my disfellowshipped hub is not interested and neither is my friend its like they want to just shut it all out and any mention just brings back bad memories of being disfellowshipped .

i could understand if they still were scared of apostates and all that rubbish but they dont believe in anything !

which prooves my point about a lot of folk in the "truth" that they are there by chace or because they were born in and dont know anything different or scared of dying at armaggedon , its not really about a deep love for god and a wish to do his will and enjoy spreading "the good news" which is "you are all going to die soon" how could someone who was a pioneer and appeared "spiritual"and was considered elder material go from that to not believing in god at all ?

Just because someone appears not to be interested in their JW past, it doesn't mean they've moved past it or that their perpective is healthier than someone who is a regular here.

*shrug*

I don't like religion period. I don't mean to say the effects aren't there. From a objective standpoint I feel it is disgusting the way they have misled millions of people. They just never misled me. At 10 when my mother would be having her bible study soon after she quit the Catholic church I would play my clarinet loudly in the next room so they'd have a hard time hearing each other. I'd disrupt their studies and generally just be a pain in the ass when made to go to meetings. I drew pictures and talked the entire meeting and was labeled bad association as early as age 12

Too much my father's daughter I suppose.

My husband on the other hand, who used to post here, was very damaged by the witnesses. I think he's made peace with it, but he still likes to jump in the car and go up to Russell's grave near here and take pictures to rile up his still in JW family.

Jeff Goldblum was my family Doctors son. Jeff was a year or two behind me in high school here in Western PA.

Oh my word, I never knew he was from the Pittsburgh area. Odd, I grew up near there too.

Wrongly accused??? I know for a FACT that he molested several young children. Can't say anymore on the subject, but he was GUILTY though found innocent in court.

Um. LOL. I'm not saying he was guilty nor innocent, I don't know. But you have inside information you're not sharing? RRRight.

i'm over the jw thing, it's been too long ago to remember. however, i still like the ex jw community for the most part.

i had no interest in bibical/doctrinal things even when i was being made to go to the hall. i never believed in anything and can remember doubting god's existance from as far back as i can remember. the only thing that stuck with me is the bitterness of for 5 years being deprived of a normal social life from age 10 to 15.

for others who believed then came to their senses, well, there probably is a lot to get over and a lot to vent. but not everyone has the same dub experience.

birds

so, i'm thinking of getting a pet bird with the money i saved by working on my own car.

i'm trying to decide on species.

any suggestions?.

m.seagull

We have a pair of peach ring necked doves that are wonderful.

They are very tame and sound like they're laughing when they coo.

There are also smaller diamond doves that are gorgeous.

those sound like nice birds to have. they have my vote.

A Dating Site For Jehovah's Witnesses?!

by Blue Grass in

i discovered a site called www.jwmatch.com which have pictures of individuals claiming to be jws looking for others jws to date.

based on the watchtower's anti internet stance and meeting people online, i doubt this website is real.

has anyone else seen this site?

m.seagull

ha! my sister met her husband on jwmatch. she did have to lie to people and say she met him at a convention however.
