i wonder about that and have researched it in prior times but i see so many that are falling apart.
thoughts?.
I definately think you can have a very fulfilling relationship because I have been in one for 34 years. There will never be a perfect relationship but that doesn't mean it is a failure. You have to be willing to forgive, work together and give of yourself.
According to the Peu Study JW's have the highest divorce rate and atheists have the lowest which I found interesting.
jws are, i think they are more like "herba-drones" it's been on the news as a massive war with a billionaire who is trying to expose it as a cult company.. http://www.benzinga.com/media/cnbc/14/08/4799559/scott-wapner-believes-that-bill-ackman-is-increasing-his-short-position-in-.
herbalife has it's people believe it's products can extend life (jws believe their teachings will bring "everlasting life") and tell you to hit everyone up you know to buy these life-saving products.
jws tell you to preach to your family and workmates, everyone is fair game to herba-drones and jw-drones, nobody is safe unless your a nutritionist (ex-jw with wisdom) who knows they sell a bogus emotion and worthless products.. .
There was a piece on 60 Minutes or one of the news programs about Herbalife and the link you posted. It was very interesting.

I know what you mean because before I got baptized I had so many doubts and all through the 30 years I was in but I felt trapped because my whole life was surrounded by the JW's and I knew I would lose everyone and didn't know how to get out of it so I went along.
When you do research on cults and read about other cults you can connect the dots. That was the main thing that woke me up. I love to read and I very rarely read the WTBTS material but instead did my "worldly" reading. I read maybe 7 books about the FLDS, 6 books on North Korea, a couple about the Amish and a few on Scientology. I saw a theme throughout all of them and then I realized that the JW's were no different and that set me on the path of finding books about the JW's.

Before I became a JW my ex husband and I got involved with Amway. We worked out butts off and made very little money. My husband Of 32 years and I got involved with Market America and it is just like Amway. We weren't in it too long because we didn't care for it and we have a good business we have had for well over 30 years that takes up our time.
if you go to Steven Hassan's site freedomofminds.com you will find some very interesting info on Amway along with court cases. I sat one afternoon reading the info and you will see how it very simular to the WTBTS.

If you go to Steven Hassan's site freedomofmind.com you will find that Herbalife and Amway are listed as cults. He has a long list of cults and there are also articles about these cults along with some court cases. I found it very interesting and you might too.
well, i just couldn't hold it in anymore.. today, i exploded, talking to my mother about the family inheritance and how i am being screwed.. i told her i had been so angry lately, and just had to tell her what i was thinking, because the anger was slipping out at times, and i was making snide anti-jw comments .... which is not my way.
i'm usually quite direct.. i told her that i couldn't take being treated like a piece of dog you-know-what on the bottom of someone's shoe any longer.. that in the past couple of years, i had learned so much filth about the jws that i was getting more and more disgusted day by day.. i started shouting ... there is nothing wrong with me!!!
why do i have to be shunned when they hide child molesters???.
I am sorry to hear you were so sick. It sure can hang on for a long time and it really zaps your strength. I hope you are doing much better now.
hi folks.
the usual feeling for me - when i missed mid-week meetings - is to feel guilty, sad or depressed.
it normally involved negative feelings.
I walked away two years ago and I never had one bit of guilt at all. By the time I finished COC I knew it was mostly lies and it was a relief for me to never go back. It was hard enough when I didn't know the real truth sitting there but once I found out everything there is no way I could sit there and listen to any of it.
