Couples that leave the JWs together.

by MegaDude in

jw
friends

for married couples who ended up leaving the jws together, which spouse broke from the jws first?

what was your reaction to your spouse leaving at first?

what made you decide to finally leave with your spouse?.

TheStar

Megadude,

Thanks for starting this thread for the sake of all whom are currently under this situation. I hope more will respond and share their experiences.

My own? I've stopped bombarding my spouse with all the facts, this keeps the peace but I'm not making any progress in getting him out and I don't know what else to do. It's a very frustrating place to be, it feels so helpless.

Select a world leader

by JanH in

jw

let's say you are challenged to appoint a man who will become the supreme leader of the world.

however, you have only these 3 candidates available: .

candidate 1) he is known to cooperate with corrupt politicians, consults astrologers, has two mistresses, is a chain smoker and drinks around 10 glasses of martini a day.

Jan,

I recall reading somewhere that Hitler was half Jew. I've even wondered if maybe his hatred for the Jews may have stemmed from his hatred toward his father. If I ever run into any reliable reference to it, I'll forward it on.

I find it very hard to believe he never had a drop of alcohol. They sure did find plenty of it in his home after the war.

Ozzie's Weekend Poll #7

i'm sorry that due to "technical difficulties', last weekend's poll did not appear, but thanks to all those who enquired about why it was not posted.

glad you're enjoying them!

so, time to put your feet up, so to speak, and have some fun with this weekend's poll.

TheStar

Man, while most of you were already out or on your way out I was just getting sucked in!!

I started studying about Sep-Oct of 1995 so when that whole "New light on The Generation" thing came out I was clueless, definately #1. No one cared to really explain it to me so I never really understood it or the implications of the change until just a few months ago when I started doing all my research and started finding all the discrepancies etc. I think XJWs understand it and can explain it much better than many JWs, it's truely sad.

Explain THIS!!

by MrMoe in

friends

ok, now before you read this and speculate please note i knew very little if any of mayan culture or pink amazon dolphin.

some of you here on the board know about my dreams but i feel it is time to get some feedback from the rest of you.

i have other dreams, but am far too lazy to type them up.

TheStar

Why do these kinds of things only happen to other people?

I've never had any unusual dreams, visions or anything of that sort in my life.

The only time I've ever had any kind of remotely similar dream is when I've fallen asleep while watching the discovery channel.

I'm not getting mine either. I asked Simon about it in another thread:

The problem should be fixed but I'm still not getting anything.

GOING DOWN TO THE WIRE

by You Know in

jw
friends

things are gettn interestinger and interestinger every day.

on the international scene any number of scenarios can serve as triggers to set off wwiii, or the tribulation, whatever you may prefer to call it.

the next cross-border atrocity by rogue militants could easily detonate a conflagration between nuclear-poised india and pakistan.

YK,

I don't even read your posts or responses, excepting this one.

Do you even realize how foolish this statement is?

i recieved 3 emails from this person named, tord unevik,

all three emails say the same thing.

i send you this file in order to have your advice see you later.

TheStar

Thank Amazing for the tip! I'll check into that software... $60 is nothing... I was thinking Anti-Virus software was much more expensive, glad to know it's not! And Amazing, I'm glad to see you posting, hope you are taking care of yourself and not over -extending yourself. ;)

Lisa,

Lars Nilsson sounds soooo familiar!! I don't want to spread rumors but I'm almost 100% he is a JW I knew back in my old "getting to know JWs on the internet" days. Dang! I can't post the full story on this guy for fear of giving away my identity but I will say if it's the same guy he is wacked!!

Reborn,

If someone had a question seeking advice, they would ask it in the text of their message, and not in an attachment.

Yeeeaaahhh, you think someone that would want to send you a virus would be a little smarter about it but I AM greatful this one was not.
