My Motives For Denouncing Homophobia and Bigotry
by PublishingCult ini just want to be clear on this.
some have attributed my motives for denouncing homophobia and bigotry to my being gay.
some have come to the conclusion that i must be gay for shouting down the homophobes and bigots on this board.

The Loving Disfellowshipping Arrangement
by headisspinning inmy youngest sister is the only person in my jw family who has had any real contact with my husband and i and our baby.
for the first year she cut us off too but then after a while she seemed to realize how horrible it was and she opened up to us.. well, she is very easily influenced by the family and so she cut us off again.
she tried to feed me the line about it being for our own good blah, blah, blah.. here is an excerpt from how i replied:.

I was shocked when I found out the WT lied about what other people believe the trinity is....but how would a JW ever know...they are not to read other writings.....keep them in the dark and you can say anything.......Trust them they know everything....NOT Sherry

Am I the only one who felt sorry for adam and eve?
by Joliette inthe witnesses always blame everything on adam and eve (besides satan).
for some reason, when i used to look at the my book and bible stories when i was little, i used to feel bad for adam and eve?
its kinda like getting mad at a baby for making a mistake.

Russell must have been teaching that because I believe the Bible Students still teach Adam will be in the new system. That Jesus died for him also. When they changed the teaching I don't know , but I think it was Rutherford... who kicked him out!

Assemblies
by finnrot ini was raised a jehovahs witness from birth, but even as a little child i had my doubts.
that's why i was never baptized.
i believed in jehovah but i just thought it was somehow a load of bullshit.

One assembly in Chicago, 1968 or 69 I was 14 or 15 yrs old. i got so bored I left and went to the zoo all by myself. The next day I was still bored so I went walking around outside..........met another bored Jw boy......he asked me to go back to his parents hotel room where it was cool
and we could talk (I know that was stupid ).....well we did kiss a little ( he was really cute ) I had hopes that maybe he could end up being my BF...well he got mad because I wouldn't have sex with him.....he called for a hotel limo and the driver drove me back...I never heard from him again. I was lonely..
and just wanted to have some FUN.... I guess he wanted something else....lol I was semi bad , he was totally a bad bad boy and not a gentleman!
There was a group of young JW....16 and 17 they never included me because I was too young.......The worldly kids didn't think so......so thats where I
got my friends......They treated me better than any teenage JW ever did.....what a stuck up group (JW ) that was.....Now I'm glad they were! I too loved the material food provided by the rank & file lol sorry about my typing Sherry
