  Couldn't take it anymore.

  so i decided yesterday to give my wife's full disclosure.

  not sure it was the best decision considering she holds very firmly to the resurrection hope so we can see our babies again.. anyways she is agreeable to begin a study to find a better truth.

  where is a good place to go to get some good reliable biblical info on the web that we can consider together?.

  a older sister in miami florida has told me that the special pioneer couple who got their walking papers last week said they are also voting members of the watchtower society.

  also his stock share is valued at $800,000!.

  i did some research and spoke to some longtime witnesses and found out that there are 500 voting members of the society and they are also called shareholders.. has anyone ever of someone selling his share?.

  It's official - JWs have least common sense of any religious group in US

  some fascinating results in the latest pew research.

  (how did i miss this before?

  ) including that jws rely on their religion the most of any group to tell right from wrong and rely on common sense the least.

  Done4good, I agree. When I was a witness I probably would have answered 'no' to the literal question, and my reason would have been, because JW's believe the creative day was not a literal 24 hour period.

  Another thing I learned from this study: don't move to Wyoming! What the heck, 3% of people there are witnesses?? That's like, a guarantee that every class you are in in high school has a witness in it. One in 33 people?? I remember there were some small island nations with that kind of percentage. At least in Wyoming the people are few and far between...

  It's striking that 48% of witnesses make less than $30,000 a year. That doesn't leave much for the contribution box.

  3rd gen what a fabulous night!! Now I'm curious who the model is...pm me ;).

  my daughters used to get embarrassed when I would suddenly have deep 'left a cult!' discussions with strangers, but now they practically start the conversations themselves. Conversation is so much more interesting when it's not about the weather....

  Are there any references to bathing in the bible? Yes! Bathsheba bathed, and you know where that led her and the heartache it caused.

  Honestly, Do You Still Act or Think Like a JW?

  by minimus in

  or do traces or attitudes still rear its ugly head of your past involvement with the witnesses?

  I still get really really down on myself for past and present mistakes...mostly past, as im a better person now that I'm not a witness. I started a thread here (one of 2! I'm so lame!!) about the guilt I feel when I'm not perfect, and the responses helped a lot. Now I repeat this mantra when I'm feeling down on myself and it allows me to keep things in perspective:

  I'm not perfect. I will never be perfect. I will do stupid things.

  Until they're teenagers, most kids are kind of obsessed with following 'the rules', whatever those may be in their worlds. It's helpful if you can get kids and also THEIR FRIENDS to go together...friends from school, or non witness cousins. Of course to their friends, it's second nature to them and they are relaxed, and will in turn relax your 'coming out of it' kids.
