  Alternatives to JWs

  by Xander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since there are new people coming to this board on fairly regular basis with questions about the jw religion, i thought i'd pose this topic.. many, upon leaving the organization, don't really know where to turn for guidance.

  "look to yourself" doesn't really cut it when you've been told how to think your whole life.. many choose atheism, which is fine.

  however, for those still looking for a religion, here is a site that lists many of the worlds major religious movements.

  Anyone Remember The Chaperone Thing?

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  back when i was a lusty young lad of 17, a certain sister caught my eye - i swear that she could make her eyelashes beckon - and i duly decided to pay court to said sister.. however, it was not to be so simple.

  round about that time, it would have been mid-60's, the wtbts were having a real downer on anyone who wore a short skirt (not me), danced the twist or grew their hair (me) over their ears.. but, the worse thing was still to come.

  folks, i am talking about chaperoning!

  British JWs ignoring the GB.

  by dmouse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when we have american jw relatives visit they are frequently shocked at the difference between how they live their lives and how jws over here live.

  its almost as if we are from two different religions.. that divide seems to be getting wider.

  i have noticed in the past two or three years a noticeable relaxation among british jws.
