do any of you remember the wt putting those words in print ?.
i remember when i read them that i thought "they don't give me a hard-on", now, slow dancing close to a lovely lady, that was different,.
i was pleased to see her !.
Another Witness, who regretfully had to be expelled from the Christian congregation because he became swallowed up in the disco experience and committed all forms of fornication, later acknowledged: “It’s a jungle. Even if you go there with your wife and want to enjoy a little dancing, she is undressed and raped in the minds of the men there even before you get her out on the dance floor.”
LMAO! I thought that was a parody but looked it up on the CD-ROM and it's right there!
to all the posters on this board, your thoughts, experiences, and research have helped me more than you can imagine!
until recently i was a true believer of more than 50 yrs.
as my name implies, i am third generation from both parents going back to the turn of the previous century.
Welcome, from a fellow 3rdgener. I love these posts from longtime JWs.
It gives me hope that one day maybe my parents will wake up too.

on this forum, i have carefully read most of the experiences of those who left the jw religion, i have even read experiences that have dated back to 2001, i have read the different circumstances surrounding their exits and what ensued upon leaving.
for the majority, i observed they are better remainning in the religion than leaving.
what benefit is there to strain family relationship because you want to be free?, please tell me, of what value is that freedom?,.
Mickey Mouse - you dont know me, do you?
I don't know if I know you personally or not. It's one of the inherent problems on a forum populated by anonymous posters - anonymous due to the nature of the CULT they belonged to.

Maybe I would be better off with my faith in the WT in tact. Yes I was deluded and my faith was based on fallacies but at least things were OK with my family.
Wait a minute, wouldn't that also apply to people who left other religions for the WT and lost relationships with family?

Mankkeli and NRFG, I think in your cases you should take your own counsel, leave this forum and stay in the organization.
Just be sure not to tell anyone you frequent apostate forums.

i miss fred7777...he was one helluva an apostate.
though his time here was brief he will not be forgotten..
i mean tv soaps.
i remember for a while they were a sign of a deeply unspirtual person ... all that time that could have been spent door to door instead!.
Yeah I do and on that score the WT did me a favour. I kicked that habit and it was a waste of time.
