i'm writing for some advice from former jws.
my family is christian, and my 15yo daughter is "dating" a jw boy.
(the quotes are because they aren't old enough to actually go out on dates... they consider themselves bf/gf and have hung out and gone places with each other, but always with parents, family, etc.
Just a couple of observations: JWs are only supposed to date "with a view to marriage" ie not before they are of a legal age to marry and not as a social activity but quickly expected to commit or end the relationship. Secondly they are not permitted to date/marry non-JWs. It is highly likely your daughter's boyfriend's family are unaware of the relationship.
The only way he could legitimise the relationship, and even then it is frowned upon, is to get her to convert and get baptised. Beware!
i’ve long been interested in the death of dr david kelly – i bought norman baker’s book and i recently bought a book by miles goslett on the topic.
in his book, norman baker mentions danny casolaro.
he was a freelance journalist who, like dr kelly, was also ‘suicided’.. i’ve just been watching part one of a two part documentary on casolaro’s ‘suicide’ … and am fascinated with the parallels to kelly’s death.. prior to their deaths, both men were involved in highly sensitive matters – kelly had come forward to a journalist to blow the whistle on the blair government’s sexed-up dossier; casolaro had been gathering information on underground activities involving the us government and the cia.. both men were found with their wrists slashed.. there were certain discrepancies in both cases.
Although the reasons for the order of the hit were different, a BBC documentary suppressed for nearly 40 years has just been released about the Jeremy Thorpe scandal https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b5y97j Well worth a watch.
hey guys, so now that i’m pretty much atheist and i’m not scared of demons or supernatural things, or bring them into my house by watching movies or reading books about them lol, i defenitly want to watch a few scary movies.
i’ve always loved scary movies, but as witness, you don’t get to watch many since they need to be pg-13 and have no spiritism in it lol.
does anyone have any suggestions?
The Conjuring and The Ring are two more recent ones I like. I'm not into gore. For classics The Exorcist and Psycho have to be seen. The Thing (original) is one of my all time favourite films. I love John Carpenter films, The Fog and Escape From New York are classics IMO.

It's ridiculous the way they try to spin what is by every reasonable definition contraction as expansion. I see tithing in their future.

... and this time it was mine.. mrs. eden decided to part ways and leave home, and so our 25 year long partnership is now dissolving.
.
just another colateral damage in a long list of colateral damages from being raised in the "truth".
Sorry to hear that. I remember others going through similar after both partners left the org.
i remember an elder questioning a woman who had admitted to giving and receiving oral sex from her unbelieving mate.
he asked her the most intimate questions which clearly flustered her.
interestingly, she “confessed “ to the elders because her conscience bothered her.
Said by my dub brother following a natural disaster :
"these mass causality things often seem to happen in countries where there aren't many JWs, makes you wonder if Jehovah's getting a head start on Armageddon".
Me:
roll call for the benefit of newbies and lurkers.
in one sentence tell why you left the org.
not 2 sentences.
I learned it wasn't "the truth".
w5 on now in canada.
taking about the arc.
and other things.
