Stands for Pure Worship--and thats why the majority of the young JWs of 80s and 90s are now divorced. Not the best way to honestly to get know your future spouse. I pleaded with my son not too marry a girl he wasn't ever alone with, and I was sadly proven right. I am no longer around any from the 2000s to know how their marriages are working out.

Young JWs are born with hormones as is the rest of the world. Most I knew did.

A mole within the FDS!
by braincleaned init has been now verified that there was a traitor within the gb!.
an insider had the courage and audacity to verify this, taking the risk of being kicked out of bethel, with a cross carved on his forehead.. it became apparent that all the men of the gb where naturally bald, even when some tried to hide it with a clever and stylistic comb-over.
but there was some suspicion that pierce and losch were not true bald men.

Progress made with dad... but he still believes in the blood doctrine
by ILoveTTATT inso.... my spiritual journey has led me to agnosticism, i really have a hard time believing that the bible, with so many contradictions and errors, and worse, with so many people trying to change its contents and who have actually achieved it, can be god's word.. i personally believe that i should just "do what i do" and live by the motto "yolo" (kidding).... no but really, i believe that i should just try to use my common sense to determine if something is right or if it is wrong.
with that, many things are simplified.
opening the door for someone that walks by?

Be patient I walked away from JWs 25 years ago and I only started to doubt the blood ban in the last 2 years. It often takes a family crisis to rethink your beliefs that are so deeply ingrained in your thinking.

Husband family has our df'd one his sister df'd plus a nephew df'd and his family has 2 members who are shunning. The ones doing the shunning are actually the ones who are missing out on life.

Kari you mentioned your son has lupus. One of the symptyms of lupus is chronic exhaustion, this may contribute to his having a hard time handling things the average person can handle no problem. Lupus also damages internal organs. Many symptems of lupus are not visible to others and come across as laziness. Please check symptoms online he might just not be able to work at a job in a normal manner. BUT you are right in that his grandfathernis an enabler. Best Wishes Kari you have so much to deal with in your life.
