what have jws got against beards ?
by looloo inand it really used to annoy me that jesus and john the baptist both had such neat and well trimmed beards in the watchtower literature , how unlikley would that be in reality ?
also they never wore a suit so why do "true christians "have to wear one , is all about appearences by any chance and giving a false impression ?

Good one Mrs Smith... That should get them thinking (if only they were capable of thinking... )
BTW - I hate to say it, but I tend to agree with them on the beard thing... to an extent... Goatees and Stubble can be sexy, but beards like John the Baptist and Jesus dont do anything for me!!!

TV progams that must be not be viewed at all costs
by TooBad TooSad inthe elder giving the public talk a couple of weeks ago told the congregation that there are more and more.
movies and tv programs, like charmed, or books and movies like harry potter that must be avoided at all costs.
because they are a direct link to demonism and spiritism.

Any TV program or movie that we watched that had even a hint of the spirit world in it was banned by my Mom... to this day if I see anything like this I can imagine Mom's voice in my head saying " this is demonised - turn it off quickly". Imagine her horror if she had realised that my first housemate when I moved out was a girl who practiced wicca...ooooohhh
I remember a family in our cong that weren't even allowed cartoons - even the gummy bears were banned in their home!!!

Lou,
I went to the UK on a holiday about 3 years ago... we went in December and we stayed at my sister in law's home in a little town called Woking.
We travelled a little - we went to Bath, Oxford and Brighton, and visited friends who live just on the border of the field where the Glastonbury Fest takes place...We visited the queen for tea at Windsor Castle (well she wasn't in residence at the time, but I had tea there anyway!!!) I bought Chedder in Cheddar (which I snuck through customs back to SA)
We did lots of day trips to London. My sis took me to the ballet at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden. We shopped (well window shopped, rather) at Harrods and drank champagne at Harvey Nicks. We went to the Saatchi and the Tate Modern and the National Gallery... We saw a Dali and a Picasso exhibition. Hubby and I got lost in the rain in a really dodgy part of London trying to find Highbury so that he could see where his beloved team plays football. We took a big red bus tour. I had dinner with George Clooney at Madame Tussauds...
Oh geez - I loved the UK - talking about this makes me so nostalgic. I just want to go back back back... there is so much more I want to see and do and I would absolutely love to try living there!

How many DF'd and DA'd ex-JWs still believe it's the truth?
by Nellie ini just got off the phone with my sister-in-law.
we don't talk regularly at all - but today the discussion turned to our beliefs.
she's da'd herself 15 years ago, but she is still filled with guilt over not being able to live up to the standards of the witnesses.

When I left, I left for various reasons - wasn't fitting in anymore, too stifling for me etc, but for at least the first few years after I left, I believed at least subconsciously that it was me at fault.
In the latter part of the last ten years, I have felt less and less like I was wrong and when I found JWD I realised fully that they were definitly not the "truth"... the fact that they are a mind control cult that is lying and deceiving their followers is so obvious... but even now, I still get little stabs of guilt, every now and then - I guess the stabs are more like pin pricks than knives as time goes on?

What was it that "clicked" w/ you that this wasn't the "true religion"?
by cognac infor me, it was not being able to prove that people were going to be resurrected to earth... i'm still not sure of the answer, but for some reason that just started this huge, fast snowball of different things that i couldn't prove... .
this lightbulb just went off in my head... .

As a little kid I used to wonder just how it was that JW's knew without a doubt that they were the only true religion - I distinctly remember asking my mom and I dont really remember what she said but she got so mad at me. This question was always at the back of my mind me and I really resented being a Witness kid.
When I got older, I resented the fact that my parents didn't make provision for me to go to varsity after school. I went through the motions, but I can honestly say that my heart was never in it.
When I got to age 18 or 19, I really started to fade - I guess they would say bad association and all that. Having met a wonderful guy and fallen in love and he not being accepted by my family and friends was also a catalyst. At that point, I just left... I moved out of home and never went back to a meeting.
10 years later, I discovered JWD and realised that my childish question was not a stupid one and I wasn't alone...
