I knew sisters in the cong. that didn't make a decision before asking an elder. Sad to add many of these sisters were married to non-belivers. Knowing one of these sisters very well and also her husband it wasn't always a harmonious household.

if the rapture started now?
by fakesmile insince the majority would be "left behind", i wonder.
clearly the hard workers who neglected "spiritual things" to persue a career in the science field or just working with the hands will be of the many left.
what would this world be like if all fundies just dissappeared.

Also a born-in never knew what the Rapture was and I'm still not clear who believes it. Lois yes us born-in were naive didn't know difference between sexual and religious matters. We must have amused a lot of people.

How would you feel if your coworkers pooled in on Powerball lottery tickets and won, and you didn't participate?
by Theocratic Sedition ini just recieved an email stating that the folks here won $8.00 over the weekend.
so they're going to use the money to procure more tickets and i believe the jackpot is up to like $260 million or some other crazy figure.
i never participate and i absolutely enjoy watching them waste their money on tickets with a smug haughtiness that only an active jw can muster.

Are we all bitter?
by LouBelle ini posted a link on fb that lead to a topic here.
i then had one of my 'friends' start having a go about how bitter everyone is here....fact he said.
(he used to be a jw elder but left a while back, not sure why he left or if he has even researched the faith since leaving) the more i tried to reason with him that actually it is a support forum, the more he lashed out that everyone here bad mouths the jw's and only attack the jw's.

Yes i believe we are all or at least most are bitter. With myself it has different levels of bitterness and anger. The last few weeks it has become worse due to the WT sttand on shunning. It is bringing out the agressive part of my passive-aggresive personality. I have already use Matt. 18 on one family member over shunning and I upset her so much she has lost what little was left of her humanity (ran to confess to her elders) Another family member is looking for reasons she must call but I hear her thinking she is suppose to shun my family it is said because this is something my family has always refused to di in our family. If she does choose to shun me Inprobally will let go on her too. YES I AM BITTER.

So sorry shunning is anything but it is not loving. It is not even loving to those doing the shunning. They have to bury all natural feeling for everyone to be able to follow thru with it. i belive JW leaders have a lot to answer for before God. I believe they will have to answer for the blood on their hands.

I need some advice please!!! I'm torn on what to do.
by Gojira_101 inthis morning i woke up thinking about a friend of mine, i will call her sara...here's some of the back story.. we grew up together and have always been good friends, even though we wouldn't stay in touch, we would just pick up where we left off.
sara has always been different, and i never really knew what it was growing up, but i didn't care, she was my friend.
so we lost touch for many years and then about 4 yrs ago when i went back to my home town, we reconnected.

Be careful of listening to those whosuggest juice and fruit diets. Fruits and juices are high in carbs and with the gastic bypass you are likely to get sicker. You must watch your carb in take. The dumping syndrome is bad for stomach issues even diahrreh can be a symptom of dumping. By the way I am 8 years out and I have not put the weight back on. I attended support meeting for the first year and many of us had stomach issues. Just be aware what you are eating and the amounts.

Crisis of Conscience ...should we sell the book or keep it?
by Latte inwe have a copy of this book and are wondering if we should sell it...is it worth anything?.
amazon says it's worth 20 dollars.

I think it would be a good idea to keep. I had opportunity to mention book and explain Ray Franz writing as not being what we were taught to a close family member lasr night.

i showed this pictuere to my two teenage grandaughters their eyes got big and asked if this is how their mother dressed for the Beach when she was a JW. She laughed and said not quite. SHe and her friends dressed like normal teens and that I always encouraged her and her brother to have some fun.
