I just want to find new friends ^_^
by pureginseng0 inmy name is ji-seong lee and about jw life, it has been almost 11 years after baptism.. but researching about jw bad behavior, it was a real shock (including child abuse by elders).
but i think just keeping jw lifestyle is more comfortable than stopping it, because of my family.... i have mom, father, and one older sister, and my father was an elder (not now) and my sister is regular pioneer.. so it is just a challenge to quit my religion.. because i just love to make friends throughout the world, (nomatter what religion backgrond they have) i post this text and in the end of this you will find the kakaotalk id of me!!.
i am male and 1993 jan. born.

Need advice: Intimacy with my wife almost non existint because she considers me an apostate
by goingthruthemotions injust on of the perks of being an apostate who is married to a branwashed, blinded jw woman.
you know, we have been married for ~27 years....most of which we had nothing to do with the piece of shite cult.
up till the begining of 2014 was when i woke up.

I went through the same issue when I woke up. We had already been going through a funk in the bedroom department prior to my awakening, but once she made up her mind that I was an apostate, there went any and all intimacy. There was even shunning from her at home. We went through a separation spell but have eventually reconciled.
I guess the big thing that "broke the ice" is when she no longer said that she views me as an apostate, but as an unbelieving husband. It was a painful process to get to that point, a process that included marriage counseling at her request. We finally addressed years of unsaid business. I had to reaffirm her that I wasn't a threat to her spirituality. If that is what she wanted to do, continue being a JW, then I would accept her for that, just as she would have to accept me as "no longer a JW." I even had to admit to her that I was the one who changed, not her.
But I feel your pain. It's not a good place to be at in a marriage. It almost led me to cheat on my wife. And thats the difficult part. I know it goes both ways. but I don't think JW women realize that by withholding in that department, it's only putting her marriage in jeopardy. And honestly, who wants to have "its my marital due" sex? That's no fun at all.Good luck!

You're damned if you do, damned if you don't. Fade, DF, or DA, its a roll of the dice no matter what. The risk of losing friends and family is ALWAYS there when you aren't an active no-blood card carrying cult member. We all have our preferences as to how to leave. I prefer to remove the bandaid off as quick as possible, that goes literally also. the only thing you are guaranteed, with 2 of the 3 choices, DA and DF, is that the JWs will no longer f*ck with you and will leave you alone, forever. To me, thats worth it's weight in gold.
Just my opinions. Peace, ... in the middle east. -

WATCHTOWER'S basic premise is false (i.e. copy the earliest form of Christianity and you get it 'right')
by Terry inwatchtower's so-called 'scholars' (excuse me while i throw up) have a basic premise they have always worked under.
namely, the earliest form of christianity was the purest and least corrupt.
by trying to pattern jw's after this earliest form of "purity of christian doctrine" the so-called truth is supposed to emerge.. well--apparently this is a false premise, according to bart ehrman.. _____.

I am enjoying reading Bart Erhman's book Misquoting Jesus. I'm about a third of the way through and looking forward to finishing that book. -

I do not think DA is playing into their game. You are the one walking away. It's your choice. It's your life. When you DA or get DF, they leave you alone. Throw in a hint of apostasy and they will run from you. LOL. Trust me, I know. the JW's don't F*ck with me, not even my family. Not once have I got a text, email, phone call, brochure, daily text, or anything reminding me to come back to Jehovuh.
Yeah, you lose some people, but its a cult. Friendship and family bond was always conditional, and it will always be conditional. It's a cancer than need to be eliminated in order the move on and be truly content and happy. -

TV.JW.ORG (September 2015) - Generation explained again
by Designer Stubble inguess the overlapping generation concept is difficult for most to comprehend.
david spane does his best to explain it again.
the cutoff date for this generation has now moved to 1992 (was once 1935), the year that fred franz died.

I'm sure Sanderson started partaking 10 minutes before FWF died. -

Did Jesus not say: “Therefore, when you catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken about by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place (let the reader use discernment), 16 then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains."?????
I suppose that this also happened in 1914 because Jesus clearly stated that "Likewise also you, when you see all these things (mentioned in Matt 24) , know that he is near at the doors.
David, you have some more 'Splaining to do, for argument sake.

When is a commandment ever worded with "IF"?
by Israel Ricky Gonzales inacts 15:28 for the holy spirit and we ourselves have favored adding no further burden to you except these necessary things: 29 to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from what is strangled, and from sexual immorality.
if you carefully keep yourselves from these things, you will prosper.
good health to you!.

I just found it odd that such a serious command to abstain from certain activities contains the qualifier "if". I no longer base my beliefs on "if....then..." argumentation. Just my thoughts tho.
and I never bought into the whole "good health to you" part either.
