  so when i go out i usually have a cosmo, as you can tell im still channelling sex and the city lol, but... they arent very big so i've started drinking very berry cocktails which are also just as nice but much bigger, yum.

  at home i tend to drink moscato spumante, which is delish too.

  but im looking for new suggestions because im getting a little bored and want to mix it up a little.

  Is it the JW's or the God of the bible you no longer believe?

  i have a question for the ex-jw's on this forum after months of reading the forum..... many say how good it is to be free of the oppressiveness of the jw's that they can now enjoy the freedom to... have sex, celebrate christmas, gamble, embrace politics etc.

  there are still biblical scriptures and principles in place that if you still followed the bible would mean you avoid these things and yet these are now embraced as one of the perks of no longer being a jw so in my confusion i ask.... if these are what you want, isn't it more correct to say you no longer follow the bible as apposed to just the jw's?.

  Hi Reniaa,

  Thank you for your direct reply to my question. I read it with interest but just wished to extend the question a little with your response, and try to see round a little false argumentation that might have popped into the conversation….

  You replied:-

  "My answer is consequences! police will tell you one time of the year they dread is christmas more deaths happen then than any other time from overindulgence, hospitals dread it for similar reasons, Worship is the only word I can apply to Christmas because of one main reason, if I choose to not celebrate it my children will suffer at school...thats something i can't avoid, if christmas was such a lovely good thing nothing that important, I would not be condemned and niether would my kids for not doing it but we will be and that is a fact! "

  I don't quite understand the second part of your answer but what would be wrong with someone who didn’t believe the bible, sitting at home with his family and friends, enjoying the day of Christmas, maybe eating and drinking a little too much, but not to the point of dying, but just to the point where you think that you could have done without that last pile of mash potato….?? If the bible isn’t true then please explain what would be wrong with that scenario…?? (I can’t say that I have ever personally heard of someone dying from overindulgence at Christmas time)…???

  The question on sex seems to be already covered….

  What also would be wrong with someone playing the slot machines if the bible isn’t true…..??

  And what would be wrong with someone voting if the bible isn’t true…??? Would it not be in his best interests if there was no truth in the bible….???

  Looking forward to your reply, especially on the Christmas scenario.......

  Hi Reniaa,

  Don’t fall into the cliché that the society promotes as to the reason why people leave the organisation. Not everyone that leaves them desires to pursue those things that you have listed as ‘perks’ for leaving the witnesses. Some of us genuinely leave because we have found out that not only are the JW’s wrong, even in regards to their belief in the bible, but we have also done extensive studying of the bible since we have left (being that we were not really allowed to look into it as a JW and ask the awkward questions at least) and have found it wanting as evidence of it being what it claims to be…. ‘Gods word’.

  Because some of us see through JW’s and also the bible doesn’t mean that we turn to a life that is without the so called ‘biblical principals’. There are many people that don’t know much about the bible that live more ‘biblically’ principled lives than many professed ‘believers’.

  But to answer your question "is it the JW’s or the God of the bible you no longer believe?" my answer would be ‘both’, and it would be for the reason of studying the evidence more than it would be for the desire of ‘loose living’ as the rest of your comment implies.

  But just to put a question back to you reniaa, if the bible isn’t true, what actually would be wrong with people "having sex, celebrate Christmas, gamble, embrace politics"???

  If I see beggars with no legs and one arm, I'm still skeptical.

  Yeah…… but I bet that when you were a JW you would have given them a Watchtower mag…..You heartless bast@rd…..!!!!

  Conversation with an elder today!

  by Maddie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was at work today and low and behold an elder from the kh i used to go to came in.

  i never got to know him very well but he always struck me as pleasant and mild mannered.

  the thing is i stopped going to meetings over a year ago and am now, as i have already shared, being shunned by my jw son and his wife and can't see my beautiful little grand daughter any more.. i haven't officially dissassociated and not met with any elders but don't care what action they take as they can't do any more damage to me now.

  Psychology

  by billie jean in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  on a recent discussion about my poor depressed father to my mother (both witnesses) i suggested that he should see a counsellor or at least get some help as i was trying to get her to see how ill he's becoming 'mentally'.

  her answer in a very dismissive tone to me was ,.

  " oh no you don't we're not into that, youre not using any psychologist on us ".

  Men lie…

  Women are just economical with the truth…..

  That’s what they tell me anyway, but I am not so sure they are telling me the truth….

  Apart from telling someone once that their ransom teaching made perfect sense…..!!!!

  I used to tell the kids at little school that I was an expert motorcycle racer. I must have been convincing because they all believed it through my school life; I mean, when do you come clean on a lie you said as a small kid….??

  So even into big school they all believed it, although I didn’t elaborate on it by then being I was worried they would find out I was a phoney…..

  I did get caught out mind….

  After I left school I got into racing and at my local race track I bumped into one of the kids who believed my little white lie. Hadn’t seen him for years. I was thinking….. OH Sh*t…!! But what was funny was I had a really good race that day. I got third overall and would have got second if I hadn’t crashed. He had watched the racing all day and it confirmed all the lies I used to come out with when I was at school.

  So I got away with it……
