I have a friend who is 48- and she married a guy who is 26. I think it is weird- almost motherly- yet if a guy does it- somehow its "ok". I love having my husband older than I am- 15 years- I can be young & playful- he can be older & wiser. Somewhere we meet in the middle & both enjoy it! :-)

In my "circuit" there was a girl BARELY 18 that married a man that was 66!!!!!!!!!!! Her father wasn't even in his 40's! The guy had GRANDCHILDREN that were older than her! My grandpa married someone 20 years younger than him. Yes, with the slim pickins' you have to choose from- age is the LEAST of your worries! In my old hall- my mom calls & tells me of all the young people getting married- they are all barely 18! When I was "in" they frowned upon early weddings, wait till you're older, so it isn't about sexual urges, choose the right mate, pioneer first- blah blah blah blah. (I did marry someone 15 years older than me- but wasn't witness related-lol)

SEX SEX SEX SEX & MORE SEX
by Perfection Seeker inok, now that i have your attention................................... it seems like most of the witnesses i know, and who have posted here, say their parents kept them in the dark about sex.
do you agree?
my parents never discussed it at all- in fact- if they did- or saw a love scene on tv- my mom would always say "thats disgusting' (yeah, right mom) .

Does anyone here workout on a regular basis?
by Leander ini just wanted to get a little dialog going with some of the members here who workout.
i know reborn works out quite a bit and i've been doing fairly well as of recently in getting back into a regular exercise regimine.
so far i've worked out everyday for the past 17 days, i usually try to do weight training at least 3-4 times a week and i usually do some cardio everyday.

Just started riding 20-40 miles a day on the bike. TRYING to get in shape- but the immediate benefit is more energy, being outside, weigh loss would be an additional bonus! ;-)

We need a little controversy !
by lucidentity init is always interesting to note the blasphemy and the be-littling of higher powers.
how dare you all question god?
how dare you all think that with your puny little brains you have conquered the mysteries and understandings of life?

Lucidentity- Just a question- if you are planning on making things right with Jehovah & the organization, why are you here at this website? This is for those who have left & want the comfort & understanding of those who have been there. I would NEVER have come here if I was planning on going back. You know how the society feels about these websites.
I do know how you felt- the first time I left- it wasn't because I was against Jehovah or his teachings, but the congregation was backing me in a corner, and treating me badly- and I just wanted out!
I don't think anyone in here tries to get those who are happy to leave the organization. If you are happy, great for you! It didn't work for us. We are not out mass emailing people. This site is to vent & talk. Thats what we do :-) I am new on here- but I have found alot of great comfort from the others- which I was unable to get from other friends who just didn't understand.People in here hate the ORGANIZATION, not Jehovah (For the most part) When I was a witness, I smoked, drank, had very very bad thoughts, did bad things. When I left- I became a good christian. Cleaned up my act, pray more, study more- I just don't sign on the dotted line to the organization anymore.
If you are happy- great! Its a personal choice- everyone has to do what their hearts tell them.
Good luck in your journey!Melissa

Lots of Jehovah Bashing in Here
by Perfection Seeker ini think when people leave the organization, they lump it all together- jehovah- religion, organization, etc.
i am not doubtful there is a god, but just doubtful that he used the wts to be his one & only means.
just wanted to say that.

Well, that wasn't as bad as I thought I would get :-) Thanks for being so nice everyone! It's just that I have a good friend who also had the same background as I did- and when she left the organization, she left God as well. She said no god would allow her to go through the torment she went through being a witness all those years. Yes, everyone has a right to believe or not believe, but in my opinion, if you stop believing in God because of that cult- they still are "winning' Just my opinion. I, too, went about 7 years before I "looked up God" again- and when I did- it felt great. Everyone has their own opinions, ideas, and are on their own time schedule. I guess its kind of like someone who gets divorced & says they will NEVER marry again. Marriage isn't bad- just picked the wrong mate- had a bad experience. Same with God. The witnesses are a VERY bad representation of him- but he's still there. In my opinion, that is :-)

Seems like alot of people have bad things to say about Jehovah in here. I don't. It's not Jehovahs fault the organization is so ****ed up. I think when people leave the organization, they lump it all together- Jehovah- religion, organization, etc. I HATED the organization & what it stood for- and thought it was a bad representation of Jehovah (God- whatever name you want to use) But, it isn't God's fault that people are screwing up in his name! Seems like ALOT of people leave the witnesses & become atheist or agnostic, or doubtful. I am not doubtful there is a God, but just doubtful that he used the WTS to be his one & only means.
Just wanted to say that. Besides that- this site is awesome! :-)
Yikes- I have a feeling I am going to get a tongue lashing on this one! BUT, Jehovah (GOD) has been WONDERFUL to me. Its those brainwashed cult people that are messed up- hard to seperate it at times, though, I know.
