  I think I just became an unbaptized bible study student apostate

  i had some major questions regarding 607 bce which directly affect the doctrine of 1914. my teacher, admitting being weak on history, could not answer my questions.

  i started researching and found that the appropriate dates for the "seventy years" were appearing to be 609 bce to 539 bce, the ruling period of babylon.

  this meant that everything i was being taught based on 1914 was in effect, a lie.

  I was looking for a name in a baby names website. I found out that Akira means intelligent in Japanese. I did not know it was an animated film, but I liked it anyway.

  My story: "Pop!" goes the Little Circuit Breaker

  i guess it's about time i write my story.

  i've put this off for a long time... primarily becuase, while i thought my story was bad, i've read so many worse and heart-rending stories here.

  i think, though, there is some therapeutic value in 'letting it all out' with others who know what 'it' was like.

  I did not. I was baptized at 15, but I really didn't understand what 'dedicate yourself to Jehovah' meant.

  jw's view of dress code for women

  by megaflower in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the dress code that the society imposes on the women has been a thorn in my side ( manner of speaking).

  theses old men dictate how a women should dress and i do mean "a dress".

  i can remember when i lived in connecticut and the temp would be in single digits and when it came time for field service you must put on that dress.

  I took a tour in a famous museum. It was a JW's bible tour. When the reservation was made, the 'sister' told us that we must wear clothes as we were attending the kingdom hall. What the h...? I didn't obey the stupid rule, but they complained to my husband about the dress code and me ignoring it.
