  I just watched "It's a wonderful life" for the first time....

  cagefighter has been a little down in the dumps as usual around the holidays, short days, lack of clear family status and plans for the pagan rituals like everyone else.

  i have also been struggling with my belief or lack of in god and god letting idiots with guns run around while he does nothing for children dying of cancer hasn't helped either.

  you can say, i have been in a extreme rationalists state of mind.. last week for my small group from church (the umc equivelent of the book study in jw land) we just decided to pop this little movie in the dvd player and light up the fire place.

  Broken Promises

  hi from Australia!

  I was a born-in and I left at around the same age as you, leaving for good when I was 30.

  At first I let the family think I was still active but I got tired of living a lie, and just told them I wasn't going anymore. It has caused some problems but we've decided to just not talk about religion or JWs to keep the piece. It's taken ALOT of work to get to this stage but it can be done.

  It has been easier to leave as a single person than if I was married and had children to worry about.

  I'm female, btw. How you doin?

  Christmas Plans

  by LouBelle in

  so what are your plans for christmas.. this year i am not spending it with my entire family.

  some of them are doing their own thing/have their own plans, which i don't mind as sometimes those paticular family members can be straining.. so it will be spent with my mum, brother, father, some family friends and a couple of "strays" (people that don't have family to spend christmas with so we invite them over).

  there will be a light breakfast shared and gifts opened in the morning.. i'm cooking up a feast:.

  not sure how to approach this but here goes.....my wife discovered a porn site on the computer tonight.

  yes, i was going to them, and i was foolish to think i could never get caught.

  i have been visiting them for some years, not a daily problems, but occasionaly every month or so - still a problem wethere its once or a hundred times.

  Your wife is seriously over-reacting.

  Unless your boss and co-workers are JWs, they will laugh at your wife for making such a big deal over nothing. Because it is nothing.

  And your daughter shouldn't be drawn into this. It's none of her business and daughters don't want to know what goes on in their parents' sex lives.

  And I'm a woman, for what it's worth. I don't think you're the devil for looking at regular porn. Every guy does it.

  all documents of important nature such as, our kingdom ministry, boe letters, forms, or other materials will now be sent only by email or private message communications.

  they will not be posted out here on the board.

  if someone else wants to post them, be my guest.. .. we have no other choice in this matter, and sending out confidential documents is better when it is done privately.

  No one's "complaining".

  I'm simply asking "why".

  Can anyone explain why emailing these special documents to heaps of strangers are any better than posting it online?

  How long before a WT spy signs up for an email from Atlantis and then traces it back?

  Exactly.

  How is sending "confidential materials" via email any different to posting it on here?

  Fading in another country

  by sillygirl2013 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is my first topic here, i'm a bit nervous and hope no police-y jw elder/ms is trolling this site looking for faders.

  paranoia i hope, not anything close to reality :-).

  so i've been away from my country for a year now, working in this fantastic country in europe.

  Fake the letter.

  Use fake letterhead, use a friend's address for the KHall address, and pretend to be the body of elders from your host country's congregation writing the letter.

  Your cards will be sent to you and the elders in your home cong will assume that your records are now in the hands of the elders of the new congregation.

  It will make your fade MUCH easier. And don't be afraid to make the fade. Let your parents think that you've simply slipped spiritually while being overseas. Eventually they'll get used to the idea of you not being a JW.
