fwiw, the longest hike Ron and I ever did was a 10 mile loop. I was dog tired at the end of that. I limit my hiking now to our annual (ish) pilgrimage to DisneyWorld.

Hi - I'm new here!
by Flicka ini have been lurking on this site for the past 2 months.
for the past few years i have been going to the meetings and doing fieldservice out of guilt.. my husband (twisty) told me regularly i only do it out of guilt but i denied it and said it i want to do these things because i love jehovah and it is the right thing to do, but how can it be the right thing if you don't feel welcome and it feels like everyone is judging you the moment you walk into the kingdom hall.. it has taken a few years and a lot of tears to open my eyes.. over the past few years twisty spoke to me about the various things he didn't agree with but it just went over my head.
a few months ago we were lying in bed and he brought up his concerns again, and i'm not sure what was different this time but i understood and agreed with the points he was making.

I asked myself the same question in reference to my colleagues at work. I was hired in 1996, and the next new person hired was in 2004. I was assigned to train him - he has a kid older than me. Weird. After 15 years, I'm just now feeling like an old-timer there.

"We are not allowed to have credit cards."
by OnTheWayOut ini was traveling and used my credit card to buy a gift at the airport.. so the lady behind the counter flips my credit card over to look at the signature and it says "see i.d.
" where my signature belonged.
she asked for the i.d.. .

depressed and starting to loose it
by raxxxx insooo... it has been a few good months since i started having doubts and started researching.
now very much convinced i had been lied to and my parents had not done their homework prior being baptised therefore it fucked up my future ... just a bit.
now also had been going out with a jw girl for 1,5 years... and i am starting to loose it... stuck in a lie, delaying the getting engaged because of my attitude towards religion(she knows i had doubts and always have been anti watchtower - got baptized anyway... stupid me - but she doesn't make a big deal out of it... she is not very strong spiritually) ergo i know i am not fit to be head of the house by jw standards... but i just love her too damn much to break her heart by leaving the organization and ergo leaving her.

Let her decide for herself whether she wants you or the religion. She may choose you and be perfectly happy with that choice - or it may all fall to pieces, but that can happen to any couple. Your responsibility is to be honest and live your life authentically, and let her do the same.

Do you feel sorry for those that are still in.
by jam inat one time i felt my jw famliy members hated me.
because i turn my back on the cult.. today i feel sorry for them and it,s not hate they.
feel.. they way i see it, first of all it,s frustrating serving a. god that you can never please, serving a god that.

I encountered this at my door with some JWs who insist Judas wasn't present for the Last Supper. John implies and Luke outright states that Judas was present when the bread and wine were blessed and passed. However, the JW version is that Judas left beforehand. They give their timeline and jump around in the Gospels to get the scriptures they want in the order they want them in. They similarly jump around in Mat 24 to get the order of events they want. JWs don't even bat an eyelash the blatant lies, because they're relying on the Watchtower to dumb it down for their defective, idiotic brains to slowly digest.
This point is one of the main things that really bothered my husband. It really highlighted for him how the WTBTS was not honest about what the bible actually says.
