JW walking away: Lurking on this board and reading so many other experiences has been very helpful too. I didn't know why I had left at first except that something didn't feel right but by reading

I think that is the whole thing so much emphasis is placed on pure doctrine and End times that what is lost is the pure

expression of love for God and fellow man as brothers and sisters. Putting all your hopes and dreams on hold to a future

perfect bright day ! Your heart and mind must flow together not one following the others lead. It's an individual journey enjoy

coffee-black,

Each time someone stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope.
- Robert F. Kennedy

Sometimes that ripple turns into a wave like your grandson, good for him & immense pride for you !

Thanks for sharing an upbuilding story of hope !

Goodbye to JWD ... hello to JWN !

by Simon in

as i announced some time ago, jwd as it is will not continue .... ... but .... it's clear from people's comments that they do like the site and many would like it or something else like it to continue.. one issue was the forum software that was self-developed and not really in a good state to hand-over to anyone but i've been working on that and can now reveal the first release of what will probably be called jwn (son of jwd):.

http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/.

it is still work-in-progress so not all features are enabled yet but it will allow you to browse the site in a similar way to this one and it is pointing at the same database (although because of the way the caching works, new posts made on this site won't appear immediately).

This is NOT good news !.... It's GREAT NEWS !!!!!! ........ !!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah, The Note Book. What a movie.

by LouBelle in

you know if someone said to me that they just had to be near me... it is a brilliant love story.

i'm not really into huge romance stories but now and again, i wouldn't mind it.

ah, only but a dream.

How about a clip http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=S3G3fILPQAU

This movie seems to be postcard perfect, a lesson straight out of the director's guide to romantic movies. Boy meets girl at a carnival, love from the other side of the tracks, a date by the water, etc. And yet the wonderful thing about this movie is that it takes what seems like a story you've heard already (at least in bits and pieces) and still moves you deeply. It really speaks about love in a way that most romantic moviesmiss by speaking in cliché or over shoot by adding in numerous complications to dramatize things. There have been other great movies to comment on love in recent years (Eternal Sunshine, Lost In Translation jump to mind) but this movie fills a need that those other movies miss: the need for a straight, sweep you off your feet romance. Too bad there can't be movies like this every year...

A positive review

I think the movie reflects women of the time period it depicts, as well it gives lessons.... negative outcomes can then in turn

teach you things for real life lessons !

Promiscuous or sexually free?

by brunnhilde in

so i'm 37 and i've only been with one man, my ex-husband, in my entire life.

i just started a new relationship with a wonderful man but i'm fighting the preprogramming that comes from being a dub for 35 years.

how have other people overcome the inhibitions and issues that come from the ridiculously rigid sexual mindset of the wtbs?

There are many varieties and degrees of love. There is simple acceptance, deep affection, erotic love, passionate commitment and friendship. Each requires a specific environment in which to mature. For stable love, we need a little of each Sexual love cannot prevail alone.

.The love we must search and pray for, is a love that will reach to the person beyond the mask and make inquiry at the heart of each situation. This kind of love is not content with masquerade or hypocrisy - it thrives on honesty. http://www.wordworx.co.nz/SSlove.htm#Bandage_for_broken_hearts_
