  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this is from saturday afternoon program.

  the speaker first starts with what he called the "alphabet soup" of degrees....a.a., b.a., m.a., ph.d., etc.

  ; he said they were nothing more than "sheepskins on the wall.

  When does it get easier??

  by jibberish in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been out (df'd) for over a year now and the last 6 months or so have my eyes really been opened to the real truth.

  now i celebrate being df'd, and have i realized i am finally free from the mind controlling stupid cult.

  life at times outside the borg is rough with my new "sea legs".

  I've been studying with JW's for a few months..

  by MichaelM in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been studying with the jw's for a few months and i've attended a few meetings but things are feeling somewhat strange...i don't quite get the jist of things but i feel that i'm learning more of what the watchtower teachers and less of what the bible actually says.. i never open my bible.. i'm always reading the watchtower pamphlets.

  i really like the people i've met in the congregation and the guy thats been doing the studies with me has been an awesome friend.. .

  but i'm just having some issues.. i mean.. they translated their own bible to suit their own doctrines it seems.

  i used to balance my checkbook sometimes.

  another favorite was unsticking the pages of a new bible or folding back the dogears of an old one.

  Disfellowshipping is good for a person

  by Honesty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my spouse was df'd 4 years before we were married.

  within 13 months she was "re-instated" and by the time we were married had almost healed from the "loving" treatment she endured in her "disfellowshipped state.".

  she sincerely believes that her life was enriched by being disfellowshipped because, as a third generation jw she had never "made the truth her own.

  Dating/relationships and ex-dubbyness

  by devinsmom in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  .

  ok, so i allways thought that dating someone who used to be a witless would be cool , since you would both kinda know what the other had been through in his/her life.

  so my question is: how many of you date/have dated ex-witnesses, why or why not and does the relationship benifit from it...and just your ideas about it in general.. .
