jesus said, "you will all know my followers by they're works".
in a recent thread that i made, which lie hurt you the most, most posters presented they're arguments, and pretty much all of them said that the "lack of love" was horrendous.
why don't you write out your lack of love stories so that the lurkers can visit and see what this destructive high-control-group (aka, cult) does to the emotional health of sheep who are sick and weak.
The elders held a Judicial Committee against my sister (known here as Nikita) after she got married in a church.
They formed the JC despite:
1) My sister being inactive for a few years prior to marriage.
2) Not even telling her that they were forming the committee.
3) Making an announcement of "disassociation" by her actions to the congregation and not informing my brother and me about the announcement in advance.
i don't know if this has ever been brought up before, but there are several excellent writers on this forum.
many of you have real talent, and you write with such passion and emotion when publishing your life stories.
having read hundreds of life stories, i can see how well you express yourselves.
Thanks for the kind words, truthseeker.
If I wasn't so humble I would let this get to my head.
has there been previous discussions on the nature of animals in the new system?
most people seem to think that the animals will suddenly become completely different than they are today.
lions and tigers will eat hay, not meat, etc, but if you think about animal natures and the perfect system that exists in the animal food chain, it doesn't make sense.. what would a horse be if it had no fear of predators?
Will the skunks still smell?
What will a boa constricter squeeze?
Will alligators and crocodiles just float around all day?
Will the Red Sox ever win another World Series?
thank you for taking the time to listen.
i feel since i'm new i should share my story.
i was born a jw, my entire family at the time were all jw's.
Thanks for the uplifting story, Happyagain. I look forward to you sticking around for a while.

Welcome to the Forum, Brownboy.
Are you related to J.R. Brown?
lately, with all the talk about mel gibsons new movie, etc., it got me to thinking.
here you have people that suffer for their whole lives.
with cerebral palsy, constant pain, watching their entire families get gunned down.. here is the deal.
So, tell me: What if Jesus DID sin. Let's say he and Mary Magdalene rolled in the hay. What would the Big Guy in the sky do next? Zap Jesus? Take away his heavenship privileges? Let him grow old like Adam?
Also, would that be it for humans? Was it a one-shot deal?
God: "Dammit! Jesus poked Mary Magdalene. Now what do I do? CRAP! Oh, well. At least I tried. Good riddance, you filthy humans! I guess Satan was right."
it's an addiction that i have tried to stop since i was a young boy.
my friends and loved ones have tried to encourage me to quit, but i just can't.
when i used to attend meetings, i would feed my addiction right there in the kingdom hall.
Ah, Frantic! I'm glad that you (like me) understand the art of cracking!
the feb. 22, 2004 awake has this article.
here's some comments that i thought you'd appreciate.
"telephone sex, however, promotes coldness and anonymity...... telephone sex is one of the means that satan the devil is using to corrupt young ones today.....if you are currently engaging in telephone sex, why not get some help?
Maybe the JW parents can "help" by telling the young lass to always make sure he's masturbating in the "missionary" position.
Also, the YPA for next month will be, "ENORMOUS telephone bills- How to hide them from your parents!"

Joyzabel-
I wasn't offended. Besides, Slippy is quite a handsome fella!
He showed me his nipple.
background information:first of all, i am not a jw.
i divorced my husband due to his alcohol addiction and because he repeatedly refused to seek help.
i could no longer carry the burden, and so after 30 years, i left.
Love does happen and I can understand how and why you fell in love with this man.
The difference between you and this man is this: He DOES know how to turn on and off the love. JW's are masters of conditional love. If you and him got married and he became involved with the JW's again, he may very well end up resenting you because you won't convert (unless, of course, you DO convert).
It would probably be best if you "let it lay".
