Marry only in the Lord? Cmon, give me a break! Well, I suppose that if you have an affair with another brother's wife and divorce yours and he divorces his, then you get married to her, wellll, I suppose that this would be considered marrying olny in the Lord, ya thimk?

And yet, believe you me, I HAVE seen this happen, yes, more than ONCE!! Now, about the pool of eligible single young people or not so young people, in the , Ahem Truth, as it were, I would have serious doubts about taking any one of these as a mate? Where have their bodies been? Chaste? or CHASED??? Hmmmm. Hypocrites!

My take...

post your age...only if you want to.

do it anyway.. i'm 42..

kozmo

I am " 63 " and not feeling a day older than , what, 37, mentally? My bad. As amatter of fact, I fianlly applied for Social Security last week. Ya, finally decided to back off on my business and get the check that's a sure thing and bring down my magic number from the business. Less stressful to have to hit it each month. Life is good. Got a great wife, non jw, and we know how to live at this age!!

Be Careful, Demons are in EVERYTHING!

by TeenageInsider in

my parents always says that demons are everywhere!

it's getting quite annoying!

they claims demons are in smurfs?

kozmo

Oh, ya! My mother, bless her deprted heart was the same. Don't bring the Demons into the house. She learned the truth, as it were, in the late 40's early 50's. Once she learned that the Demons were everywhere, we didn't dare bring something old or from an old friend or relative that was worldly into the house. They had demons attached. I never saw one, nothing. However, I got a little racy here awhile ago, few years in fact, and just to make a point of it, I DARED Satan or any on those folks, to show themselves or make a manifestation to me that they DID exist. Guess what?

POOOOF! Nothing happened. Now, wouldn't you have thought that me being who I am and was, that they would have said, " OK , WE'VE GOT A LIVE ONE HERE, LET'S SHOW HIM!

Thank you very much!

This is for you...(You know who you are)

by MsGrowingGirl20 in

i don't know how you figured out who i am but i know that you have been reading my posts and i know that you know that it is me.

that conversation revealed it all.

i don't know if you plan on telling the elders or have already done so.

kozmo

It's fascinating to learn just who your real friends are in life. They may walk hand in hand with you for years, take in your innermost thoughts and feelings as a confidant, share your tears and your joys. Make you feel as though you are one of their family...and......Just like that!!! Whoosh! Out you go!!!!

I share your hurt and hope for the best in your new found freedom here dear. Don't let it get you down and move ahead. Life does get better!!

i got a few items of clothing, candy, a brand new mattress and boxspring, tea scented cologne and tea scented soap.. what did you recieve??

(good or bad).

A new Bowling Bag.

3 new bowling shirts.

A fifth of Great Booze, Jack Daniels.

Bowling is a great sport, we bowl on 2 leagues and serve on the local USBC Board of Directors, of which I am now a Vice President. Yes, indeed, the world is fun!

I love "serving" the community in this way, as opposed to knocking on people's doors in service. ................

Of Bethel a Place of Homosexualiy,Drunkness,Psychotic Episodes,Brawls,Sucide,Immorality,Deceit, Control and Cynism

by Scott77 in

"...the intimacy with farm animals is true.

[beastiality], theft, homosexuality, drunkeness, psychotic episodes, brawls, suicide, immorality, deceit and control is all true.

the sad thing is seeing young women wanting to marry a bethelite thinking that she is getting the 'cream of the crop' and they are probably worse than a so-called worldly person...the cynicism was palpable...the most emotionally unhealthy environments to be a part of...socially disfunctional people..."wheres caleb?http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/scandals/218165/3/your-most-disturbing-watchtower-bethel-branch-experience-no-full-names-please.

Interesting...........I have a nephew, whose entire dream in life was to serve at Bethel. And, so, it came about. Now, this young man grew up under my brother's rule. He had 3 sons all of whom feared my brother. He would treat them just as he had done me all my life, physical abuse, mental and psycholical abuse. So, after a number of years at Bethel, my nephew, was ASKED to leave. The reason, it seems as though he had been acting out for some time, always separate from others, wearing a long dark trench coat, strange he was indeed. Now, this part came from the horse's mouth. A friend of ours who also as a young man, went to Bethel and served on the committee that asked him to leave, he is still there. It seems as though my nephew had " Jostled" ? another behtelite in a stairwell, assaulted him actually. So, my nephew left, unhappily, his bubble had burst and he held this against the WTS although he is still an active JW. True story.

What is the latest New Light?

by kozmo in

please bear with me here.

it's been some time since i accessed the forum and 8 years since i really read any of the wts pubs or attended any meetings.

so, in a nutshell, if someone will indulge me, what's the latest twists the wts has come up with on their doctrines, teachings, etc?.

kozmo

What a twisted web they have woven............When I was a boy, 5, in the early fifties, we had 2 of the , as it were then, annointed. These were OOOOLD people. And the teaching of the Generation supported this age group. We JUST KNEW that when all of these folks passed away that the new system was imminent! Now that all of these old folks have long ago passed away, the newer, younger replacements are there, the generation no longer holds water, and it's all gone to Hell! What will they think of next to hold this thing together?

Gb, FDS, End of times, Annointed. I believe these have changed and just want to see how far off base they have gotten.

Real xmas tree for the first time

by MMXIV in

merry xmas to you all!.

i have just set up my first real fir xmas tree at home after 7 years out.

it was a great experience.

kozmo

Bravo for you MM!!!

After 40 years as a JW, I too found the joy of NOT having to hide the trapings of the holidays. I was divorced from my ex and remarried a wonderful woman who absolutely loves Christmas and everything that comes with it. I have an older son, 38 who is still active, he knows we celebrate, but, he is not condemnatory of me, and actually doesn't say anything, he's a GOOD son. My younger son, 34, is no longer active, comes over for the holidays and enjoys receiving gifts, actually brings us gifts now. Once you make the break from those who don't appreciate you as a PERSON, the happier you will be.

As a child being raised as a JW, yes, as expressed just now, it was very difficult to NOT be involved with my classmates and the overall experience of being included in the holiday events. We missed out on a lot of good, meaningful interactions. Ya, and this business that JW children don't lack for things given to them during the year, BUNK!! That's not the point JW parents! Once again, the twisted reasoning of the WTS stunts the ideological and psycholical growth of those in their most formative years.

As has been expressed many times here in the past, those of us who were raised as JW's always missed out on a LOT of life's experiences and POSITIVE learning traits. I say this because as JW children, the positive action of learning to give and receieve gifts graciously is lost on them for, their parents do not teach them this. having been raised from the age of 5 as a JW, I had a very hard time and still do in recieving a gift from someone, it wasn't taught to me just how to recieve them. What a pitty for all of us!

May you anad yours have a very Merry Christmas
