Just my little story
by MinistryOfTruth in[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:officedocumentsettings> <o:allowpng /> </o:officedocumentsettings> </xml><![endif].
i have been lurking here for about a month or two.
it is really awesome to read so many similar experiences.. for example, when i was still 'in' i wondered if i was the only one in the hall that really hated the meetings.

Good thing you have chosen to go to college! Good luck and don't get sucked back into it. Sometimes it can be difficult especially when your family are JW's.

Conditional Friendships?
by TheNurseInBlack inwe use to be great friends, religion was never an issue and we could be on the phone hours on end.
she always told me how much of a good friend i was but when she brought up religion and told her i didn't believe that way and that "i hope that doesn't get in the way of are friendship.
" it didn't that night but the morning after she began to preach to me, back then i didn't really know much about the bible to speak out or show her any flaws but now i do and now it's been constant debates (that i win) but i hate that are friendship even has to have that in their.

I have been friends with a JW for a long time.... Since 2003 actually. But I realize that she will only associate with me if I am studying. I haven't studied since October of last year. She talks to me once in a while. She hasn't cut off ties but I think it's because she feels there's still some hope I may get baptized. I have yet to tell her how I totally feel about the Organization. I believe that if I do she will want nothing to do with me instead I've just been telling her little things... Like planting seeds. Still she is a pretty devout follower. Her whole family and other friends are JW's. She is a born in. I feel like regardless of what I tell her about the Org that is negative she would never leave. It's sad because this is someone I've been friends with for a long time. We have a lot in common despite religion. Still, I've prepared myself mentally that she may cut ties with me. If she doesn't that would be great but I believe in time I will be able to tell if she will. I made several other friends and they haven't spoken to me since I've stopped studying. I knew it would most likely happen and it has and I'm fine with it. I know plenty of people who aren't JW's and my whole family can't really stand the religion so I guess that'll help in the long run.
In your situation, I'd say be prepared that this person will cut ties with you just for the sake of their religion. It can be quite difficult to reason with them.

If there is a God why didn't he sign our DNA
by scotoma intodays scientists can and do insert their trademark into dna.. why couldn't jehovah anticipate scientists learning this technique and stumbling across a strand that says "human by yhwh"?.
that would have answered a lot of questions.. he could have even included a model number human2.0.

Evolution is still an unsolved mystery as is most of the universe. Evolution reveals some of it's information.
^^^^ Evolution isn't fact (even though some do view it as that) so we can speculate all we want! Even the most intelligent person still can't prove how exactly we came into existence.
people will agree, disagree... Debate on and on but at the end of the day it doesn't really matter. I don't live each day wondering if there is a creator or not. Why get all worked up on it? Just live the life that you've been given. If your content believing there is a God, great! If your content believing there isn't one, that's great! It's your choice. Forcing your beliefs down anybody's throat just goes to show insecure you are of what your trying to preach. I've learned to accept people for who they are. It's a waste trying to convince them otherwise!

My wife just told me to move out...
by nolongerconfused inbecause of "religious" differences, she now wants me to move out and "separate"...i said what biblical grounds does she have for her request?.
she couldnt respond...she said she'd rather be beaten up by me than have an "apostate" in the house.... this org definitely encourages conditional love.... i don't know what to do...by the way, we dont have children.

As a JW man/husband aren't you supposed to be the head of the household?
It seems to me that she wants to dictate to you what she wants when at the end of the day she is supposed to submit to you.
Unless of course if you were abusive. It's a shame that she would rather be married to a man that is Goes to show how much the organization has brainwashed her. At least you've been able to help other family members recognize TTATT. If anything she should move out if it is her choice to leave you. You have absolutely no obligation to leave since you want to work on your marriage.
So sorry your going through this... Hope everything works out for you

Lol.... God isn't like us human beings. We want to be recognized for our accomplishments. Big or small.
Isn't the universe grand enough to realize it didn't arise from just nothing?!
There's just so much we don't know... How can we be certain that there is no creator?

Graybeards letter was pretty awesome. Try to take something out of it so you can incorporate into your own. The elders will be completely dumbfounded

Is the grass greener on the other side?
by What Now? inhi all.... so my mom phoned me up this morning and said she needed to talk to me about something.
she asked me whether or not our (worldly) family thought that my husband and i were witnesses anymore.
one, someone in my family said to her, "i didn't know you guys wear short dresses like that" - commenting on a slightly above the knee dress i had worn to a family event.

If you choose to not go to meetings and service I highly doubt that the JW friends you do have will want to hang out with you, have you associate with their kids. They will easily cut you off.
I've never been baptized but studied, went to meetings for almost 10 yrs! I recently decided to stop doing all that specifically for my children's sake.
I am a mom of a 8 yr old, 6 yr old and 18 mth old. I made many friends within the Org and they invited us to many social outings with the kids, parties, dinners over the years. Once I stopped studying they've discontinued any contact with me. Why?
It just seems crazy to me but obviously normal to them. It's not like I knew these people for a couple months. My children practically grew up with them since they are within the same age gap. It's disturbing on so many levels to me that they would choose to withdraw themselves out of my life so easily just because I don't fully agree with the religion.
Trust me, you don't want your child exposed to that! My children go to school and so will yours and sooner if not later will experience the good, the bad and the ugly. That is the world we live in. At some point they will realize no one is perfect. You are the one who's responsible to teach him these things! There are good and bad people everywhere regardless of what religion they follow.
I too used to think the best association for my children would be those within the Org but I eventually realized this isn't true. It may take you some time to realize that but at some point I believe you are going to have to choose whether you should be in the organization or not. It's only a matter of time.
I hope you make the right choice for you and your family
