Why use JDub or field circus? Thats just what people do,… use humor to make the best of a less than ideal situation.

Interview with a UBM
by jgnat ini've been meaning to build this survey for some time.
built on simon's great survey template for "apostates", this survey is especially for "unbelieving mates" or simply those who may be dating or falling in love with their jehovah's witness (jw).. if you are interested in my story, the link below will have to do for now:.

Which sounds more awkward: 'my unbelieving mate' or 'my JW'?
It was obvious to me every time jgnat referred to her husband as 'my JW' it was done tounge in cheek and with affection. I did not personally find it funny after the 50th time but it make sense in context. It was likely done to draw attention to how silly it is to refer to ones spouse as an 'unbelieving mate'.

So if "parents are to blame for children leaving the truth", then STEP DOWN GB!
by stuckinarut2 inif to mo's comments in the talk re "parents are to blame for children not being in the truth etc", (and yes, as many have already very nicely pointed out that this must therefore imply that "jehovah is to blame for satan and the angels rebelling"), doesn't this mean then that members of the gb need to step down?.
haven't some of the gb got family that are not "in the truth"?.
hypocrites yet again!.

BTTT / Marked topics
by Simon ini've noticed a lot of topics being bumped recently with "bttt" (back to the top) comments or "marked" as the reply.. i'd appreciate if people think twice before doing this.
simply forcing topics back to the top even though there is nothing to say on them is not helpful and negates the usefulness of having an active topics view.
if everyone did this with every topic they want to push then things would quickly deteriorate so i don't believe some should be allowed to do it for whatever reason.. by all means post new and relevent comments to a topic but short esp single-word non-comments that are simply used to push certain topics back to the top are likely to be interpreted as spam and removed or blocked if necessary.. .

The last step
by Borges init is now almost six years since i left the witnesses.
many things have happened in the meantime.
in the beginning, right after i found out that i had been raised in a cult and all the fairytales ive been told for so many years were just this- fairytales, i had the strong urge to do something.
