  Competition Between the Ex-JW boards ?

  by JW_Researcher in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  please excuse my ignorance regarding this.. i posted a solicitation for this little survey i'm doing here .

  http://kent.steinhaug.no/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4910.

  a poster named "queen beetle" got all excited because the title of the survey referenced jwd which she couldn't (evidently) bring herself to type out (using "xxx" instead).. i explained why i named it jwd but...i sensed some animosity (color me sensitive).. do some folks have a problem with jwd?

  This board to me is preferable because it is very active. I don't think it should be a competition to help people and that's why many of us are here. As long as the help is there is what's important.

  we spend about $500 per month.

  that's with a family of three, two adults and one small child.

  included in that is dog and cat food, and other household items many people buy at the grocery store, such as shampoo, detergent, paper products etc.

  380$ last month for two. An additional 500 per year to feed and maintain the koi pond. We have an 1800 sqft vegetable garden to help bring the cost down in the fall and some of the winter.

  There will be a meet up in Sommersworth, N.H. in March. I found this at Meetup.com. The poster left out the time and location and his reply address is not working. Maybe he will post here.

  Judge Brian Walsh acknowledged Ortiz's comments but said they were nothing more than a list of excuses and said he did not hear an apology to a girl to whom Ortiz most likely caused irreparable damage.

  Excuses exactly! I'm against an apology, it's just a way to cause more humiliation to a victim.

  repeatedly molesting the daughter of a fellow church member.

  I wonder if the rest of the congregation feels victimized and have become less trusting of thier own. Probably not, its still good that it wasn't kept a secret within the congregation.

  Do JW's still believe this?

  by ctrx in

  2. experiences

  i remember overhearing a discussion my parents had in the mid 1970's.

  it was about who would be resurrected after armageddon.

  supposedly, those who heard of "the truth" and rejected it were dead forever, but those who had never had a chance to hear it would be resurrected for a second chance to submit to jehovah/the watchtower society.. .

  I dont think it applied to people who said not interested at the door. This is what I was taught in the 60s up to 74.

  My boyfriend is a JW and we want to get married but I want him to get OUT

  by blueday in

  i'm am so heart broken to see my boyfriend with so many internal strugles.

  he is a good man, a good god fearing man and this is why it has been so difficult for him to leave the jw's religion.

  we love each other so much and we want to be married but he fears the consequences of marring somebody who is not a jw.

  They are aware of it, but do we need to feed it to them? If your doing this study for a class, how does posting the results on this board effect your grade? I wanted to participate in the survey, sadly I am part of the five or less group and I can't in good consciense contribute if the answers will not be confidential.
