  They've been comin' around the neighborhood

  by BlackSwan of Memphis in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  and they caught me at home a couple of times.. a couple of months ago, two nice, very young men (teens) came to the door.. my dog was barking, my older one was walking around without clothes and all i could think of was "i'm soooooooooooo not up for this today.".

  so, i said "yeah, uhm, i'm an apostate.

  " the big grins dissapeared and they walked away.. the other day, my bathroom plumbing is getting rerigged and there's a ton of stuff going on, i'm dripping wet from the pool and two woman come up my drive..

  I agree Memphis-

  People that acted crazy only reinforced my religous ideals. I never behave that way when they come a' knockin.

  Can you think of a positive thing the JW's gave you?

  by Greensleeves in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is something that will possibly piss off a lot of people.

  i left the jw family i was raised in when i was 16. i had a lot of angst and just wanted freedom.

  i spent some time in my early 20's reconsidering that decision to leave jwdom and came back to the decision i made at 16, but was more logical and informed that time around.

  -Comfort with public speaking

  -Skill at coming up with funny skits (that's all the 5 minute talks for sisters were)

  -(Not sure if this is positive), but my fear of Jehovah kept my out of trouble.. like drug use, pre-martial sex, etc.

  -A sense of community

  -The ability to question religion

  Do black Americans claim Obama as one of their own?

  by digderidoo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was watching an interview with a black american recently about barrack obama.

  interestlingly he said that black americans find it hard to claim him as one of their own.

  he said that black people would much prefer to have someone who is from the stereotypical upbringing of a black american to be the presidential candidate.

  I don't claim other people as my own except for maybe my husband.. I pretty much own him. I am voting for Barack, not because he is (1/2) Black.. but because he's hot. Let's get our priorities straight people!!!

  You Don't Want to Tell People About Jehovah?

  by cognac in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  told hubby that i won't go out in service because i believe that the preaching work was already done in the 1st century.. he said "you don't want to tell people about jehovah?".

  i said "no".

  i also said that when we move i have no intentions of going back to the kh.

  Promiscuous or sexually free?

  by brunnhilde in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  so i'm 37 and i've only been with one man, my ex-husband, in my entire life.

  i just started a new relationship with a wonderful man but i'm fighting the preprogramming that comes from being a dub for 35 years.

  how have other people overcome the inhibitions and issues that come from the ridiculously rigid sexual mindset of the wtbs?

  I say: do him! All this "take it slow" stuff is overrated in my opinion. Sex can be an emotional event, but it certainly doesn't have to be. Have fun but protect yourself against STDs and pregnancy. You say he's terrific.. what's holding you back?

  Oh and as for my JW baggage.. well.. I got over it real quick. I was a bit of a slut in my early 20s and it was WONDERFUL!

  Are JWs allowed to declare bankruptcy??

  by navytownroger in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  has anyone known or heard of baptized jws declaring bankruptcy?

  if so, wouldn't that amount to 'stealing' from the businesses or persons they owe money to?

  when you incur a debt, isn't there a legally-binding 'promise' that you will pay back what you owe?

  My father the elder and mother the regualar pioneer declared bankruptcy and nothing happened. Of course when people do that, I'm sure they don't shout it from the rooftops..
