Oh yes I do, Its just I don't relate everything to the WT like most of you......Also, if you just think of yourself as a victim, that’s fine. This status still does not give you license to insult others. "Free Peace," yea, right!
these questions are aimed at non-alcoholic ex-jw's who have survived or left an alcoholic relationship.. given that the bible says god hates a divorcing, to what extent did religious beliefs keep you in the alcoholic relationship?.
to what extent did peer pressure from the congregation keep you in the relationship?.
what made you decide to leave the alcoholic relationship when you did?.
What ever happened to “for better or for worse?” I hope one would get help first................

My goodness, can you all -please give the WT stuff a rest? The point (not like the point on most of your heads) is that this sums up the Jewish/Christian belief of why, if there is a good, all powerful God, evil exists? It is a good question that needs some thought!
the ageold question that i'm sure we have all given some degree of thought to...what is the purpose of life?
anyone have a theory/opinion they would like to share?.
my personal opinion on this is not solid enough yet to be considered a belief.
Purpose of life?

i would like to use my web space as an ex-jw site.
i don't want to run a message board, or duplicate what other sites already do.
i'm asking - what would you find usefull or think would help others most.
How about posting the correct "truth" about a matter, for a start?
