I say OMG, but just the letters, like O M G, not oh my gosh/god. I never liked saying god, even before I was introduced to the org.
Mrsjones-what does the H stand for in Jesus H Christ? lol, I've never heard that before. But I like it

Organ Transplants, Rape, Paganism
by AwSnap ina family member from my extended family is staying with me for the holidays; we had a very interesting conversation.. ....i've never had such an in-depth conversation with somebody who has never been a witness (j-dub as he likes to call them).
i kept feeling a little weird because certainly i can go on and on and on and on about it, but i rarely do.
i showed him my findings on organ transplants, rape rule changing, we talked about how frusterating it is that the jdubs will look at all the origins and history of everything and use that as an excuse not to celebrate holidys, etc....yet they refuse and are ignorant to their own true history.

Or perhaps there is someone on the inside who is secretly trying to expose them by leaving that kind of information available to anyone who has doubts! Idk, just a thought..
Either way, if it wasn't for some of the threads on this site I would never have had my eyes opened to the real truth. So I'm glad someone is looking out for those of us who had our eyes closed by the wtb&ts.

How big is the room where the TV will be located? We have a 46" and thats actually pretty darn big in our living room, its an LCD, and my husband plays video games on it all day and he raves about the picture quality, so maybe I'm biased on that level towards the LCD. But keep in mind the size of the TV vs the size of the room. You want to make sure you're going to be comfortable watching movies and playing video games and that you're not having to strain your neck or keep looking left and right and up and down because the screen is so huge!
I say read up on some of the pro's and con's, talk to some experts, and then go with your instinct. Good luck!

Is the 73 inch also an LCD? Since you will using the TV for video games, I would suggest making sure the TV is LCD. With Plasma, I've read that if there is an image that is constantly on the screen, such as a health bar in video games, that image will burn onto the TV after a while.
If both are LCDs then if you possibly can, see what the bigger one looks like turned on. Also take into account the distance between you and where you will place the TV. If the space is small, then I would go with the slightly smaller tv, otherwise it can be a little hard on the eyes as far as focusing goes.

To tell my parents or not to tell my parents...unfortunately that is a question
by feenx ini could use some perspective on something i'm struggling with.
first off, a little background info.
i am an only child and my parents, in addition to quite difficult circumstances we've all experienced, both personally and as a family while i was growing up, remain devout.

Congratulations on your engagement! I am truly sorry you find yourself in this situation. I too agree with most of the others who have posted. Your parents seem to have expressed their desire to have nothing to do with you, but don't let that influence the kind of person you are.
Like leavingwt stated "Expect nothing". Don't go into this with the hopes that they might change their mind and see this is a big enough event in your life to where they will throw aside all that they have been taught as JWs to finally be a part of your life. Make this about you and your soon to be wife. This union is between the two of you and God if you so choose, and you should let nothing take away from that happiness. Send them an invitation the same as you would anyone else. Don't make it about your parents, make it about your family. Maybe someday they will see what they are missing and reach out to you, maybe not. But don't leave room for possible regret or what if's on your part.
Best wishes for your special wedding day and marriage, and any little ones that may pop up in the future!

Did You WANT To Talk To Disfellowshipped People?
by minimus indid you at least want to say "hi"?
or did you avoid them like the plague?.

I only remember 1 or 2 people in my congregation that were df'd, but I didn't know them nor had I ever met them before, but if they happened to walk by me I would smile, or hold the door open to the kingdom hall when they came in or out if I was in front of them. Just something any decent person would do. I would get looks sometimes like I was doing something grotesque but I could never see a reason why I couldn't show a little bit of decency and courtesy.
Of course I never took the initiative to talk to them and be more encouraging. I was too afraid of what would happen to me. I feel terrible about it now, especially being df'd myself, it would be nice if SOMEONE would at least smile and not look at me like I was a leper.
I just think the org has people too scared to even think about talking to a df'd person. Especially with all the talks they give lately about how you shouldn't even say Hi because then its like you're going agaist the WT and there could be dire consequences. Just another way to control people I guess.

What accusations do you have about us JWs? AND what group are YOU a part of?
by theMadJW in.

i'm one of the few jws that freely admit our faults and mistakes.. let's compare notes!.

How about this...
Where is the scriptural basis for man or women to be harrassed by 3 men into telling them EXPLICIT details of his/her sex life for the purpose of deciding whether or not to disfellowship that person?
And if that person were to apply for reinstatement in a different congregation, where the new JC decides he/she is worthy of being reinstated, but the original JC says not enough time has passed...yet the holy spirit is supposedly upon these men...how is it that both groups have come to a different conclusion on the matter? Is the holy spirit only directing one JC and not the other?

Did you ever think you would end up here?
by highdose inmeaning... on this website, no longer a jw or at least no longer beliving anymore?
i never did, even 18 months ago it would have seemed impossible, unthinkable.
even though looking back the seeds of doubt had been sown for some time, i just never allowed myself to think about them... vvv dangerous thing to do!.

I thought that if I ever even considered looking up a site like this that my computer would spontaneously combust!
But now I think to myself, why didn't I come here sooner? Oh well, glad I'm here now.
