I saw this last night. My wife was in the office and came out and asked what I was watching.
I said, "20/20". She said, "What's it about?"
I said, "A JW elder accused of murdering his wife." She asked, "Is he denying it?"
I said, "Yes. Do you want to watch it?" She said, "No. Those shows frustrate me because they never totally prove whether someone is guilty or not."
Later she came back in and I told her about the searches on the elder's computer. "I've seen a lot of stories where that's happened," she said. "Do you think they could have been planted there?" "No," I replied. "I don't think the police would do that, if that's what you mean." (Maybe Satan typed in those searches to make JW's look bad LOL).
Earlier that night, my wife had gone to a shower for a neighbor's grown daughter. She came back talking about how the daughter was in a relationship with a man in prison, and how glad she was that she wasn't in "the world". (As if all "worldly" people are in relationships with inmates.)
So it was nice that the Witnesses get a dose of reality on national TV.
Here's a pic that illustrates my wife, and most dubs:

The 'other sheep' - Isn't it so obvious that Jesus is talking about gentiles?
by jambon1 inam i being silly or do some other religions have a different understanding of who the 'other sheep' are?.
when i was a jw, i could see so clearly that this group is the gentiles.
that is, of course, reading the text 'in context', rather than simply placing it in a flakey jw leaflet.. why can jehovahs witnesses not see that they are so wrong on this point?.

This was something that also became SO obvious to me, too, but only after having my WT blinders removed.

Creation speculation
by JimmyPage ini still see evidence of intelligent design around me, but i don't believe everything a book tells me just because it claims to be inspired.
so i ask, as i look around at creations, both animal and human, that are all flawed: is it possible that our creator was imperfect?.
is it possible there was more than one creator?

Is it possible there was more than one creator? Like a creative team?
Since all creation appears to be mortal, is it possible that our creator(s) died a long time ago?

The New World Translation version of these verses is just as interesting.

I deliberately didn't quote them to her so that she would be curious and look them up to see for herself what they say.
But if there are people here who haven't read these verses I think it's great to have them quoted.

"I'm glad "Brian" is enjoying school so much! The cookies are cute. Some might think they are a little Halloween-ish but I always bear in mind what Romans 14:5,6 and Colossians 2:16 say."

wife took it pretty well i guess...it's over...
by oompa ini guess it only took three years, but they were hell in so many ways for both of us...she was not happy and lived in denial as much as possible...i was not happy and lived in a bottle as much as possible and glad that is over for me....but it was one of the saddest things i have ever experienced in my life....as was the visit to my parents before i told her....but yes...she said she kind of expected it...was thinking something was going to happen soon as she noticed i had more and more trouble saying i love you back to her when she said it on the phone at the end of goodbyes...and when i was leaving the house...i had noticed it for over a year and it was killing me..... i told her how sorry i was for changing so much again....and that she still walks on water...and is a great person and so pretty....and that she will be ok because she was happy single before me for many years and had all she needs for that again...her closeness to jehovah and her freinds in the congregation...she is very close to both and will be ok i hope...it was very surreal....very calm...very sad.
my bitterness and disdain for wt rules came through when talking to my parents and i was very open about how i feel as to their upcoming shunning of me, and how it feels to my son since he was just 17....and how the fear of losing them had kept me trying in my marriage for the past few years...dad was firm in his position of future action....mom said they will still always love me...and will still talk to me until i get dfd.....oh how this hurts.....dad said there is a name for people who only live for themselves and deny god but could not think of what it was....i told him i was not living just for myself...that i am a good person and there are values from him and the bible i hope i always have....i cry so hard as i type this and tell you just so you can know how painful this is....i told him i so loved the rule of treating others how you want to be treated and have always done that...even allowing myself to be wronged on so many occasions to keep peace....... he said that was a good rule....i agreed and said it was a big one too....and that while i could do it...treat him the way i would like to be treated...he would not be able to!.......left as i became emotional...big hug from mom, but i just barely put an arm on dad............oompa.

I'm so proud of you Oompa... I think this was necessary, unfortunately, for you to move on with your life... you tried it the JW way and it didn't work... but you tried...
