Snow and Macon DO NOT MIX!!!!
by Bendrr init started sometime this morning before i got up at 6. the roads were ok so i made it into work.
snowed all morning with a nice dusting, then that gave way to rain/sleet.
we planned on closing the shop early but the weather definitely didn't hurt business.. people just kill me sometimes.

I'M A NEWBIE! My story...
by terafera ini just came across this site not too long ago and have been reading the stories.
i am filled with relief and at the same time frustration mixed with tears, because i have been holding my story in and not sharing it with anyone, except my husband.
i have felt many of the feelings expressed here but was afraid to say them out loud for fear of being an 'apostate'.

Sadie:
Please review the following web sites before you make any decisions to be baptized into the JW's:
Click on: http://members.aol.com/beyondjw/indoct.htm
Click on: http://members.aol.com/beyondjw/dwjw.htm
Click on: http://members.aol.com/beyondjw/bj.htmI left because of their two-faced lies, conditional love, pressure, guilt, hypocrisy, false prophecies, flipping doctrines back and forth, twisted NWT Bible translation (in order to support their doctrine), cult mind-controlling methods....should I go on? The WTS Gov Body is not what they appear!
You are, of course, free to choose as you like. Our advice (and it is just that...advice) is that you think twice before getting baptized. In fact, I'm sure, those on this board would agree when I say run away from them as fast as you possibly can. If you think this sounds like panic, you're right and for good reason.

Hi, SYN: Welcome to the Board you good lookin'....oh get a grip on it, Trot... ((()))
I'm a No. 2 here on Adonia's chart. Ex-JW (DA'd) since June this year. It's so wonderful to be out. Life is much better. There's all kinds of people here and it's the best cocktail party in town.

ANy ideas on ridding of dubs?
by lydia inanyone have any good ideas on how to keep dubs from constantly returning??
they don't seem to leave the area alone with just requests and they are preying on those who live in a development that do not have the money to file a lawsuit.
help!

Scully: Interesting. I just read the 12/15/01 WT article you mentioned.
The MAIN question I have for you regarding this Watchtower article is this: The Question From Readers article specifically refers to JW females married to non-JW males. How is it that it's OK for these women to do all these things and not be referred to, as you so eloquently described, as "returning to vomit"?? Don't you think that's a tad hypocritical that a certain group of people within your ranks are allowed to do something while the rest of you are not?? What makes them SO special??
I just saw my pioneer JW neighbor, who was wearing, eeeek...do I dare say it....RED!, come out of her house and accept a gift wrapped in gold paper from a friend in a car that was out in front of her house. The red outfit and the gift would be a definite No-No in the congregation from whence I came. Could it be that some JW's are reading into the article exactly what you just mentioned about why it could be okay for JW sisters married to unbelieving mates to celebrate holidays (depending on their conscience) but not all JW's?Do ya think some JW's are finally getting the message of the hypocrisy of the WTS?
I think there are many JW's who really WANT to celebrate the holidays but their programming chip won't allow it.Trot
