I'd appreciate at least one person who would want to give it a try. Honestly....
But I can say Honestly no.
LMAO, Country guy.

Would You Really Want To Live Forever With Dubs?
by shamus100 inhere is the hypothetical question of the day - would you, or more appropriately, could you live forever in paradise on earth with jw's?
with the hypocrosy, silly elders, silly people... feeding lions and cleaning up after animals... everyone living by waterfalls, like the jw's always portray in they're psychotic pamphlets..... or would you rather be dead.
i, personally, would much rather be dead.

i am being called an apostate by some at the kingdumhell ,what should i do
by looloo inwhen i bump into the people who are calling me that name i would like to say something about what apostate actually means but im not very articulate (you may have noticed) one lady has said she will be polite to me but nothing else , im not even an ex dub just an ex study so do i actually qualify for that title in the "land of makebelieve"?
i know that jws think they invented the word apostate !

Pull up with the Prince song playing "I'm gonna party like it's 1999...", get out in you're 80's outfit, dance by yourself, speak in tongues....

JW Closet Drinkers
by shamus100 inhow many here have had jw friends that can only have a good time when they drink?
i've known plenty - ones with obvious drinking problems.
not necessarialy alcoholics, but ones that equate good times with drinking, and drinking alone.

I thought that it was just me who witnessed this stuff - that being 'in' with the bad crowd, so to speak. I remember the parties, stage-diving from second storey lofts into crowds at one party. That was not common, but it did happen at one huge one.
It's true - alcohol is one of the few vices that dubs can have, and it's rather sad. I know I sure looked forward to getting 'buzzed', as we called it too.

The site is probably not letting you remote link the pictures.
Sorry, I'm just as computer illiterate. Wish I could help.

How did you build a new life outside of the JWs?
by Sirona in"if you leave jehovah's organisation, where will you go?".
no doubt many of us have been asked that question.
so where did you "go" when you left the jws?

Tyrone,
Venting to a real person is a better way to release that self-doubt. There's never anything wrong with counselling - I highly recommend it. Even if it's just a few times - it gives you a good perspective that impersonal typing cannot.
And I agree with you about this board.

Thinking of becoming a Witness again and my reasons for doing so :(
by reniaa ini've been a faded jw for 10 years i left because of my failed first marriage, i'm no hypocrite and realised i had left completely so i embraced the world and dived in, only christmas and birthdays i could not get into, they were too foreign to me having never celebrated them, like if i suddenly tried to do ramadan or something like that.. 1/ all the criticisms of the people in the truth you say on here, i've found in the world, warts and all only in the world nothing holds them back from being utterly horrible to you.. 2/ i got stabbed by a worldly boyfriend, i got married 2 times of my own choosing to men outside the truth, the first smoked and was an alcoholic, the second gambled every penny we had and defrauded me out of money after we separated, 2 divorces later i am currently pregnant and a single mum since current boyfriend decided kids was to much of a responsibility and he needed his freedom and i was 'too selfish to expect him to give up his life'.. 3/ parents-in-law!
i have been shunned by them as equal to anything you accuse witness families of and for the silliest of reasons, i had a disabled son and his grandparents said they wanted nothing to do with him because they didn't want to become attached in case he died.. 4/ i miss the honest friendships of the truth, i had friends of all ages from 14 to 80 years old and they genuinely cared for me, many trying to keep me in the faith a long time after i left but i was determined to fade so moved away completely, but i find friendships in the world so shallow in comparison and very hard to sustain :( i've never been a drinker and sometimes thats what friendship means you being a companion for them to goto pub with.. 5/ my recent boyfriend was in a christian religion, i thought why not find out about it, harvest churches if you ever heard of them, unfortunately it still hasn't stop him leaving me pregnant and alone and when i said to him how does he clear that with god, he replies "as long as i repent it doesn't matter" it's like he has a "get out of jail free card" for any wrong-doing in the bible, this is so alien to me and my witness trained conscience.. 6/ i recently out of frustration tried looking into atheism and joined their forums, it wasn't fun, they are as bombastic and arrogant as their religious counterparts can be from any religion, they make a religion out of not believing in god, it's very weird they talk of saving people from believing in god and offer nothing to replace it.
they said to me "be happy you are in reality now and enjoy it" and i thought "well if this is reality i've had enough of it".

Whatever floats your boat. If you think it's the truth, then go back to it. Only you know.
I wish you all the best.

I've witnessed many binge drinkers - usually every weekend or every second weekend getting plastered, or close to it. I was usually one of them.
NewYork, it's nice not to have to drink to get through a weekend - I would not say that I had a drinking problem, because I don't ever crave alcohol now, and never want to get drunk. It's amazing how many dubs need that release on Friday night - nothing else to look forward to, really. Pathetic.
