5 years, Turning 1000
by baltar447 ini didn't want to waste post # 1,000 on arguing with someone, so i just wanted to celebrate my five years on jwn and two years of active posting.
in that time, i've gone from being a believer to fading hard core and taking my wife and kids with me.
i credit this site with being instrumental in our leaving.

Charlie Brown: I'm Baltar's wife & I go by Cylon on another site. LOL!!! I LOVE YOU TOO! :D :p
I just want to thank you guys for being here. Seriously, without other people who've been through it, leaving could have been so much harder for us.

Any ex-jw action on Google plus?
by Norcal_Sun ini have a google + account and a facebook account.
it seems that there are a lot of ex-jw facebook groups but i am wary of joining them since i have a lot of dubbie friends still.
google+ seems to have a better contact management system where you have different "circles" of friends who can never see each other (i am aware that facebook has a similar thing, but apparently its not foolproof).. so is there any ex-jw happenings on google+ ?.

Kingdom Hall Libraries just for beating kids.....isn't this Child abuse?
by Witness 007 inyeah no "sunday school" for our kids because it's too "christendom" for us, so our 5 year old's need to sit thru watchtowers on masturbation etc.. when they get bored or wriggle too much.....out to the library!!!!
is it child abuse to force kids to sit thru an adult meeting for 2 hours...and beat them when they can't?.

It's certainly not normal to expect a 5 yr old (or younger!) to sit through that crap. As for hitting the kid, yes, definitely abuse.

circumcision...sheesh!
by stillin ini was at the congregation bible study recently (aka "book study") which has been expounding in depth regarding the 1st century's unbelievable resemblance, in organizational terms, to our modern-day governing body and how big decisions are made now.
surprise!
it's exactly like it is supposed to be, according to the bible!.

I am HUGELY anti-circ. My boys are both intact and so is my husband. Interestingly, my stand on circumcision came about when my little brother was born in 1989 (I was almost 12) and no doc would cut. I'm still unsure of the reasons, but whatever. One less mutilation is a good thing. So whether my husband had been for or against is irrelevent to me because I would never put my child through such a cruel & barbaric practice. It was nice to have support, though. My in laws are also anti-circ (my bro in law had been circ'd against their wishes when he was born).
Anyway, I really like this particular thread on the topic. I'm so used to reading it from the viewpoint of moms for and moms against and it just turnes into a stupid argument.

"Feeling sorry for yourself" about being hit by your husband is not Christian 2/15/12 WT Page 25 P 12
by yourmomma inhave anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?
its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .
if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?

I completely flipped my shit when I saw this. Totally freaked out.
I'm on day 8 of a freaking migraine, so I'm not functioning well at the moment, but I will be looking into making this available to local domestic violence shelters as well as National agencies and seeing what happens. This is NOT ok. THIS SHIT is why my mother stayed.
I have to walk away form this for the moment because, if I don't, I will lose it. -

When I miscarried my daughter on the weekend of Hurricane Katrina (catastrophic devastation, for those who may be unaware), Aug 2005, one "sister" said, "Well, at least you still have your house." Another asked me, "Do you know what killed the baby? Stress. I bet it was stress." WTF?!
When my aunt (nonJW) shot herself in July 2007, my husband (who I love dearly) was just so ..... uncaring and, frankly, assholey, about it all. No concept whatsoever about what I was going through. I was in the grocery store that day when I got the call and I called him and told him, "Babe, I can't do this. I need you to come get me." He called me no less than 3 times to complain that he couldn't get the kids to cooperate and put their shoes on so he could leave. We lived a mile from the grocery store. It should have taken him only minutes to be there for me. When I'd grieve some weeks later, he tried to come in and get me to get over it. Very irritating. Ok, I'm clearly still pissed about that.

I need black & brown boots for winter. Black & Brown flip flops for summer. DRESSY flip flops. Casual boots. Dressy boots. Sneakers. Open toe. Close toe. Ballet flats. Heels. Those are my basics. I also need colors... And different styles work with different outfits.
Every shoe has a purpose.

Weird things JWs can't own or wear
by lilbluekitty inalso posted on the yuku forum.. i thought it might be amusing to make a list of things i remember when i was a dub that we couldn't have or own or wear.
(some of these things vary by where you live, in other places dubs have them, it just depends).
obviously the list goes on forever, but feel free to add things.

JustThatGirl007
Yup, LilBlu is right (we grew up in neighboring congs). Ohhhhh, the JOY I got from wearing flip flops to the memorial one year! LOL (I was pregnant and didn't give a damn. It's all about comfort, baby.)
