went to the movies with some JW friends over the weekend. a preview for this movie was shown. when we left the movie, everyone talked about this preview and how we would see this all happen in our time - minus the govt ships taking people to safety. anyway, i commented how disturbing the scenes were of the world being destroyed and everyone else was thought it was so neat and exciting to see that (especially the vatican being destroyed and all of Babylon the Great). when i said i had a hard time that people would have to suffer during this, is this what a loving god would do? everyone looked at me as if i was from another planet.

Your sex life as a j-dub (not sure if this is the correct forum for this)
by Psychotic Parrot inif it isn't then i'm sure a mod will move it for me .
but yeah, for those of you who were married as j-dubs, did you find that being a j-dub somewhat soured things in the saucy department?
lolz.

supermarket , now that is hilarious.
just a little side note, my wife and i went to a concert with some jw friends and the line was super long for the ladies. the mens room was in and out so to speak. we had all been drinking and i told my wife to use the mens room instead. other women were doing it too. so i took her in there and she went into the stall. i followed. a few minutes later, add another new place to our list.
and yes, it was only a few minutes.

Long time reader.....first time poster
by JWinprotest inhello everyone, my wife and i are currently associated with jw's.
my mom converted when i was 3 years old in 1975, my wife was born after her parents converted.
about 4 years ago however, my wife and i have seen many things that have discouraged us enough to start doing some research into the validity of this religion.

welcome. look forward to your posts. interesting how children can make the difference in staying or leaving. we will put up with alot for ourselves, but when it comes to children, we will do anything possible to remove them from a bad situation or one that we find not benefiting them. it is very tough to stay in something you no longer believe in.

my wife, who is a born in jw, has never let a magazine or a board of directors in ny tell her what she can or cannot do in the bedroom, or kitchen, or bathroom, or living room, or car, or you get the idea.

getting time in is quite dishonest !
by looloo ini have a friend (ex workmate) and a jw ex workmate calls on her and has done for 6 years , i recently asked her what they talk about , she said she gives me some mags that go straight in the bin when she leaves but we have a good gossip about my love life and my kids what she has been up to (not a lot as she ia 40 year old virgin) and she never mentions jesus armageddon bla bla .
if she stays 2 hours do you reckon the fact that she leaves the mags means she would count her time , did anyone else do that ?
it prooves its nothing to do with serving god !

my wife had a "call" where she went to this girls house about once a month. my wife picked her up, they go to breakfast, shop for awhile, then have lunch, shop some more, and then she took her home and that is it. she counted the whole day because she says she gives her the mags when she gets there and then they talk about "the truth" during the day. one day, my wife said her husband was coming along and wanted me to come along. we spent the whole day hanging out and had a great time. we are still good friends with them but we never mention anything about "the truth" now. they have made it clear that they do not want to travel down that road and we respect that. my wife stopped counting the time when they made it clear they were not interested. they thought that we would stop doing stuff with them after that but my wife and i both said absolutely not. they are so much fun. but yes, my wife would get 8 hours a month just for that.

Just what are JW's eager for?
by Mad Dawg ini have read over and over that the false prophecies of the wts are really not false prophecies.
they where just folks who were over eager and were keeping oil in their lamps and so forth.
it occured to me today to wonder "eager for what?

in regards to the hope of hurrying up the Big A. i was at a bookstudy many years ago and the brother closing with prayer mentioned that he hoped the Big A (as it was referred to) would happen very soon so that everyone that was a JW would be moving toward the new system working toward perfection. after the prayer, one sister started crying. she told the brother in front of everyone that she could not agree to the prayer as her husband was not a worshiper of jehovah and she did not want him to die because he needed more time. that was a tough thing to hear. everyone just felt so bad for the poor sister. the brother apologized and made some lame excuse that jehovah reads hearts and if he really loves jehovah, he would be fine. the poor sister said that everything she has read in the magazines stated the opposite. that incident always stuck with me.

food at the proper time defense - help
by song19 innothing irritates me more than after spending hours showing a dub exactly why they are wrong and why they are false prophets... rather than defend themselves on each subject they all seem to go back to the food at the proper time argument and stop thinking.
its like everything said is wiped clear.. .
anyhoo, i am now left to contest that argument... before i do, i would like to get some of your feedback on good ways to overcome their broken record answer..

depends on what the original arguement is about.
if you are talking about the flip flop issues of blood, and they claim "food at the proper time" - was it ok for people to die for refusing any treatment and God was ok with that, but now he says that it is ok to accept certain fractions and he doesnt want you to die? What was the logic to let those people die? if it i truely spirit directed, why did God not step in the first time and save those people or was that group doing something wrong or were they not worthy of saving and giving clear direction when it came to matters of life and death?
