  When brothers don't reach out

  by Sadie5 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  all this talk about privileges being taken away, such as microphone duty, got me to thinking about how some brothers are viewed who aren't reaching out.. my husband would have fallen in this category.

  i got involved with the jws first and looking back i think he just followed along to keep peace in our marriage.

  he (gladly) followed me out too.. when we were jws, it wasn't a priority to him to become a ms or elder.

  Hi Sadie,

  when I was "in" we were desperately poor and my husband was always quitting one bad job for another or getting fired. We took a lot of flack when he was considering taking a job which would have meant that he would miss the bookstudy. It was for $9/hour, FAR more than he had ever earned, full time and had benefits which started after only 6 months... at the time we were trying to live on less than $100/week, had no insurance and got food stamps. I was auxillary pioneering but we were still looked down on because we were poor and our car was always dying so we'd need rides... but we were even more harrassed when we tried to get ourselves to a reasonable income!!!!!

  Thank the Goddess I got OUT!

  Well, I don't want to appear silly.... but you don't even know me.

  How on earth can you call me bad?

  I am a sweet, loving, giving compassionate person. I may not share your religious world view but if I didn't bear the title Ex-jw I betcha I'd be your favorite neighbor! I love everybody and I'm kind to everyone. I even took mags from the sweet little teenagers who came to my door.

  Peace,

  Totally happy in your marriage?

  by Lost Diamond in

  1. social
  2. family

  how many of you are totally, incredibly happy in your marriage?

  how many of you feel that your spouse is your absolute soul mate and you couldn't even imagine your being married somebody else?

  talking with the women at work, i'm surprised at how many are not totally happy.

  I am so utterly happy it almost scares me.

  My sweet vampire is my dreams made flesh. There is no doubt in my mind we are meant for each other. He believes this too and says with wonder; "why do people always say relationships are so much work?"

  WT Attacks Being 'Easygoing' October,1,02 WT

  by ISP in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  should you be easygoing?

  most people would probably feel that it is a compliment to be thought of as an easygoing person, one with a relaxed, placid, tolerant nature.

  however, there is another side to easygoingness.

  Just before I left one congregation to attend another they had a big stupid talk on how dubs shouldn't say "take it easy!" The point was dubs shouldn't take it easy, they should be busy busy busy selling mags, attending meetings, studying and above all converting NEW drones into the hive!!!!!

  SHUDDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  AmBastarders Of Christ

  by TR in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  if the 'hovahs are ambassadors of christ, then i'll take satan the devil any day.. in the years that i've been out of the borg, i've read and verified enough dirt on the watchtower society to make me physically sick.

  it still amazes me to see the 'hovah "mind shutdown" when they are confronted with the facts.

  i actually remeber when i was a 'hovah, my mind shutting down when confronted with a scary question or comment from non-'hovahs who knew something about the wts.

  Yeah, I hear you.

  I remeber my brain cartwheeling around in my head too! What a scary world it was to live in... Satan out to get us and our only protection was to swallow the WT bs hook line and sinker. UGH.

  Jesus seemed like a nice guy, and I was fine with his papa too. Till the jws messed that all up! Now I can confidently say that I will never join any religion again that claims to have a corner on truth. Never again will I believe anyone who tells me theirs is the "only way." So i guess some good did come out of the whole mess after all. LOL I learned my lesson!

  im asking this because lately in the uk 2 girls were murdered that were only 12 yrs old and now 59% population of the uk want the death penalty reinstated.. i assume you already have the death penalty in the usa, but do you think it is effective reducing 1st degree murder and potential child molesters,would you like to see the death penalty removed in the united states or not.. i wonder if the death penalty will be reinstated in the uk what do you think, personally i dont think it will maybe the politicians are afraid they wont get as many votes.

  "Last time I checked......those that were put to death for the mentioned crimes.........never did it again! Oh ya....it works."

  Yes, but the point is it doesn't seem to deter others... it doesn't prevent the crimes... and sometimes they convict the wrong person... more times than I can stomach.

  Well, if the death penalty were an effective deterent to crime Texas would be the most crime free state in the union... which it isn't. I'm not saying that people who commit certain crimes don't deserve to die, surely some DO. But as Gandalf said to Frodo; "Many who live deserve death, some who die deserve life. Can YOU give it to them Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death and judgement, even the very wise cannot see all ends."

  Another thought; DNA evidence has in the recent past proven that a fair number of people, some on death row, are innocent of the crimes for which they were convicted.

  There are some societies where crime is very low. I believe many of them DO have a death penalty. However, I believe that the possibility of death has very little to do with the low crime rate. The key to the low rates is the fact that the socoeties are VERY homogenous. That is, they value conformity highly. In America we value freedom and independence, even rebelion... It is harder to get folks to agree on right and wrong in such a free society. I think there are ways to deter crime even so... but perhaps our greatest minds have not thought long enough about it.

  If the death penalty actually detered violent crime it might be worth it even though some who were innocent would surely be executed along with the guilty. It is a simple solution, really. And it satisfies peoples lust for vengence. But it doesn't affect crime statistics at all.

  Yes, the honeymoon is of Pagan origin. A month of relaxing, having sex and drinking mead would have to be wouldn't it?

  Ah, doesn't it sound wonderful?

  I will be marrying my Sweet Vampire in November. I wish we could take a honeymoon, but it will be a few years before we can afford to do that. Not to mention that our little baby will only be 5 months old when we marry. So, still breastfeeding.. :)

  peace,
