  i don't eat...

  by highdose in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as i tuck into some very nice birthday cake today i'm reminded at my many attempts at entertaining jw's over the years.

  eventualy i stopped because whenever i invited someone i got told " i don't eat..." wheat, dairy, sugar, etc.

  it made catering almost impossible and that was the rare poliet ones.

  where do you draw the line ?

  by lancelink in

  last night i was talking to my son (24 years old) and he was telling me about his life growing up as a jw, .

  very frustrating for him, he couldn't have friends from school over, no joining clubs, sports, etc - etc.. but a very interesting point was made, and i never thought about it and it has been rolling around all day.

  as morphius said.

  What's with all the 'Imminent' nonsense?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  could it be that the proximity of 2014 is at the heart of it?.

  i have no contact with jw's - except on this board - but my wife does at times with her family.

  imminent is the cry of the sky for the jw's it seems.. i recall the years leading up to 1975 with a lot of that sort of thing.

  so i've been reading this board for a while but never posted.

  so, go easy on me!

  i have a lot of thoughts, but they're not going to be totally clear.. my story: i was dating a guy, not long, but totally fell in love with him.

  [endif] i'm curious about how people who have shifted religious beliefs feel about their own morals.

  has the religion you've chosen made you a better person?
