On rare occasions we all get a chance to do something amazing. Something with the potential to make a real difference.

That is where you are at and you are doing it.

Sending a warm hug to you through the internet.

To Scully--A Tribute!

by Atlantis in

if you are a new person to the board you might want to send scully a pm thanking her for her hard work and dedication.

the boe project owes her for helping it to get started.. example:.

several years ago there was a website called (dirtclod.com) who had the courage to display the boes right out in front of everybody.

Is there a double awesome category?

Love ya Scully and thank you for this great thread Atlantis!

JW Rumspringa

by SonoftheTrinity in

are jehovah's witnesses on their way to practicing amish style rumspringa?

basically pushing young people out into the world and seeing who comes back with their faith intact.

after so many generations of discouraging education, it seems like an easy way to ensure that there are some educated born-ins.

JW leaders feel very threatened by young men.

If you want to see a good example of it, watch a young man try to rise in the ranks.

He either has to be connected to powers that be

Be super pioneer/spiritual

Brown nose to the ultimate degree

so even though i don't drive much because public transit is so good where i live (and parking is a living nightmare), i always had a paper taped onto my glove box that said "no blood transfusions - jehovahs witness.

see legal documentation in wallet.

going through this "wake up" process as been a very crazy, emotional experience.

Hi stephanie ,I really admire that you are taking the time to pay attention to all those little steps we all go through in going from all the way "in" to all the way "out" of this religion. There sure are a lot of them arent there?

So many good points have already been presented here by other posters but I wanted to share something with you that shocked me personally.

Right after I began fading, I had a chance to talk with an elder I knew to be very discreet and very up on all things Org.

He was the one who told me that he had been shocked when the Society began backing off ever so slightly on their blood policy. The way it stands now, if a baptized person takes blood, the elders dont have to be automatically harsh with them judicially. In some cases, it can just be handled very quietly.

While it is true that this is no rip roaring change in doctrine, it IS a sign that the Org is in the beginning stages of waffling on their blood policy.

So what that tells me is - I am NOT going to risk my life and perhaps lose it only to find out later that they changed the policy in a "new light" moment.

There have been too many times they reverse themselves to entrust something as serious as a life and death decision to them.

I am glad I had that conversation. Not having access to an elders manual (being a lowly woman and all) I wouldnt have known if I hadnt accidentally come across the fact in a conversation.

Gossiping

by Sabin in

jw
friends

so last night we had some friends around for dinner, (not jw) & it was a really wonderful evening.

we talked about a variety of subjects, just had a laugh & drunk wine & beer.

this morning my husband & i were talking about how nice it was, how free we felt with our opinions.

millie210

This is an interesting thread, it seems from all the comments, that gossip is the normal state of being for a JW.

I think perhaps this is because of the way we were conditioned by the religion itself.

When you tell someone that they are in an elite group and the rest of the world is in darkness, non elite and grubby sinners, you encourage judging.

Once you have fed and raised that trait in people, how can you tell where it will/wont pop up?

So as a result, Gods "people" (as they fancy themselves being) are the most judgmental people on earth. All gossip is judgmental in nature. Its the foundation.

Stands to reason they would use it on each other too.

genuine english guy seeking jw lady

by english_gentleman in

hi, i believe that a lady is put on earth to satisfy the needs of her partner and respect his views in all matters.. i realize some here may consider that old fashioned and not based on sexual equality.. yet a lady and man are not created equal because the lady gives birth and the man must sire many children.

if you are a lady under 30 and keen to meet me, willing to cook and breed, then please message me here.

please do not contact me if you disagree with my views, we can agree to differ.

millie210

Well this thread has been loads of fun to read!
