  thanks

  as a self employed person, i often found that jw's would expect me to provide my service for free out of "christain love". Even though it meant alot of financal outlay on my part.

  i remember one family who agreed how much they would pay me and when afterwards i presented them with the bill were furious!

  looking in my closet i find its full of "modest jw sister style stuff" all buttoned up to the neck shirts etc. I live in a very hot country and those are agony to wear! so i've ditched them, and my necklines have now plumeted by around 20-25cm. its so much cooler and freeing! oh and i've also ditched the ankle length skirts...can't belive i've been trussed up in modest wear for so long!

  thanks everyone for your support, i'm taking one step/risk at a time... now if only i could work up the nerve to go skinny dipping? ( somthing else i've always wanted to do)

  heres a Q for everyone whose left the JW's, when enbarking on your new life, were there any mistakes/ pitfalls you could now warn a newbie about? :)

  two witness ruling ?

  by KAYTEE in

  if a paedophile commits a crime against a junior there has to be, according to the watchtower two witnesses for action to be taken.. if one party of a marriage commits adultery, does there have to be the same, (two witnesses) before action is taken?.

  if not........................ kt.

  the law courts may indeed work like that. but that does not mean its right. many is the case where criminmals go without punishment for that reason.

  however don't JW's have a rule that if 2 members of the opposite sex spend time alone together in say a house, that is grounds for a JC. Because they automaticlay assume that they must have done somthing wrong?

  PS. posters take note, i can't spell, never have, never will :)

  i think your right chalam, i never found NWT easy, its very gruesome too. and i have to admit i never did understand much of what paul wrote. i noticed that the society only uses certain bits over and over again so i guessed they didn't understand too. either that or it was just me being stupid.

  ...i kept all my chick lit books tho;)

  i found the website while internet surfing, kinda a flow invovling looking up JW's on wikipedia then ray franz then here

  you do know you people are meant to be the very essance of wickedness don't you? at last thats what they are always saying from the platform! but having read some threads i've found mostly you are only saying what i've heard a ton of jw's saying in private

  btw oompa, i've thrown out all my jw books except my bible. the garbage men tore open the bin bag when collecting it.. for weeks afterwards there was tracts fluttering down my street, sticking out of bushes etc!

  thanks everyone, your real sweeties:)

  so nice to have a responce from people that isn't " go to all the meetings and you will feel fine!"

  i have moved country recently, no one knows that i was a jw here. the other day i was walking along the street and this badly dressed misrable woman jumps out at me and starts waving the WT silently in my face! i yelled out "NO!" and almost ran the other way!haha

  btw none of my family are JW's they got pushed out sometime ago, it was only me clinging on

  hi everyone

  this is a first timer posting. heres my story which im hoping you guys can help me with, even if its just support ( i could sure use some!)

  brought up in the truth, i spent 20+ years of my life having trauma after trauma in it. It got to the point a few months ago when due to the state i was in my Dr put me on seriously heavy duty anti depressants. Since taking them a werid thing has happened... i don't care any more about the truth. i havn't been to the meetings or prayed, ive even started questioning their beliefs!

  i've got out into the world and discovered that instead of being full of evil people, i've actauly found really nice freinds. I've even started dating/ flirting with guys and discovered that far from being the sex crazed wild men i was taught they were.Theyv'e actauly turned out to be really nice and far more respectfull to me than any brother ever has been.

  my problem is this: i don't know if what i'm going through right now is reality, or is it just the drugs talking? if i come off them will i want to go back to the JW's? right now i certainly don't! and i havn't yet crossed any line that might get me DF'd but i know i can't sit on the fence forever...

  does anybody here have any insights? help!
