What religion do X-JWs belong to now?

by jonathan dough in

jw
friends

i get the feeling many x-jws are floating about aimlessly and don't join christendom, still living with the jw indoctrinated belief that they are all the work of the devil.

does that make sense?

are they supposed to sit around in small groups in their living rooms reading scripture like ray franz recommended in crisis of conscience?

No.
Please explain Christendom. I'd like your take on it.

Blondie, there are new studies that show older men who father children have children with higher frequencies of autism and schizophrenia.

This used to be a female only issue. Now it is an issue for both partners to think about.

Just because the boys can swim, does not mean they should be in the gene pool.

Here is one link:

Correct AnnOMaly

There was a story today on "The View" (I know, I know--) about a 72 year-old woman trying in-Vitro. She has spent over $50,000 trying to get pregnant.

She is 72 years-old. She can't. Yet, someone is taking her money.

All to fulfill her dream of a kicking baby in her womb.

Right Finally-Free. When you think about the cost and the actual dollars, it might make you stop and go "Maybe I'll look into that charity." Or something along that line. When you can't you can't. Believe me, I've been there. Having to evaluate all your options when Mother Nature does not heed your call is tough.

i know, i know, more michael jackson news.

this for some reason has got me ticked off.

if you go to the tmz website you will see a photo of paris and her brother holding the "sing praises to jehovah" songbook.

Thanks for the link.

First thing I noticed:

Why isn't the little girl, Paris in a dress? If she's truly at a KH, shouldn't she be in a dress? When did they start letting girls, of any age, start wearing pants? And jeans at that?

Or, is this a class and privilege thing?

There are so many medical issues on the woman's side to get pregnant at this age. Then we find out that older men will have children who are more prone to autisim.

So, people, do the world a favor and keep it in your head. Go get a cat/dog. Adopt a kid in another country. Become a Big Brother/Big Sister. Look into the foster child system. There are so many ways to help. Not like this. Not leaving children, more children, without parents.
