  active and happy jw

  by scumgrief in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am an active jw and was raised as one.

  i have been watching the site for a while and thought it could benefit from the opinions of someone who is happily a member of the jw's.

  i will not get into any argumets that lead to nothing except name calling, and will not talk with anyone who is just plain mean (plenty of them in here).

  Blood Type

  by Christina77 in

  1. watchtower

  is it normal for those that refuse blood to not know their blood type?

  that is usually one of the first things that the hospital lets parents know about their kids and when you go for any blood work it is on the top of the sheet.

  i have a very rare blood type and i questioned my boyfriend about his for future knowlege when we have kids.

  How the JWs helped me

  by larc in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  all of us have had negative experiences as a result of leaving the witnesses, some much worse than others.

  many here, have expressed a bitterness and an anger over loosing so many "wasted" years.

  while these are natural feelings, i think there are several positives we can dwell on as well.

  "I can't find my car..."

  2. friends

  one of my closest friends in all the world is someone i'll call m. m is in her mid-thirties and was raised a jw from infancy but is one no longer.

  her parents are still very jw... her dad is a very high profile, respected elder in a large american city.

  they are both cool people... i've sat and had long talks with both of them about subjects having nothing to do with 'the truth.

  New Book, a Powerhouse

  by Maximus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've received numerous questions asking for documentation of issues raised on this board.

  some threads have gems that get developed, then buried, and someone raises the same question.

  cd roms whirr.. for some ray franz is more than sufficient, others also enjoy the perspective of "apocalypse delayed" by trained historian james penton, which was vital to me personally.

  Gleaning at Bethel

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  want to see bethelites act like greedy scavengers?

  just check out the tail end of bethel family breakfast, lunch or dinners.

  for those not familar with this phenomenon, gleaning was when bethelites could basically bring their tupperware dishes down and store up on the leftover meals once the family was dismissed (usually by prayer, except for the bethel dinner).
