  her intro went like this:.

  Has Anyone Seen "Prometheus"?

  by Low-Key Lysmith in

  i loved it!

  but then, it went right along with my own personal beliefs concerning mankind's origins, so i'm a little biased.. wondering what a religious person's thoughts would be?.

  A Question For the Guys...

  by Quendi in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this thread was inspired by the "a question for the ladies..." thread and anybody is welcome to post.. if you are now free and clear of the wts, how have your dress and grooming changed?

  i'll start the ball rolling by saying that i made some changes that i really like.

  i'm down to two suits and they are only for job interviews and perhaps some solemn occasion.

  My email to my mother - sorry a bit long

  by darthweef in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello - i am new here .. just joined a couple of days ago, and have enjoyed the bit of lurking that i have done.

  a breif history, i was raised as a jw, was active until i was 36, and was a regular pioneer for 7 years and a ministerial servant for 5 years, and was one when i left.

  my reasons for leaving are not important at this point, but i have spent the last year or so researching the flood and more extensively the theory of evolution.. i have finally decided to broach the topic with my mother since after all this time, the last of my jw friends and my brother and sister have all decided that they should shun me now, and i want to make a last ditch effort to convey to my mother that i didn't leave the organization so i could do lines of coke off a cheap hooker, but because i actually believe that this is not the truth.. i'd love some feedback on the email and what you think the possibility of it actually breaking through the "permafrost" created by the society.
