Hi, gold...
Since I began this thread I feel obligated to answer your question(s).
My faith in the Organization began to waver around October, 2001.
I told my wife about the doubts that I was having and she made it clear that she would "not leave Jehovah for anything!" I also talked to an elder about my feelings. I've even confided with close friends (JW's) about why I felt the way I felt. Each individual that I have spoken to have ALL given the standard response of, "Where else is there to go? Who else is doing the preaching work?"
Anyway, I'm still active and attending because I know that, once I stop attending, my marriage will most likely end.
Even though her love will turn off like a light switch (if she deems that I am an "apostate"), I still love her enough to not rob her of her "happiness" of being a JW.
When I have enough money saved I will then take my stand. That way, if my wife asks me to leave, I will be able to live on my own. (We have been married for 10 years and we have come to depend on two incomes).
Another reason why I'm still "in" is because a "Sister" helped me get my current job. It's a great company with a strong reputation and I make loads of money. However, I'm a Contractor. This Sister can influence the company's decision to keep me or let me go. So, as long as I appear to be in good standing in the Org, then I have a great chance to become permanent at my company. Once I become permanent, my exit of the Org can proceed.
These are my primary reasons for enduring the meetings.

ok you slutty and independent slobs, pay attention.
how many instances of loaded language and mind-control techniques can you spot in the following article from the may 2002 km?
whoever gets the most wins a brown suit from goodwill.. modesty in dress and grooming- km may 2002.
If a woman wears a pant suit (considered to be professional dress in the working world), is she disrespecting Jehovah?
If so, maybe a loyal JW can explain how.
Is that the world of a Checker game piece?
the stars are in alignment.. the time is right.. this weekend will change the world.. i just love to make prophecys, it reminds me of someone i know!.
"failure to respond to the direction of the organization indicates a rejection of divine rulership"---[2/15/1976,p.124].
"jehovah's witness are not infallible or inspired prophets."[5/15/1976,p.297].
Are you sure you did not mean April 18th???
no teaching in the bible is clearer, more consistent, than the one which teaches that women are inferior to men.
below i show that it is taught that the woman was created from man, for man, that man is the glory of god, but woman is not.
furthermore, the evangelist paul says that he'll not abide women teaching men, and he refers to genesis to explain why.
Joseph, you look a lot like David Letterman.
1. see how many words i could make out of the assembly theme and/or yearly text.. 2. try to guess which section would have the next person get up to go the the bathroom.. 3. stare at cute guys.. 4. get up, pretend i was going to the bathroom, roam the halls and stare at cute guys.. 5. try to see how long i could hold my breath.
6) Watching the airplanes fly over Veteran's Stadium.
7) Watching the squirrel run through people legs.
8) Laughing at the Attendants who have to sit on the field (on chairs) in 95 degree weather in their SUITS (the field temperature can be about 140 degrees).
9) Pretending that the Phillies were playing a game.
hello, i am new to this website, but have to be straightforward and say that i do not agree with most subjects and contents.
i am an active jehovah witness, but i am very lonely so i am looking for others with the "hope" or to speak to those that know someone that does.
it has been a long , hard road for me.
7,000,000 JW's???
New light! New light!
By the way, hello lotus.
make up a word for how you felt saturday afternoons at 3:42 during district assemblies.
mine is.
aggsniffilated.
I can't come up with a good word but at 3:42 I would look up at the ceiling and count the tiles and the lights (circuit assembly only).
If I was at Veterans Stadium I would put on my overly big shades, looking like Ray Charles, and doze off between applauses.
Hey, Fred!
Are you going to take this abuse from a mouse?!?
