some must not think it so terrible...they like to go to an isolated tropical places and beaches and go naked.
I think some people also like to pick on God himself. Free will allows that.

Was PARADISE really paradise?
by Terry inparadise.
was it really paradise to be in paradise?
adam and eve never were held by a mother, never cuddled and sung to with a lullaby nor nursed or coddled with tenderness or any human familial embrace.

Leaving JW - My own experience
by joao inas some of you may know, i disassociated myself from wt$ last april.
and i did it in the noisiest way i could find: i wrote my disassociation letter and made sure to send it to all elders of the two congregations in my town and to all jws whose email address i possessed.
i knew this would bring loads of issues because my wife was in as well as our younger daughter.

I just wish I had been more patient and took time to do as you did before I wrote myself out. At least it may have drawn attention and some people may have been jolted. I did find a couple I talked to and sent emails to just dug in their heels defending the lies.
If anyone who is pimo and decides to leave, I hope you will do it with a lot of prior letter writing to everyone you have an address for. ( hopefully all at one mailing )

Yet another mo' money video!
by nowwhat? in(in the what's new section) apparently jehovah is still failing to provide the necessary funds so have to beg and petition men for support even though we said we'd never do that!.
new angle, if you want to make friends with jehovah and jesus we need more of your unrighteous riches .
apparently jehovah is in the protection racket now.

Virgin or whore complex that Witnesses have made my married life difficult!
by Witness 007 inso was a virgin when i got married but my wife studied later in life and had been married for 6 months and had two boyfriends in her past.
my strict witness mother hated my wife and thought she was not good enough for me.
she thought all worldly women were dirty whores who cannot keep their vaginas to themselves.

there was a Brother in a Hall I used to go to who seemed to get off on giving the talks about sex..( and he had a very jealous wife...she told one sister that another sister there should have a scarlet A on her forehead -just needlessly jealous! or maybe not since he got off on giving those sex talks.)

Another congregation closed
by hoser in15 years ago there were 5 congregations now there is only one and it is still struggling.
congregations closing their doors doesn’t mean business is good.
it looks like this last one to fold had no young witnesses, they either left the religion or moved.

a question in my mind is, are they closing because of the consolidation of halls, or the lack of people at meetings? I think it is consolidation...have people drive longer distances. I think the closing is about Money. I know of new halls that were built with less then 50 usually attending...I started out in such places. I wonder what the attendance would have to be for them to say sell! I think it is sad for those who still believe to have the local places they worked to build, paid for, and kept up to be sold out from under them...they were scammed in order for org to get control.

FedUpJW as to cost of the assemblies had continued...I remember reading or watching a video, at all in circuits are assessed a seat cost if you will. I always wondered how come every assembly there would be an announcement on how the expenses for that assembly had not been met. JW owned the building and it was occupied most weekends, so with all the people and donations, how much does it cost to keep the utilities and upkeep of this building? It was a scam from the beginning as to what I remember being told when they were planning to build the assembly hall in Salisbury NC. We lived 4.5 hours away. (I pulled my elbow out of place working down there ) The story went like this...we would own the building so the circuit would save money by not having to rent National Guard Armories or civic centers. So the circuit was asked to pool manpower and money to help build this. We went from traveling 1-2 hours to a meeting place to 4.5 hours. (meaning motels for sure) I was told that building was paid for and more at or before the finish. They sold off enough plots around the property to help with that. So I was surprised when we get to this place all bought, built, paid for had high expenses...I know this experience isn't unique to me.

they don't beg for money...they just tell you to give in order to be God's friend. more like extortion! Emotional blackmail! and you can just sign up so a monthly donation goes in without you thinking about it...but you should think about it every so often so you can raise the levels if you make more money. There was a time I thought my donations went to a good use. I thought they went in and rebuilt homes of the friends after disasters ( then learned they wanted the insurance money!) Now so much is going for lawsuit with victims. It's good to be awake!

Lifetime Regret for Not Expressing my Love to a Non-JW
by a-JW-girl ini want to impart some advice from my life experience that i hope will help others in a similar situation and prevent them from making the same mistakes i did, ruining my life.
to begin with, i’m a 52-year-old single woman, i’ve been a devout jw since i was a little girl.
i had an abusive dad who left my mom, my two sisters and me when we were fairly young.

Personally I would never trust a married person who was willing to be treacherous with an existing mate. It they would throw that person over for you, then they would throw you over for their next flame. Instead of regrets, you might consider you dodged a bullet. ( and that person wouldn't trust you either knowing you were willing to break up a marriage ) -

if you are inclined to write him, I would first try to find out if he is still married. You also wrote how he cried when he thought his wife was cheating and said he didn't want to lose her. You of course know what you sensed, but I don't think he had the feelings for you that you think, It may be he just thought you a safe companion because he thought you had principles. As to marrying someone you grew to love over time and they you...I can speak to that...it turned out a nightmare! All this being said, if you find him free, go ahead and write ...nothing ventured, nothing gained. My sister had a boyfriend when she was 14 and Daddy broke it up. She had another Man friend ( I think she was 16 and he in his thirties ) and my Aunts took her to another state to break it up. Fast forward over 30 years and he meets Mom on the street and he inquires of her and Mom gives him contact info. He sends for her. They live together until he dies and he left her with a home and a little money. She is sad and sick and alone and the first man she dated when she was 14 learned about her situation from family members and he invited her to church. They married...not for long because she ended up with lung cancer and died. I just think it interesting the full circle she made with these to men from her youth.
