men talking utter rubbish and women nodding and going along.. .
pretending that all the things you don't do that makes life enjoyable for others makes you better than them.. .
explaining things you don't quite understand to others who don't much care and counting that as time well spent.. .
You missed the most important...when I was active there were a lot of nice girls in the congregations. If you can stand the JW lifestyle you will have a lot of women to pick and chose from.
But I think that the same could be sait about a "normal" church aswell.
in a talk i heard recently, the brother was talking about how jws had certain expectations about the end, acknowledging 1914, 1925, surely before 1935 and 1975, then we learned that it's not in our jurisdiction to know jehovah's timetable.
then he said, some say that because we made those mistakes, some say jws are false prophets.
he said that was "simplistic thinking".
OK, Leaving quietly..thats fine! Read it if you want. But the importat thing is to understand that the bible, christianity is just plain bullshit! If this book helps you understand that, it's fine reading it! Otherwise....you can do something that you like and fin interesting. I myself think that reading WT-litterature is a waste of our precious lifetime.
what is the gospel according to jesus and his apostles?
how different is it from the one jws preach?
and why is it different?
Excellent Tater-T
"
It's better if you don't know... no news is Good news LOL
This is probably the most importat and logical statement made on this board. If christians really want to save lives.....just shut up.

last sunday's public talk was about tools the devil uses to tear down our faith, and as usual; apostacy, false teaching and erroneous thinking came up in the point, and the speaker went on and on, accusing apostates of being perverts and aspiring to live a life of debauchery which couldn't be tolerated amongst jehovah's people.. he further went on stating that if eventually apostates get into the world, they often find themselves not being able to mix up with satan's system as a result of the bible based understanding which they had acquired, and they ended up getting bitter and wasting their lives .
those words were quite frightenning, i never heard it this strong before!!
"After my seperation, I had a constant flow of sisters in my bedroom."
Ha ha ha..that sounds interesting!

The wankers are from a sign-language video made by the WTS! Gain victory over masturbation!
The deaf communty have had a lot of fun with that video!

The good news is that 99,9% of the earths population will be slaughtered! The difference is whether we are going to hell or not!
seriously?...how sillier can these people get...i have completely faded and stopped going for 6 months now...they never ever called me to say hi while i was there or when i recently stopped going.... then now all of a sudden the memorial is here and they want to call me?
how about trying to get their attendance up or fill in some numbers.... i can only lmao at this cult...satan has these jw's by the neck.... so sad....
Hmm..I just got one thought. Many times (a lot of years) my step-father (who is the PO in a congregation) called me and wanted me to check out the exact time of sundown on the memorial night. So, in his congregation it was an apostate that set the time-table for the memorial!
He is a nice man, so of course he got the right timing.

Persecution????? Bullshit! He told them not to have families because the world would come to it's end. In that whole chapter 7 you don't see a word about persecution. That other stuff is just lies from apologists.

Have a look at this! Paus wrote to the Corinthians not to get married or raise a family, because the world was coming to its end.
1 Cor 7:
27 Are you pledged to a woman? Do not seek to be released. Are you free from such a commitment? Do not look for a wife. 28 But if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.
29 What I mean, brothers and sisters, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they do not; 30 those who mourn, as if they did not; those who are happy, as if they were not; those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep; 31 those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away.
So even Paul was a false prophet.....or..did he just have wrong expectations?
so i started going to church with her, and bible studies at her home.
in hindsight.... i found out that she made these moves a few days later when i showed up to her family's house for the study.
i stopped going to our church.
I have talket to some christian women on different forums. Many of them seem to live a life full of inner conflicts between their real personalities and the church. Many of them are very frustrated and tent do be desperate in one way or another.
Probably she projected her own frustration on you, at least she put the blame on you to make herself look better in her parets eyes.
Religion and love/sexuality can be really complicated and destructive.
Some years ago there was a study indicating that Mormons and JW's felt the most guilt over their own sexuality, and that non-believers felt least guilt.
