hello & welcome too. I was a very long time lurker too. I have family that would be hurt by my completely distancing myself although I haven't been to meetings in years . I can relate to how your husband feels. behavior learned over a lifetime does not quickly disappear.

My Introduction
by bgurl81 ini've been lurking on this website for quite some time, but haven't quite gotten the strength to post until now.
for obvious reasons, i cannot reveal my identity.
although my "family" nows that i am no longer a witness and celebrates holidays, they still have "hope" for me.

Witness owns Flower Shop-advertises-sells birthday-holiday arrangements
by Thechickennest ini have been away from the organization long enough not to know how this family is allowed to sell and profit from selling birthday and holiday gifts.
as far as i am aware they are active jw's.
they do a lot of advertising on the internet specifically for all the holidays and birthdays that jw's are not supposed to be involved in to the best of my knowledge.

I have to agree with OTWO here. far too many JWs we all know are far too dogmatic and slavishly follow every "suggestion" or "counsel" of the WTS as absolute gospel. too much straining of the gnat in my opinion. while this florist should be aware that his/her actions could be viewed by many as reproach on jahs name it is unlikely these same pharisees would put food on the table if they did not participate in such highly seasonal businesses. I'm sure valentines and mother's day are huge for them. .... good for them IMO. if more JWs were more tolerant of other's decisions I might NOT be.... -Not Feeling It.

sounds like a lot of hooey to me. there are SO many non subliminal messages in print. why bother with steganographic art? you can see anthropomorphic images all over, even in nature if you want. just my $.02.

How did you find this site?
by truthseeker init seems as though an age has passed from discovering this site seven years ago to where i am now.
just before we started studying the daniel's prophecy book, i went online to see if anyone had made a study bookmark with the dates and paragraphs on.
i "stumbled" across this site, way back in 2000. of course, like a good christian i pretty much determined that this site had gone apostate from the other jw sites, such.

"Bad" songs at JW weddings
by B_Deserter inwhen i was in my teens, jw weddings were quite the social affair.
of course, the music was strictly regulated by the elders.
somehow though, in each wedding, someone managed to get the song "you shook me all night long" by ac/dc into the dj's rotation, and all of the "bad" witnesses would have a blast dancing to it.

This just caused a crazy flashback for me.
I was at a wedding for a JW girl I went to school with. She had a band at the reception. At some point they played "Sex Machine" by James Brown. Crazy funny. Nooooooooobody danced. Classic stuff, really.
Can I get a "what! what!?"
