in my experinace of the JW's it was the nasty people who got most freinds. But in the real world it works the other way around.
I do belive that you get back from the universe what you give to it

ok guys lets not get to negative here. We have to recognise that in this case the JW's did try to reach out, which lets face it is pretty unheard of for most of us.
So... i think we should receprecate with a pack of our own " Take your life back from this insane cult" pack. whattya think eh?

My question is this, would you wear such a thing as a evil eye charm or say a cross now? and if so why? I personly love my charm braclets but would never wear a cross as it represents religon to me, not sure about the evil eye thing though...;)

Thoughts on NOT dating
by wantstoleave injust throwing some thoughts out there.
wondering if anyone feels the same as i do.
you know, being brought up not being allowed to date until you were 'of marrying age'.
-

tigeress
an utterly warped way of thinking. So much for getting to know someone first. The JW way ensures that you have no idea who it is that you are marrying. i often wonder if that was the whole point? otherwise would anyone get married in the borg?
For myself i find its just best to be yourself with the opposite sex, people respond and appreciate honestly and they seem to know when you are being genuine. I think a trap that alot of us EX JW's can fall into is imagening that the rest of the normal world will judge us and think as badly of us as the JW's did. However nothing could be further from the truth, people in the real world actauly don't think like that. They do not go around judging others, in fact they wouldn't dream of it.
Anyway if you are thinking of leaving the JW's you will find this out for yourself. The only word of advice i would say is give yourself some time to come to terms with your new life and new way of thinking before you start dating. Find yourself first and then the rest, love etc will follow

"Doctrinal changes:
Generation teaching changed to mean the current anointed class now living, regardless of age
1935 cut off date for selection of 144,000 extended indefinitely"
...have they actauly said this? if so i missed it but then i might have been fading at the time. I have asked JW's i know if there has been a "generation" change but they said no???
can someone please clarify?
PS , farkle... sorry i don't belive for a moment that they will ever allow those terrible corrupting humans AKA "the dear sisters" to ever have a place in the cong;)
