  remember the mass demostratiions with the members of the catholic church, how they took to the streets to expose the priest for child molestation in boston mass?

  remember how sucessful they were?.

  i remember when i was a jw child in the 40's, going with my parents to demonstrate with placards in front of the churchs, signs that said " religion is a snare and a racket" .

  I know the feeling mama,

  I'm a mom of 3 boys, all had Asthma (2 outgrew it 1 still has it). Nothing breaks your heart more than when your child is sick.

  Having her sit on your lap will make you feel better as well as making her feel better. How old is she??

  Views of worldy folk as a witness

  by fifi40 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i bring this subject up because personally i dont get it.. i have noticed that some posters use words such as 'evil' or 'stinking goats' to describe the view (either their own adopted view or that of the jw org) they had of worldly people whilst a jehovahs witness.. the reason i find this difficult to understand is because i never felt that way toward 'people of the world' whislt being a believer of of the teachings of the jw organisation.

  and i didnt pick up on it being rammed down my throat by the org either.

  now i wonder if i was ignorant of something, not paying enough attention or if it is just each individuals approach toward life that makes the difference.. what were your views of 'people of the world and why?.

  I never brought into the whole worldly, goat labeling. I always had non-jw friends and I'm glad I did because I'm still friends with them today, every Jdub I was ever friendly with is no longer in my life (my choice not theirs, I shunned them first )

  J-Guy,

  I wish you the best, and please keep us informed as to what is going on. The one thing I've learned from being raised by JW's is that having unconditional love for someone, anyone is far greater that anything else.

  I personally feel that here on this site there is unconditional love, friendship and caring - so don't worry!!! I know it's a hard thing to let go but the way we were raised is not how life really is.

  Take care, be strong and I'm sure we at JWD will be here for you!!!

  Not aJW, but have a question

  by roseybarb in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i hope it's alright that i post a question, even though i've never had any affiliation with jw organization.

  i have a friend who has been trying to convince me for years to study with jw.

  i've been doing alot of research on jw and was just wondering if people here would be kind enough to tell me why they have decided to quit their affiliation with jw organization.

  Hi Rosey, welcome to the board,

  I was 18 when I da'd myself, but long before that I decided that as soon as I was 18 I was out of there. Being raised a JW comes with a lot of abuse, physical and mental (some even sexual).

  I new from an early age that this was not a place I wanted to be!

  Don't jump into this cult, hang around here and read other posts and get a feel for what this org is about.

  Any positive experiences with the JWs?

  by greendawn in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  we all talk about our negative experiences with the jws and no doubt most were negative but weren't there any positive experiences with some of the few decent jws around?

  i recall an old jw who was of the anointed and who was very benign, knowledgable, supportive and opposed to much that the dubs were doing especially the lack of love among the congregations.

  also another very good natured dub who would always reward me whenever i gave him a little help with his business.

  Yes, 1 of the 2 JW's i dated before I turned 18. He was and is a very sweet person. Good mind for business, but is very naive and gullable. Will believe anything he hears (I guess this is a prerequisite for the org), anyway, we ran into each other about a year ago and have kept in touch by telephone from time to time.

  He never talks about the org to me unless I bring up someting (negative of course) but he's very tolerant of my being critical. Maybe he's on the fence????

  JW's ruin your sex life?

  by NYerGirl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after a year or so of being a "lurker" (since i know some of you despise that word, say, instead, window shopper?

  ), i finally signed up.

  for the last week or so, i've come to the sight every day and i've learned a lot and also remembered more than maybe i wanted to.. so here's my issue: i've been married for 1 1/2 years, together with this man for 5+ years.

  NYergrl,

  don't get too caught up in the I don't likes, or "that's dirty". Experiement with your spouse, the most important thing I think is to be open with your partner about your feelings. Don't be afraid to try new things if only once.

  Get a book on positions and try new positions as opposed to "oral", maybe just need some new positioning.
