  The "what an a$$" / "pain in the a$$" thread...

  by cognac in

  so, hubby and i actually went to a mtg this week.

  during the bookstudy, an elder asked who would benefit from something scripturally.

  i actually raised my hand and said, "anyone who applies it"... he said, "that's true, but more specifically"... then, of course somebody raised there hand and said "jws".... what an a$$.... i'm on facebook and have befriended some jws.

  "I want that house in the new system!"

  Someone really wrote that on facebook?..like was it their status or a comment to someone else?

  That is really discusting. Like wishing people dead.

  I love walking on the beach barefooted.

  I love sitting on the back porch, drinking a cup of coffee and watching the sun come up.

  I love sitting in front of a bond fire in the evening,with family and friends and drinking cold beer.

  There's more I like to do...but that's all I got now.

  How many XJWs went onto another faith....?

  by 2pink in

  2. friends

  i'm just curious here.. as i am exiting currently and trying to find my new place (and belief system) in this world, i am wondering what the experience was like for other xjws.

  did you go onto a new faith?

  i'd love to read your responses.

  I always thought I'd join a church.......... I guess, I thought that's just what people do...work all week and go to church on Sunday.

  I did go and check out a few different religions/churchs. But never could bring myself to join one. I was afraid they'd start expecting me to be there, and then start asking questions when I wasn't. besides... I never could buy into any of them completely and I never wanted to feel traped again.

  Now I feel no need to go and can't even imagine wanting to go........ sitting with a bunch of people that I may or not like...... feeling forced to listen to something I may or not agree with....when given the choice to do anything else I don't think so.

  I'm also assuming that by 'faith' you meant 'church'...but I guess it doesn't have to mean the same.

  And welcome..

  i just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone on the board.

  i haven't been here that long but from the time i've spent here, i feel very comfortable.

  i've been on boards before (witness ones) where everyone is so opinionated, heartless and holier than thou....but this one is so different.

  I remember being depressed as a JW. I went to talk to my Elder dad. He said..."obviously you're guilty of something. depression is brought on by your guilty conscious."

  yea...that helped.

  How to teach a child?

  by GapingMouth in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a daughter who is nearly 16 months old, and it won't be long before she starts understanding more and more of the rubbish at the khs my wife takes her to.

  she will be very exposed to a lot of creationist junk and i can just imagine her getting brainwashed just as i was a born-in.

  luckily i am in a position to reduce that or perhaps counter it completely.

  One of my favorite stories as a kid, was "The Emperor's New Clothes". I don't know why I thought of that when I read this post.

  Just keep talking and being there, allowing your daughter to learn from your actions, and make her own choices.

  Wasn't really impressed with him before. Past my bedtime.

  But I don't care what he does, other than I feel bad for those he cause pain to.

  Can you Believe Some of the New Posters on Here?

  by lifelong humanist in

  2. friends

  in life, i usually trust new people, at least on face value, until i discover otherwise.

  yet, my normal belief system is now in doubt.

  i've just replied to a thread started by 'goldensky' - an alleged spanish lady with lots of history as an extremely devout jw in spain.
