Does having priveleges in the congregation mean you will have a successful marriage?
by hoser inafter reading about tight pant tony's rant about sisters only marrying ministerial servants lest their marriage will be a failure what anecdotal evidence do you have to support this.
the divorces that i am familiar with in the congregation show me that having priveledges in the congregation do not improve the odds of a better marriage.
i would say about 60% of the divorces had at least one spouse who was a pioneer, elder or ministerial servant.

Going on the OFFENSIVE
by Coded Logic inthe wtbts has an easy time painting x-witnesses as apostates because the direction of information is entirely one way.
and jws rarely get an opportunity to consider both sides of the equation for themselves.
i think that websites like this one are a great tool for those who are already questioning their beliefs or are already entirely out.

I had business cards printed up and give them out and post them everywhere I go. They cost me about $43 and that is double sided with color logo and shipping. You can design your own on these websites that print business cards.
Mine have the blue logo I lifted off the jwfacts.com website. watchtowerdocuments.org, jwsurvey.com are listed along side jwfacts.com.
I also had this printed on the back:
Jehovah's Witnesses will be calling soon!
Don't let them fool you.

Apple Cider Vinegar
by poppers ini've been drinking 1 tbs with a glass of water twice daily for digestion for about 3 weeks now.
i've found it helps, but it also acts as an appetite suppressant; i've lost several pounds since using it.
i'm consuming fewer calories because i'm just not as hungry as before.

Saturday morning field service is a joke
by hoser ini havent been going door to door saturday mornings for since i can't remember when.
i have been putting in regular reports to the congregation but the last time i actually went on a door was probably six months ago or so and it has been at least 2 years since i did a saturday morning.
9:30 we showed up to the group arrangement, we waited outside because we were not sure that it was the right place.

I always ended up in the third row of someone's mini van with about 8 other people. There would be so many return visits that were not at home, that is all you do is ride from one end of the territory to the other, with a long break at Dunkin Donuts.

Why do you come here?
by love2Bworldly ini come here to learn, but i also come here because it feels like a private club and i'm privy to be a member of the "in" crowd.
it's a great place to socialize.
does anyone else feel that they are a member of a special "club" when they come here, that only some people in this world will understand the jw world?.

Leaving the organization was so, so traumatic for me. I want to just be here for others, going through the same thing.
I feel like I spent my whole life prostelitizing for JW, now I have to help undo the lies I told going door to door.
