has anyone heard of curse on JW regarding fertility?
by God Chick in

while in jw i knew so many women who had trouble falling pregnant or had trouble keeping babies to term including my own family.

out of us 6 girls only 2 could fall pregnant.. i've heard since leaving that the masons have a curse on them that effects fertility, since the founders of jw were masons has it passed on?.

the bible does talk about curses and that they were generational.. is this an urban myth?

What happened to your marriage after you stopped believing?

i know some posters here went through or are going through some painful things right now because of no longer believing when they have a husband / wife that still does.

others were able to free the minds of their spouse.

i'm assuming the latter is a lot more rare.. anyone that wishes to share their story, please do.. i'm looking to pass the info on to someone who doesn't totally believe, but may marry a jw.

JW Tall Tales

recently i was cleaning my bookcase and found an old book that i enjoyed as a child.

it had stories in it such as paul bunyan, pecos bill, and john henry.

while these stories are fictional, i enjoyed them because they were entertaining, and easy to understand.. fast forward to the late 70's when i was a teenager sitting at the ca hall in janesville wisconsin.. the speaker was explaining the great sacrifice god made in sending his son down to earth to die for all mankind.

just curious.. has anyone successfully tested the 'power' of the holy spirit by being appointed even though they were not zealous jw's?.

once i get appointed, i'd resign within a week.

'coz i would'nt stand jc's and df'ing people..

Tattoos/Piercings?

i feel like woody allen in the 1973 movie "the sleeper".

i leave in 1995, wake up 15 yrs later to see what has been going on in the jw religion and find out it is completely different from what i left.

i started a thread about beards, because i wanted to know how the modern day beard and goatee fad went over in the kh's.. now i'm curious about the tattoo, piercings and short or shaved hair look.

hello all you scary apostates.
