Condoning child molestation and domestic violence is the reason I left, and it still bothers me.

Would you have left if b-days and blood were okay, and DF-ing was rare?

Hello all
by Theredeemer inafter many years of visiting this site off and on since its inception i would finally like to throw in my two cents and opinions into the mix.. first of all, i am a born in, baptized at the tender age of 9. although i totally disagree with allowing someone at that age to get baptized, i will say that i was very imformed and i knew my dogma!
at the same time, though, i was aware of many inconsistancies with many of the beliefs and practices of the jw faith.
i was adopted by my grandparents since i was 2 months and they had been jws since 1950s.

Sorry to be posting so late, but welcome to JWN. As you go out and live your life as a free man, the anger you feel over the losses as a jw will lessen.

I found this quote in a biography . . .
Friends and family, questioned about Ridgway following his arrest, described him as friendly but strange; the same man who went door to door for his Pentecostal church

Sizemik, thanks for the info. I read several bios, but none of them mentioned his religion.

The second paragraph under the heading "Adult Life" says:
Friends and family, questioned about Ridgway after his arrest, described him as friendly but strange. His first two marriages resulted in divorce because of infidelities by both partners. His second wife, Marcia Winslow, claimed that he had placed her in a chokehold.[7] Ridgway had become fanatically religious during his second marriage, proselytizing door-to-door, reading the Bible aloud at work and at home, and insisting that Marcia follow the strict teachings of their church pastor.[3] Ridgway would also frequently cry after sermons or reading the Bible;[8] though Ridgway continued to solicit the services of prostitutes during this marriage and also wanted Marcia to participate in sex in public and inappropriate places, sometimes even in areas where his victims' bodies had been discovered.[3]

To shave or not to shave? That is the question. A fun subject.
by TotallyADD inwhen we moved up to pa back in late april the first thing i did when we got here was to grow a beard.
not a full face beard just around the mouth beard.
i love the look but my wife although she thinks i look good with it does make me look older because it is grey.

Why not shave the beard to please your wife and get a piercing or tatoo to rebel against the Watchtower?

Oh, and sorry for not writing you, Jamie--I was distracted once I got home, and a little obsessed with trying to fix the computer. Let's hope nothing screws it up again. I hope I can print stuff at home once more. Maybe I can scan something I'd been meaning to send you quite soon. We'll see.....

Oh, oh, what is it? I think I knw what it is and I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHA!!!!!! I knew it!!!! Vindication!!!!! I'm really sorry all of you are going to be dying soon as I'm sure this marks God's great and fear inspiring day is near at hand, but as an elder appointed by holy spirit I'm SURE I'm going to be OK! IT is a tragedy but I will remember you all fondly, and I'm deeply sorry that my efforts to restore you all to god's favor was unsuccessful. BTW, my panda, which I am sure I am soon to receive now, shall be name "Bruce". Bruce and I will silently and privately mourn you all.
I thought a super fine apostle such as yourself would want a lion, tiger, or ohhhhhhhhhhh, a bad ass black panther with amber eyes, LOL!
