Introducing Mrs Cedars...
by cedars ini just thought you should know that mrs cedars has finally taken the plunge and joined the forum.
she was able to log on for the first time yesterday.. though we both "awakened" at different stages, mrs cedars was very supportive and non-judgmental when i first began exploring my beliefs from a critical standpoint.
she is currently in the process of reading crisis of conscience and aquainting herself with some of the facts of witness history that were hitherto unknown.

update on my boy
by Aussie Oz inmy son came to visit today, he and i are getting a lot closer since he left his jw home and thanks largely to his mother and step father alienating him big time.
he needs one of his parents to help him out at times and he can't turn to his mother.
thats sad but its her loss, and his i guess.. anyway, he recently got himself a girlfriend, a worldly girl at that.

Watchtower Library NOT identical to printed publications
by cedars ini realise the title of this thread will come as no surprise to many of you.
i've certainly heard before of subtle variations between extracts from the watchtower library and the actual printed literature.. what i didn't expect was to find this openly admitted to in the license agreement for the watchtower library, where it says in article 4:.
4. limited warranty.

" The bound volumes and YEARLY indexes from the 60s and 70s are Goldmines."
My parents made the grave mistake of keeping all volumes of the watchtower and awake from the early 50s to the 90s... and me being the inquisitive, reading type decided to read them all... yes, I read them all. And had a LOT of questions, for a small child! I was between 7-10 when this happened lol. They weren't impressed and refused to answer my questions as to why we didn't believe what the old magazines said on certain things etc. I'd already started testing the whole 'god-knows-everything-you-do' idea and the prayer thing when I was 5, and decided for myself it was a load of bullsh!t, so I guess it was only to be expected I would leave eventually!

Hi!
"Is it bad that I want to serve him his divorce papers during his meeting?"
HAHHAAA I so wanted to do that too, but I ended up trying to serve them on his lawyer myself, as they said they would accept service of them, then they refused to accept them when I got there, but charged him for it anyway. That was a tiny win. Eventually the process server found him at work, he was avoiding them at home so he wouldn't get served, the bastard.
Make sure you have proper legal advice and don't let him screw you over, I don't know what the laws are like where you live, but in Aus they are very straightforward.

Leaving Jehovah's Witnesses is NOT the same as the doctrines leaving you
by Terry inif you grow up speaking english and you move to mexico you don't automatically speak spanish, know customs, understand currency, possess skills.
for self-support or have any special insight into latino mindset.. .
why would you expect leaving jehovah's witnesses would leave you any less ill-equipped to navigate the real world?.

This makes me feel a bit unwell - my ex-husband living with me, the unbeliever, made no 'endeavour' to keep the marriage bond intact, in fact it turned him into even more of an unsupportive, chauvanistic bastard! Yet he got to be the one they all fawned over and felt sorry for, as his 'bad unbelieving wife' left him. Ugh. So glad still that I left!
"17. Under what circumstances could it be said
that God has called married Christians to
peace?
17 A Christian who is married to an
unbeliever should earnestly endeavor to
keep the marriage bond intact. Yet, a
Christian need not feel guilty if, despite
the Christian’s sincere effort to preserve
the union, an unbelieving mate refuses
to remain with the believer. “If the
unbelieving one proceeds to depart, let
him depart,” wrote Paul. “A brother or a
sister is not in servitude under such circumstances,
but God has called you to
peace.”—1 Cor. 7:15.*"

Has Anyone Seen "Prometheus"?
by Low-Key Lysmith ini 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?.

" this movie reminded me that when I see a giant wheel rolling towards me, I will strafe left or right a few feet instead of running directly down its path" - Haha @SweetBabyCheezits, three of us sitting in a row watching this were all "Run to the side, C'MON RUN TO THE SIDE... WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU???".
