Littlebird's Introduction "Hi!"
by littlebird inhi, i've been lurking hear for awhile and just registered this week.
you're an interesting bunch and i look forward to getting to know you better.. i started studying with the jw's when i was 16. i was dating my husband, 10yrs my senior, and he heard they had the truth.
i was in an abusive household, so i moved in with him, studied, got married at 17 and baptised at 18.. i believed in it hook, line and sinker for 22 yrs.

The Society expect themselves to be treated ethically, they just don't offer it to their membership.

Something Big Is Happening To the WT Mag.
by metatron ini looked over the aug. 1 public watchtower and noticed the same changes i observed previously.. plainly put, it appears that they have simply run out of things to say and so are just filling up printing space!.
they devote 4 full pages to a bible reading schedule that could have been easily condensed into a couple sentences.
they have the same large graphics and typeset that eats up printing area.

They must also be severly hamstrung legally, especially for the public edition.

What makes me agree with Jws is the fact they are humble enough to recognise were mistakes have crept in and make the changes even if the shallow judgemental people will view this against them. Jw's accept they are fallible unfortunately the anti-witnesses cannot accept fallibility in their overseers they want what isn't yet available.
So getting these gloriously wrong and having to recant is a sign of being used by God? Very interesting notion.

So actually these old publicationss do serve as a testament to them getting to total equality for all men through their own ways not the world around them.
What, by saying that God will make black people white? Bonkers.

Thanks for sharing! I'm sure some will be helped by what you had to say; it's a big step for exiting of ex-JWs to go into a church.

The problem with trying to keep a relationship going with hardline JW's who have made a vow of loyalty to Brooklyn diktats Jehovah (women seem particularly susceptible to this - runs for cover) is that the elephant in the room is so huge that there is no room for the people. Like Diana said "There were three of us in the marriage and it was a bit crowded."
Also, the problem in the relationship isn't actually the person who has left or the person who is still a JW, it's the blooming organisation that dictates every facet of their life. The people are fine, it's the rules of the organisation that ruins things. But it's not like you're allowed to point that out or anything, because one of their rules is never to speak to or listen to you.
