I'll borrow it from the library but the shilling is a major turn-off.

Are there ex-jws who haven't read Confessions of a Teenage Jesus Jerk?
by mutinyinheaven inevery ex-jw who has read my novel of a love story based in the jws is blown away.
there hasn't been one bad review, and it has been reviewed in the boston globe, san francisco chronicle, sf weekly, portland's weekly and daily newspaper and more.
publishers weekly gave it a starred rating and it's optioned for a film through hunting lane, the same producers who brought you blue valentine and half nelson.. it's available all over north america at indie bookstores, barnes & noble and more.. if you buy it off of me directly and don't like it, i will refund upon return of book minus shipping and paypal costs.. www.tonydushane.com.

Hello--new to the witnesses...and you
by LKM injust wanted to introduce myself.
i went to the kh for the first time 2 weeks ago...and will go again tomorrow.
i don't believe anything witnessy...(i was raised in the assembly of god church and now the closest thing i "do" with religion is yoga or sometimes the buddhist temple).... but the man i'm in love with is a df'd jw (we've been together for 6 years).... and he wants to get reinstated just to talk to his family again (i can assure you he does not believe it).... and he wants his family to accept me because we are about to get married... so, i'm going to meetings...its very interesting, but only because it shows me more about how he was raised.

Welcome to the forum.
Attending meetings will not make a difference in him being reinstated. If you nothing is hindering you, get married and then he can proceed with the long reinstatement process. Good luck.

Should i break up???
by Dudu ini need advice specially from those wise women and men from this forum, who has been in a relationship for long time.
here is my situation, i am dating a guy for 4 months now and everything was going smooth, but since a month ago , he is been going out with some friends.... my boyfriend only has 2 full days off during the month , every other sunday, last day off he went all day with his friends to the beach and i was ok with that, but today he is calling me to ask me if i am ok with him going with his friends again all day to the beach.
we dont go out that much and maybe we go out one time a week and is for dinner or something like that, i dont think of myself as clingy but i dont like this pattern...... should i break up?

NC hit this out of the park IMO. The first thing that stood out to me was that you told him yes when you meant no. Have a chat with him about your needs and his, then go from there.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, i remember an 'unofficial' list being passed out during a local needs part in my former congregation. It included all the things you would find on a Red Cross disaster list like blankets, waters, flashlights etc. Also, efforts were made to update addresses, phone numbers and emergency contact info for each publisher.

Many dubs give the side-eye to protests at KH's and assemblies but if you planning something akin Mouthy's protest, then go for it. Place "Jwfacts" on the banner. Are you fully out? Will this be risky to your fade?

I worked on the costumes in a handful of dramas. Single sister were hardly ever selected for roles. That may have to do with incident of a sister hooking up with a married bro, they met during drama rehersals.
