  Why are wedding rings allowed?

  by Newborn in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as far as i know, the wedding ring custom, origins from pagan worshipers so why is that allowed by the wt???

  i've never saw an article abt that in their literature.

  isn't that to swallow the camel?

  Do you find debating with a JW exhaustive?

  by digderidoo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i certainly do.. i have been debating with two jw's on another forum about the un issue.

  i have produced so much evidence that the un did have their citeria of support when the wt society became an ngo, all from the un itself.

  yet because the wt statements say that they didn't have that criteria and it was changed later the jw's refuse to believe anything else.. sometimes i think what's the point talking to these people.

  The most stupid thing a sister said to me

  by Newborn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of my "so called" closest sister friend in the congregation, said to me when we once had lunch that "if i was a man, i would want to have an affair with you"!!!

  i just went numb...what a crazy thing to say.

  i think she revealed her sick deep thoughts.

  She's a pioneer and married to an elder btw. Very spiritual....yeah right.

  The same sister later adviced me to be more regular at the meetings. Made me sick to my stomach. Not long after I left for good.

  What have you heard?

  Do You Have "Normal" Goals Now?

  by compound complex in

  have you developed new interests and goals now that you're no longer a kingdom-oriented jw?.

  or just picking up where you left off before you became a witness?.

  and without the guilt...?.

  Be myself.

  Be true to myself and follow my heart ALWAYS.

  Be happy. Find love and start family. I also said no to having children (thought I could have 10 in paradise) but maybe I will one day.

  by isaacaustin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  last nite at my parents service meeting an announcement was made regarding the new triple meeting.

  they said that no one can go over their allotted time at all during the tms.

  if the bell rings you are to stop immediately- not even finishing your sentence.

  Thanks!

  Totally agree

  I'm now free to celebrate my adorable nieces birthdays. Congratulate colleagues. Going to Casino if I feel like. Play poker, lotteries. Doing Yoga. Flirt if I want. Watch any movie I want. Listen to what music I want. Go out dancing if I want. Donating money to charities etc etc.

  I'm actually a much better fellow human now.

  But to them I've become a dangerous person, huhhhhh.

  Sad.

  Did you always know you might leave?

  by jws in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you grew up a jw, did you always know you weren't going to be one when you grew up?

  did you ever have that spark?

  i don't think i always knew i wouldn't be one.

  I'm being officially disfellowshiped today. I never thought, growing up in the "Club", in my wildest dream, it would come to this.

  But I'm so happy.

  hi again

  I don't doubt it's not the truth but I guess it's been to short time. I just still feel like someone is looking at me and judging me...scriptures pops up, you remember talks, comments etc etc.

  I don't feel regret either, cause I can't change the past anyway. I don't recent my parents for bringing me up as a JW. They only did what they thought was best. However, they regret it a lot. They left 10yrs ago. Now I only have a sister left at Bethel who won't have any contact with me from now onBut we hope she'll come to her senses one day too.

  I've not replace it with something else yet. I don't know what to believe in to be honest. I feel quite confused when it comes to different religions in general. Is there a god at all?? I feel I'll define my new faith as I go. I like the Buddhists philosophies but will never become one myself. I'm trying my best to enjoy life every day. I've friends, family and a job I love. Will follow my heart and do what I like, i.e. enjoy the FREEDOM

  Thanks
