  I need your help responding to my old JW friends email

  by student1 in

  2. friends

  hello guys, todya i recieved an email from an old friend of mine within the jdubs... he did the usual jdub thing get married really young and as such we lost touch.. he since found me on facebook and has been bugging me about my decision to leave, i talked to him a little but his mind is completely closed and irrational so i was having little success saving him from the cult and as sich i decided to end the call.. by saying "your happy and i'm happy so lets leave it be and aggree to differ" - however he wont let it rest this is his email: any help in responding would be most appreciated!!

  ps... how ironic that he should mention george orwell when he lives within a cult that epitomizes the 1984 book!!

  seeing as you never botherered ringing me back or texting i thort id email you.. .

  I wanted to be a photographer for National Geographic and/or an archeologist. I love learning about different cultures ancient or otherwise.
  
  I can completely understand what you mean. I've recently decided my second (third?) career is going to be a Maritime Archaeologist. Truly fascinating, though it means I'm going to be in school for some time.......

  Okay, so what is the significance of 1975 ?

  by Gregor in

  2. beliefs

  it obviously meant something when it was officially referred to for 9 yrs.

  i know they deny that they implied it would be armageddon, so ok, then what was it all about?

  have they ever brought it up again?

  More importantly, 1975 was the year I was born.

  I wanted to be a firefighter and Maverick, from Top Gun. I loved Backdraft and thought the volleyball scene from Top Gun was the epitome of coolness. I know, not exactly unique among little boys. Years later, however, I was playing volleyball while attending Fire Academy for USMC Crash/Fire/Rescue.....dogtags and all. I remember stepping back, checking out the lovely bikini-clad ladies checking me out, taking a deep breath, and being the happiest man in the world. I may not have been the epitome of coolness, but I sure felt like it.

  Horrible Apostates fall into Jehovahs Trap

  by Jim Dee in

  as you guys are probably aware, the new watchtower for studying has shed new light on the generations issue (ie whoops we got it wrong, we were right before) .

  the co's here in aus have been briefed to inform the congregation (either formally or informally) that is is part of the cunning of jehovah .

  when jesus parted the non beleiver disciples from the core 12 (or was it 13) he made an outrageous statement and watched the weak walk off - thats exactly what jehovahs organisation has done today .

  I suppose the cunning of Jehovah used children as lures to weed out the pedophiles as well.

  Walked away in '98, remained 'inactive' for 3 years until I was DA'd for joining the Corps. Interestingly, the last congregation I attended was told I had disassociated myself....which I suppose in effect I did my joining the military, though this wasn't mentioned. I wasn't notified (not that it would have made any difference) but found out through a friend.

  Could an EX-JW Dating Site work?

  hey!

  since the "in" and "active" jw's have their dating websites, what about us?

  at the moment, i see myself, at a future date, feeling most comfortable with someone with a similar background, someone who understood the issues left over from the experience of being a jw.

  LOL. Is there anything more pathetic than fishing for PM's? I think not. Ah well, what can one expect after being rejected by every Eharmatchsinglesdate.com on the net. Maybe my new bride will finally arrive in the mail today and explain why a ticket from Moscow costs $25,000.36. Cash.

  What concerns me about all these PM's being traded back and forth at such a prolific rate is why I haven't received ANY!! Jerks.
