  Feeling Unfit, Fat and Unhealthy

  by cantleave in

  1. social
  2. physical

  a semi-serious request.. i hate exercise (yes i am an indolent slob), i sit in an office or a car most of the time and eat and drink too much.

  so my new year's resolution is to lose weight (about 3 stone would be good) to try and prolong my life a little since i ain't got eternity in mind anymore.

  i am looking for fun ways to get fit, or an effective home based diet programme that has worked for other people.

  Why do Ex-JWs start celebrating pagan Christmas?

  by DubR in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hiya guys and gals.

  im not trying to be self-righteous but i want to understand the thought process of someone who knows the origins of christmas, but starts celebrating it (putting up christmas tree, exchanging wrapped gifts; repeating merry christmas to everyone they see in the month of december)??

  it seems very silly to me (imo) after knowing how and why christmas was created (to cater to pagans sun worship and convert to christianity)!!

  For all dog owners....One happy dog!

  by restrangled in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have resisted buying a dog bed, just because they are too expensive.

  i can slap together some old blankets, sheets etc., and pile them up, and the old boy will happily lay down on them.. today at sams wholesale, i found a bed for $29.00 with a zipper so i can wash the cover.

  it was a monster to get into the car, stuff in the back seat, and it obstructed all vision.

  My 16 year old son is starting to see the light

  by vivalavida in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  on march this year (2009) i dad myself from the jws.

  of course, it was nice to finally feel free, real free, after over 40 years of mind control.

  i don't write much here but i feel this is worth sharing.. one measure i took before leaving was to take my then 15 year old son for a walk and explain to him that things would be different from the jws standpoint, but that i would always love him and that he could come to me at any time.. one thing that was very hard for me, is the fact that i separated from my wife, with which i was having problems for a long time already.

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i know there are many here that were born into the religion and there are those who have family that were or are involved and that usually sparks an interest.. what about those who become interested by their campaining?

  what influenced others here to become a jehovah's witness?.

  what influenced you?.

  Jesus tells kiddies not to play wih penis' or vulvas?

  by lovelylil in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  on the thread about the pdf for the 2003 listening to the great teacher book, i posted about the arguement my hubby and i had over this book when it first came out.

  i threw out the 2 copies my kids had and then regretted it because i think this book is very telling about the wt organization and the issue of pedophiles and child molestation.

  i wanted to address what happened here too for discussion.. i am not good at copying over texts so perhaps someone else can post here pages 59-60 in this book where sexual content is explained in vivid detail using the terms penis and vulva.

  SEX

  by billie jean in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i don't mean to sound crude but ive always wondered what witnesses are allowed to do in their marriage (sex wise) only i always imagined that they wouldn't ever deviate from the 'missionary possition' and what about oral sex, is that allowed ?.

  i spoke to an 'on the fence' old friend of mine a while ago he'd recently married and he said that a sister in their congregation had told his wife that anything other than 'missionary' was totaly out, he was angry at this statement and told me he thought it was "a matter of conscience" .

  but i'm still curious !
