SOLSTICE GREETNGS - ADD YOURS!!!
by Seeker4 in
1. jw
2. friends
just wanted to start a day early in wishing everyone a very joyous solstice.. this time of year has always seemed rather magical in a way - the shortness of the day, the lack of light, the so-obvious connection with the earth and solar system that it reminds me of.

you pagans will all understand what i mean.

somehow i've managed to get to a party of some sort at this time of year for the past few years, and i'm headed to one tomorrow night.. i also wanted to say that this board, and h2o before it, has been a huge help to me over the past two years.

Terry Pratchett's "Small Gods"
by Seeker4 in
1. jw
2. friends
i have been reading terry pratchett's "small gods" and finding myself either laughing outloud or reading protions outloud to anyone within earshot.

what a great, funny, truthful indictment of religion and the messes it gets us all into.

go out and buy a copy, you won't regret it.. i keep thinking i should post some passages on this board.

Do U Feel JWs Look Down on U 4 Leaving? Help.
by Seeker4 in
1. jw
2. friends
one of the things many of us faced as we left the wts was the loss of respect from witnesses that we may have really liked.

some may point to us as those who have lost jehovah's spirit and blessing in their life, and are suffering the consequences.

these can be hard issues to face.. yesterday i was discussing these ideas with a psychologist friend, and later with my wife.

Two sex questions
by Seeker4 in
1. social
2. relationships
ok, have had enough to drink tonight so i will toss these two questions out.

will discuss this a bit more tomorrow.. 1. how many of you had sex outside of your marriage after leaving the witnesses?

provide whatever details about how and why that you're comfortable with.. 2. funny question: had a friend write me today that probably more jws per capita enjoyed oral sex the night they read it was a "conscience matter" than any other group in the us.

by Seeker4 in
1. jw
2. friends
my first post here, but many of you know me from h2o.

thought i'd spread this post around to a few boards.. just had a nice long talk with a producer at nbc's dateline.

he is 99 percent certain that they will be doing a segment on the witnesses.
