Open relationships, polyamory and swinging
by techdotcom in
1. social
2. relationships
has anyone else, after leaving the restrictive rules of the jw world, tried having an open marriage, joining the 'lifestyle' of the swinger comunity?

we've been doing that for about 4-5 months now and it's been an interesting experience, in fact it's been a major distraction from the hell of rebuilding our lives outside the religion and our base of friends.

No Sex In the New System - It's Impossible
by mentallyfree31 in
1. jw
2. friends
fyi:.

if you think through the jw belief system, we would have to renounce sexual relations forever to get into the new system.

jw's believe that those coming back in a resurrection will not be married or given in marriage.

Top 10 reasons why JWs don't have the truth - please contribute
by oldlightnewshite in

i thought it would be an interesting exercise to ask everybody on here what their 'top 10 reasons why jws don't have the truth' actually were.

maybe we can see some correlating views/patterns/ideas that may help us de-programme the newbies that come on this site.

if eventually most people have an outstanding gripe/concern it'll help everybody understand the ex-jw mindset a little better.

Our Kingdom Ministry 2009 tells sick & infirm NOT to view telephone hook-up as convenient alternative to being personally present at KH!
by LUKEWARM in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i am feeling sick after reading the question box - it's so cold and unfeeling toward those who use the telephone to listen to congregation meetings.. .

the wts desire to control their weakest members - the infirm and chronically ill - by guilting them into "putting forth the effort to be personally present " at the kingdom hall is disgusting.. .

they are heartless bastards.... ________________________________________.

Should DF'd people talk to other DF'd people??? YOU be the judge...
by slmdf in

2. beliefs
ok all... i was in a store looking for bedroom furniture and in walks this former elder with his new woman - they too are shopping for bedroom furniture.

he got df'd like 5 years ago so he has no idea i'm df'd.

recently, i've been thinking about how, when i got df'd, i would sit in the parking lot of the kh waiting for the meeting to start, and so would other df'd people.
