  we are truly in the last days of this wicked system

  u.s. life expectancy has risen to a new high, now standing at nearly 78 years, the government reported wednesday.

  the increase is due mainly to falling death rates in almost all the leading causes of death.

  the average life expectancy for babies born in 2007 is nearly three months greater than for children born in 2006.. .

  What's the best way to reason with and help your wife to give up her JW religion?

  by lifelong humanist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i dad myself 6 years ago, and was quite surprised that my wife (of 38 years) did not follow suit.

  perhaps this is because her father and brother are still active jws, and she doesn't want them to shun her the way that they have done to me.. so, my wife is still a jw, albeit losing interest in her religion.

  as far as i know, she doesn't even go door to door anymore.

  Since leaving the witnesses....

  by LouBelle in

  1. jw

  my life has been an absolute joy.

  i didn't realise how unhappy i was and how much tension, angst and animosity i actually carried around with me when in that faith - it was always us against them, with regards to everything.

  i wasn't allowed to just be myself, to be free to express myself - and by that i don't mean being sexually immoral, drinking and passing out...i just mean plain and simple me laughing, joking, sleeping in, playing sports, healty compition, buy a gift for my mother on mothers' day, celebrating a birthday of someone i love (all those beautiful little things that make a person unique you know).. my life now is free, happy, mostly full of joy and peace.

  Unbelieving Husband's Status

  this thought came up while i was thinking of michael jackson's father joe.

  i'm not sure if he was witness or one of those husbands that shows up for the memorial and an occasional public talk.

  anyway here is what i've noticed.

  MEN - when did you finally understand/ forgive your Dad?

  by hamsterbait in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most men will agree that in the teens they all fall out with and disagree with their father.. when did you start to understand where he was coming from?.

  i remember a poem, where the writer describes how he always thought his dad was mean and intransigent.

  he is lighting the boiler in the morning, and starts remembering how all through his childhood, the house was heated when he got up, and like his own father he cleans everybodys shoes before they get up on sunday.. i think it is only when you go through a similar crisis to the father, or finally have rebelling sons that true understanding kicks in.. i was vile to my father whilst he was dying of cancer.

  Money and the BORG...

  by cognac in

  it seems to me that most of the borgs growth now is from 3rd world countries and from uneducated, poorer people.

  i don't believe this was the case years ago.

  and, there are a lot in that are stuck in.

  Come Be My Follower - my wife is making the son read this with her

  by insearchoftruth in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  my wife has gotten another renewed zeal for the wts, well due to his own misbehaving (and i am sure conversations with the dubs on how to get him better) she has decided to make him read come be my follower.. am pretty sure i have a pdf of this..... my stepson is pretty good at thinking for himself and i have already shown him stuff on 1975 and other questionable teachings, last night when she finished reading chapter one with him, he stepped out of the room, looked at me and said "that was hell".. anyone here have any thoughts on this book, i think she is going to read it with him (and he is almost 16) so i would like to provide him a leading question or two, maybe this can cause her to think as well.. thanks,.
