  dear fellow janitors/ex-janitors:.

  after some nearly 60 years scrubbing away (i started early), whistling a happy tune, i'm turning in my mop and mop bucket.

  my body has said, "no more!

  Are you going to retire or are you going to keep on doing the house-sitting and dog-sitting? I have to say I love being retired.

  1st POST: A romance with a JW

  by myangelface in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am not a jw ...however i began having bible studies (i d call them watchtower studies).

  i was beginning to get lured in and brainwashed into accepting the religion as the true religion...but something inside of me told me there was something odd.

  some time passes and i was invited to a meeting and i accepted.

  Read the stories of other people on this forum who dated/married JWs. It just isn't going to work, is it? For one thing, if he is such a spiritual JW, why is he interested in you at all? He should be running the other way. So, a little lack of integrity there. And, later, when he decides he'd rather be a JW than be with you, it will all be your fault. I grew up JW, and so I know what I'm talking about when I say that JWs are screwed up in a major way and you are just asking for heartache.

  Unless you don't want a future with him and just want to fool around. In that case, go for it. Why not?

  i choose the user name to hopefully try and identify my past while working for future changes in myself.

  ive been in and out since i was a kid.

  I think most of us are happier for being out of the wtbts. Making friends takes a while. You can't stay at home and be a hermit. Get out in the community, do interesting things, meet people. I started making new friends where I live when I got involved in the community garden, for instance.

  Good Netflix shows to watch

  by Simon in

  in the long winter nights you need some good tv shows to watch while you wait for the eternity between seasons of game of thrones.. we've watched marco polo (pretty good) and have just started watching orange is the new black which is not at all what i imagined (didn't know it was funny!).

  house of cards is on the list too as we've heard good things about that.. anyone have any others that are worth seeing?.

  Troll Hunter is hilarious, there's another one that I think is called something like Rare Export that is a very similar sort of funny. Similar sense of humor -- though a different kind of story -- to Lars and the Real Girl.

  Experience in a talk

  by Da.Furious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  last week we had an elder giving a talk, cant remember the title.. the thing that was of interest is the experience he gave:.

  "a brother who was working in a hospital had to leave his job which was paying him good money because the nurses wanted to sleep with him and they kept putting notes for him on his desk!".

  this is not the first time i hear similar experience.

  Well . . . Once I got out of the wtbts and into the real world, I found out that a surprising number of JW men were dating "worldly" women at the massage school I attended. Married JW men. I was in a different circuit, so these men didn't know I was a JW. So interesting to hear these stories.

  I personally think that if a person is going to screw around, being a JW is no impediment.
