Well, I messaged someone on E-Harmony and she messaged me back. I did like her at first and she likes me too. We exchanged more than 10 messages till I find out yesterday that her best friend is a tarot card reader. She said she talks to her every morning on the phone. Part of me wants to forget about her. I have the feeling that I will most likely find someone else instead of sticking with her. I just want to get that off my chest.

Easier to be a JW now?

by Xanthippe in

reading konceptual's account of talking to cart 'witnesses' and it reminded me that when we left in '89 we thought the religion would do one of two things.

get more hardline, consequently lose members and eventually come to an end in some way.

or ease up on the members, fewer rules, less fs time, less meetings, just to keep them in.. all the recent apostate stuff, treatment of dfed kids and the hardline attitude to people who leave or try to fade has confused me, made me think they are harder on the r+f., but i don't think this is true.

NO! When I tried to go to field service again after being inactive for a number of years, The elders asked me all kinds of questions about what I have been doing while I am not active. It did turn me off big time.

Elder Arrest Scaremongering

by jw07 in

last week there was a meeting with all the elders and ministerial servants about responsibility in the kingdom hall and blah blah blah.. one elder brought up a scenario where all the elders were arrested, and we were asked if the meeting would still go on, and how.. this is the second time within a month that i've heard that scenario posed by an elder in my congregation.. does anyone have any idea of the trash being fed to them in letters recently?.

is this a scenario that hq is putting out there, or are the fear mongering convention videos driving their imaginations wild?.

I'm Going to Break Up with My Boyfriend Today

by LaurenM in

so like the title suggests, i'm going to break up with my boyfriend today.

it's for several reasons, but mostly because i'm not prepared for a relationship.

i need to grow and learn what it's like to be me now that i'm not a jw and learn how to love myself so i don't make the person i am with miserable.

Maybe talking to Psychotherapist might be able to help you. You are not alone.

What do you think would have happened to you if...

by LevelThePlayingField in

you found out about ttatt way back in the 70's or maybe the 80's (basically before the internet) and you thought that you were all alone in this knowledge?

what do you think would have happened to you?

no jehovahs-witness.com, no john cedars, no arc, no jwfacts.com and no crisis of conscience to fall back on.

If I had known the TTATT before the Internet, I do know that my life would be very different today. I have turned down few attractive female co workers because they are not witnesses. Well I can't change the past and all we can do is to move on!
