  2. friends

  it's been quite a while since i've written anything here, maybe a couple of years.

  some may remember me, seeker4, from the old h2o, or the early years of this one.

  i was a jw for about 35 years, ms, elder for about 15, pioneer, all of it.

  have you noticed those exotic locations some of our posters come from?.

  some of you sure come from some exotic places!

  helllloooo everyone,.

  after reading this board for quite a while, i've finally been moved to post.

  i was inspired by our trip to the dallas apostachilifest, where princess and i met lots of terrific people in various stages of exit from the j-ho's.

  Is There ANYTHING That Would Make You Go Back?

  by SpannerintheWorks in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  could the wbts change anything about it's beliefs that would entice you back to the religion?.

  or are you firmly against the wbts no matter what?.

  even if it changed it's rules on shunning, blood, "worldly things" ?.

  Is Disagreement REALLY Fanning A Flame?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i won't specify a particular subject, but it seems that when someone throws mud at another, there are 2 options.

  either accept it or reject it.

  if you or others defend a position, especially after an attack, that's "fanning the flames".

  Bill Bowen's unfortunate attack

  by Jim Penton in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  like carl olof jonsson, this is the first time i have ever written to this forum.

  i have decided to do so, however, because i am saddened at what bill bowen has chosen to do in reference to ray franz.

  let me say that i given bill full marks for publicizing an issue child abuse and the watchtower cover up of it and for taking a stand that has cost him a great deal personally.

  It has been a year!!

  by Joyzabel in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  well, can you believe it, it has been a year since i timidly joined this forum!

  (yes me, i was very timid at first!

  i came looking to see if anyone else had the same experience as me in finding out that the wtbts is just another manmade organization with dangling carrots and big sticks.

  Bill Bowen's Comments on Ray Franz

  by silentlambs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i wish them peace.

  at the end of the conversation i did not feel we were in agreement.

  for similar reasons i believe ray has not supported the issue of child abuse being a problem in the organization to media and by personal comments to persons who ask him privately about this.

  Totally happy in your marriage?

  by Lost Diamond in

  1. social
  2. family

  how many of you are totally, incredibly happy in your marriage?

  how many of you feel that your spouse is your absolute soul mate and you couldn't even imagine your being married somebody else?

  talking with the women at work, i'm surprised at how many are not totally happy.

  Can a Christian and a JW be happily married?

  by janiemh in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my husband and i are currently separated (since 6/02) we have not ruled out the possibility of reconciliation and are working on some issues.

  about 2 years before this separation, we both started studying with jw's.

  we went to sunday meetings and had weekly in-home bible studies.
