by minimus insex issues seem to be the number one reason but apostasy is right up there too.

PS I’m so glad your wife woke up. Are you on any other sites? All ex JW sites are crazy in my humble opinion. But I think on this site you can express any opinion you wish....and yes, I agree some of them are boarderline offensive, even. But I don’t think this site is so controlled like reddit is. On reddit only one type of opinion is acceptable. If you express any other you will get a warning and will be literally mobbed. Funnily enough I’m the sort of person who has very Reddit- centric views, but I utterly hate the fact that anyone with other political or religious opinions are silenced there.
I rarely if ever agree with Simon, but I respect the fact he doesn’t try to silence you if you don’t agree with him. Not to mention this site has an absolute wealth of JW knowledge and information. There’s nothing like it for that!! I also think it’s good for more personal support, if you need it.
Im glad to hear you are moving on, are happy and financially comfortable. Sadly it’s not something you can take for granted with ex JWs. I hope you stick around, anyway, at least occasionally!!

Sin came into the world - not true?
by menrov inmatt 5:27 “you have heard that it was said, ‘do not commit adultery.’ 28 but i say to you that whoever looks at a woman to desire her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.. this means that even before someone commits an act that is considered a sin or wrong but does think about it, that person actually already committed that sin or trespassing.. now read this:.
rom.
5:12 so then, just as sin entered the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all people because all sinned— 13 for before the law was given, sin was in the world, but there is no accounting for sin when there is no law.. this means that there was already sin in the world before adam and eve actually ate the fruit.

It’s funny when you think that the first thing they think of when it’s comes to knowing good from evil is....nakedness! How ridiculous!
There are umpteen tribes who go around completely in the buff (in hot, humid countries) and don’t think a thing of it! It’s not something that humans find naturally wrong. It always seems to be colder countries that find public nakedness abhorrent. Funny that!
its just our culture which designates what is sin and what is not.
For instance, adultery to the ancient Hebrews was only if a man, married or single, had sex with a married woman. If a married man had sex with a single woman that was not adultery. That was not a sin to them.
Boiling a Kid in it’s mother’s milk was a sin to them!! “Sinning” is cultural not absolute.

How do you personally deal with your still in family JWS ?
by Finkelstein infor myself i just try to avoid them intentionally maybe see them once every couple of years on average.
they used to be easy going but over the last 10 years or so they got more cult like and distant and i'm really not bothered by that, maybe a bit.
they stick to their own or other members like they are their family so, its makes it unattractive for myself to connect and reach out to them anymore.

@Just fine you are a wonderful Aunt or uncle and I only hope to be as noble and loving as you are if, or when, my young nephews and niece need me.

PistolpeteYour parents raise you, you leave the house and start your own family, Once a year maybe you get together with parents and siblings, and then back to the grind.
One leaves the parents house when the parents are around 40 years old,
Once a year? It would destroy me if my kids wanted to see me once a year!!
Also, if my kids left home when I was 40 they'd be the world's most independent 2 year olds!!!!
