  Hell no.

  I have been asked by third parties to do that very thing for the sake of peace. Funny, how they wouldn't ever consider eating shit themselves if they were not at fault.

  Is There Other Sites Many Members Are Bailing To? M.I.A JWN People, where did they go?

  since i joined the forum i noticed more than a few people have not been posting, what is going on?

  i received a couple of emails from other groups asking me to join their new forms with a promised technology, i wondered how they got my email address and thought it be strange.. .

  people during the first year of a great change might post daily to any support chat or message board they feel is going to aid them.

  I have observed that since the U.S. elections of '08 and '10 there has been a large contingent of posters who could care less about the XJW aspect of the forum in order to stake out and cheerlead their personal political positions. This has become somewhat of a circus side show and has generated a lot of typical anonymous internet, in your face, posting.

  Considering the international variety of posters I would not be surprised if many have decided to move on. A couple of well respected posters here have withdrawn completely and made no secret that they were stressed by the site.

  It is really nothing to worry about. Big J will take care of the details. You will know the moment after you drop dead.

  Jeremiah book study material for this week makes a horrible point!

  by stillin in

  while discussing how jeremiah was an encouragement to some of those around him, and how christians today can likewise be encouraging to depressed ones, the book plainly says, "when it is appropriate, offer encouraging words.

  you will not have a divine revelation to offer to the one needing encouragement, yet you can include positive thoughts from the word of god, thoughts that focus on what the future holds.".

  i'm sorry but this to me seems to be what is at the core of the problem with witness friendships.

  I can't even imagine the discouragement of a depressed person to be approached by a JW pod person offering their stale palaver.

  did anyone else do this on sunday mornings: when i was slowly waking up i realised that i didnt want to be at the meetings anymore, my hubby would be sleeping and i realised it was time to get up & get ready, so even though i was bursting for the loo i would hold it so as not to wake him up .

  sometimes i was in pain holding it in , but waited till it was too late to get there on time lol.

  then he would suggest going to the afternoon meeting intead and i would say i didnt like that congregation...you go hahahahaha, funny thing is he never liked going to the meetings by himself!!!

  The moment of tension I'll never forget as a kid is when the Public talk concluded and we had a 15 minute recess before the WT study. I knew my parents had about a 30% average for ducking out at the break. I never knew because they would act nonchalant, maybe even mingling and chatting for a few minutes. I kept my eye on them like a cat watching a bird, waiting for the moment my mother would either pick up her coat or go back to her seat. When we split before the WT study it was a feeling of freedom and joy.

  Sex before marriage would eliminate a lot of unhappy marriages in the Borg...

  by sinis in

  sensible, safe sex, in my opinion, should be engaged in.

  because, as you get older and are ready to settle down, you will look at your potential sole mate, not for sexual reasons, but for what they have to offer mentally and if they are compatible.

  when religion restricts this, and yuo must marry to have sex, i believe that you doom a marriage at the outset, because these young folks marry out of lust, only to have the rose colored blinders pulled off later, and regret the entire arrangement... .

  Finally awake - your comments are spot on! I wish there was a like button.

  actually there is a "like button". Once it has been found and one has gotten familiarized with it, ...gently, gently... it can make all the difference in the success of the encounter.

  Spend time with soothing massages and exploring. Watching porn can distract from what you already have and need to focus on.

  I remember going to elders school over 30 years ago and one entire session was about cleaning up old business with those who had drifted. "Officially in or officially out!" was the theme of the discussion. We were to hunt down (ambush) the miscreants and put them on the spot. It actually reactivated a couple people who didn't want to upset JW familiy ties. Most others said in so many words, "do what you need to do..."

  Your own mortality, how do you cope with it?

  i've been a lurker here and an inactive jw for a number of years.

  i've always had some annoying doubts but brushed it aside but over the last few years i've had time to "think" away from the wt.

  perhaps there is no paradise, maybe no god and this life is all there is.
