Interesting Thought about JW's and People Outside the Org
by Mrs. Witness in
1. social
2. relationships
on another thread, aude sapeare said:.

jws make this huge assumption that once you leave the 'protection' of the org, you will go off the deep end and become totally irresponsible, drink, smoke, do drugs and have sex with anyone and anything.. that is what i have been fighting with my husband about for 3 years now.

when he was kicked out of his jw's mom's house when he was 15, that is exactly what he did for about 20 years.

my jw brother-in-law just told me that he heard that bill cosby only uses jw's as servants because they are the only ones that he can trust not to rob him.

has anyone ever heard this?

i'm sure it's not true, but i can't find it on snopes.

2. beliefs
last night hubby told me that his brother (an elder) told him how "provocative" the outline for this sunday's special talk is.

apparently it's something like "who is qualified to rule mankind" and goes on about how government is not qualified.

he then asked me if i'd like to attend (ha ha).

The Door to Door Argument and various musings
by Mrs. Witness in
1. jw
2. friends
hey everybody!

i had it out with hubby this weekend.

i think what set it off was a "to-do" list that he made first thing in the morning that listed all the chores i needed to do under his name and the chore under my name was to go to the kh with him to hear the co give a talk about "why the bible is accurate".

Concrete Reasons for Being a JW (or member of any religion)
by Mrs. Witness in
1. jw
2. experiences
here is a question i've been wanting to ask hubby: "why do you want to be a jw?

" and i don't want ethereal answers like "they have the truth" "everlasting life" and other such nonsensical ramblings.

i am not a member of any organized religion and i don't see the appeal.. can anyone answer the question with a concrete reason?.

The God/Santa Connection
by Mrs. Witness in
1. jw
2. friends
work with me here...this occurred to me last night as i was trying to get back to sleep after waking up with a 2-year-old, so i'm kinda fuzzy.... god supposedly watches everything you do, judges you, then you get the "gift" of ever lasting life.. santa supposedly watches everything you do, judges you, then you get gifts on christmas morning.. sound familiar?.

so, why is it that "god" is real but "santa" is fictional?

hmmm?
