 2 years ago as we were just on our way into our 'fade', I told my parents that my husband wanted to be an officer, and they emailed back to me, 'oh no! he'll be part of the world that will persecute us, try to stop us from preaching and throw us into prison'
. . .they are not retarded, o no, not at all. . .

Even though you're a JW, I don't know you so back off!
by Younglove1999 indid you ever feel that way when you were in "the truth"?
i hated that people tried to overstep the normal boundaries humans have with strangers and get all "brotherly and encouraging".
when we changed congregations, i found it so annoying when people we barely knew tried to act as if we were best friends.

Younglove1999, your best friend sounds like one of ours who lived 5 doors down from us. We were all friends at first. Same thing: our garage door would open, he walk on down. We'd pull into the drive and he'd call. We'd miss a meeting and he'd call at 10pm (when he got home) or drop in if a light was on. Near the end of him we'd have 4-5 voice messages some days from him (he thought my cel # was our home #).
He moved way back east.
