when was this released? i hadn't heard about it. now there are only american indians in paradise...weird....LOL. the WT is good about becoming whatever they need to be to try to attract people - they come across as having one intention, and too late you learn about the man behind the curtain.

share on the first visit?
i am ready to explode!
!.....i am tired of the apostaphone and the double life....i feel like a cheat and haven't even gotten to!
well i'm certainly not going to give advice on how to deal w/ the wife...but i certainly will wish you the best and hope you can work things out. i loved my wife dearly and even though we no longer had 'jw-life' to share, i still loved who she was at the core of herself. if you still feel that way about yours, i hope you can reconcile the religious differences.
still hoping to catch you next time i'm in NC...take care!

when i got home from work this evening there was an awake in my door.
as i skim thru it, i notice a comment on page 29 under from our readers, "what does the future hold for christianity.
ss from the u.s. wrote that he/she believes that the jw's just love to tear down other religions, yet .
yeah - i remember reading that QFR and thinking BullCrap!!! You read the JW only Watchtower now and there is a very clear and defined - we are right, everybody else is wrong mindset - and if they try to tell you differently they are evil! How they can get off writing - we don't think we're better than anyone else just to try to appease Joe Blow is beyond me...

so- thought i'd start a thread to see how life is treating you folks !
let's talk about anything you want .
we will let the direction of the thread take it's own course !
oh well, pick up my shovel and start moving shit.
lol - awesome - i think i'll make that my life motto! :)

so my move to a new city is now complete.
it comes at the expense of losing my wife and my life for the past 30 + years - i still somehow feel at peace.
my wife cheated on me.
thanks purple - it was nice chatting with you as well.
And SF - a cold beer always works!

i never thought we'd be here.
after a long discussion last night, my wife now wants to know the 'other side of the story'.
what made me leave.
That's all I wanted from her. I can't imagine how after finding out the truth about "The Truth(R)" she could still want to believe in it
yeah - i had hoped the same. i even presented the info in the manner of these are just some things i've discovered and that are leading to my self-evaluations - and i want you to understand why i'm making the decisions i am - i told her i had no intention of trying to change her thinking and was completely able to let her have her own spiritual growth as she needed to and hoped she could respect mine. alas that wasn't the case - due in part i think to a lot of pressure from her parents.
but - every situation is different and the fact she is asking is a positive sign. she may just be asking so she can try to refute them, but you never know if something will catch her interest like something initially caught yours, mine, and most other people's on this board.
again - best of wishes - especially due to my situation i pray for every other person in a marriage to be able to get their partner out safely.

What's up flipper! My move is complete to Jacksonville... both pros and cons. I have a new life in front of me and I'm happy my opportunities are expanding. I know nobody here though, so part of me yearns for friends to experience life with. I'm opening up more and more on this board - someone could probably read my posts and figure out who i was if they knew me easily enough. I find I don't worry about it much anymore. Either people will accept me for who I am - which is a great person regardless of religous denominational affiliation - or they won't. I'm happy with who I am becoming.
Just thought I'd share..hope all is well with you.

congrats on your wife's openness. i'm not offering any suggestions since my presentation of information to my wife led to her leaving me...but good luck w/ yours.... i truly hope she'll open her eyes when presented w/ facts.

alright, so i'm reading on this site, and i'm not 100% sure what it's about.
it appears to be a bunch of former jw people bashing everything they can get their hands on in relation to jw's.. .
i was brought up as a jw, but when i got older and started to think for myself, i began to realize that i didn't agree with their teachings.
Welcome Blasty.
I'm newly out after being in 30+ years; basically raised in it. I came to the same conclusions you did that no one organized religion holds all the answers. I also have to deal w/ family and friends that can't open their eyes to a more accepting God. I think God expects certian things from us but gives us some leeway as well. Feel free to PM me or click on my name to get to the links to my posts and story. Best wishes in your journey.
