for me, it felt that everynight was a meeting night, the relentlous pressure getting to the meetings.. for my husband, apart from the meetings, it was the never ending assiments.

for my teenage son, it must have been field service.

I just always felt like I wasn't good enough for them. No matter how hard I tried, or how much I did I just never felt like part of the in-group.

those jerkfaces.

be thankful you were excluded. if you hadn't been, you might still be there...(besides, when you're part of an "in-group", you gotta kiss a$$, and i don't know about you but that doesn't sound like too much fun...)

no... but i luv the smell of some of the finer ones...particularly the romeo y julieta... i go to this one little shop to get cigar boxes occasionally, and it's a nice place to browse and meet nice men...

Why is it that a JW can't say Happy New Year?

by kls in

new-years eve my husband and i went to my sister's house to bring in the new-year.

my sister knowing much about jws cornered my husband and said " happy new-year don" and he replied" yep it's a 2005".

i have been away from the bs of jwism for a long time and for the life of me i can not remember why it is wrong to celebrate a new year.

They hid behind a good work ethic.

yeah, except for the "good work ethic" part. the jw's i know are a bunch of slackers...

I need help...really really bad...

by crazzae`face in

i'm almost to the point of an emotional breakdown.

i go out with this guy he's 20, a jw and i'm a 16yr.

he basically breaks all the rules in the book; adultry, sex;oral, drugs, drinking, partying, he's even growing a little chin,bottom and top lip hair.

where do i start? wow. i'm sorry you're so sad. i hate to tell you this but he's not going to leave his 'religion' any time soon. my niece was like him, secretly dating non-jw boys, boys who she never brought home to mom & dad. when we reunited one time, she begged me to come meet this guy she was seeing, and when i met him he said wow i can't believe i'm actually meeting one of her relatives! see i was ok to meet him because i'm no longer a jw and she knew i wouldn't disapprove or rat her out to her family. she dated him for a while, then went back to the jw's and dumped him like a hot potato. i'm not saying your boyfriend will do that to you, 'cause i don't know him or you. maybe step back a little bit... you know, don't be so readily available to him, and on his terms... make him come to you and fight for you, because everyone deserves someone who gives their whole heart, not just little pieces.

stick around, there's lots of people here who can help. luv, me

How to handle dubs [stupid lack of] reasoning

when i discussed birthdays with my ms father-in-law, i brought up how eye-makeup has pagan roots, is only mentioned twice in the bible, and both times it is associated with someone wicked guilty of murder.

in every way, it is identical to birthdays, yet it isn't condemned.

he said, "we're not talking about make-up, we're talking about birthdays.".

Incense_and_Peppermints

hmm, i guess when they start tellin their followers they can't wear wedding rings, all hell will break loose. it was only after i left them and met this pagan guy who taught me a lot about his religion that i learned the real truth about wedding rings, the signifiance of the ring finger, etc. and i thought wow what hypocrites.

i give your post !

has anyone who left the "truth" felt like i do... that you cant approach god anymore?

Incense_and_Peppermints

yes, but not out of guilt. i just don't think i can "talk" to God, and i don't think God would answer anyway. i mean, i would think he would help the almost 2 million people in the sudan who are being starved, murdered, raped and displaced before he would listen to my problems, which pale in comparison...
