i would like to ask ew-jws jw a question.

when you read the book crisis of conscience how instrumental was that book in getting you to leave the organisation.. i have a gf who is an active jw.... i by the way am wordly.

this religion thing is putting strain on our relationship.. she condems me for obtaining information about the watchtower from apostates or just about anyone who has something yo say about the org.

WT Becoming More Secular?
by crochunter in
1. jw
2. friends
i was raised in the "truth" and my mom is still very dedicated to being a witness.

i've noticed that over time, the society seems to have gotten more secular, or at least it appears so.. for example, the blood issue is now more secular, you can't be disfellowshipped.. also, being able to accept military civil service instead of going to jail.

i also read that a witness can now attend holiday celebrations with their unbelieving mate.. has anyone noticed this as well?

Children of Interfaith Marriages
by QuietOne in
1. jw
2. friends
i would be interested in anyone's stories regarding how the children were raised in interfaith marriages.

i know of several individuals (mostly men) that are married to jw women and they all seem to have different arrangements for raising their children.. in one case the father simply ignores the religion issue and the children for the most part.. in another instance there are two children one being raised as a jw and the other being raised as a chatholic.

understandibly this becomes quite an issue at birthdays and christmas.. i yet another instance the "head of the house" routine comes into play where the father has the say on everything and his say is that the children do not attend meetings or practice anything jw related.. most of these relationships are difficult at the best of times but at least the couples involved have stuck it out.
