xw, I don't know whatsup with his eyes, but if he's demonized, all the better. I don't know who the bimbo is, but HE cut her out, so I'm not worried. Hahaha, ya, I learned a long time ago, NEVER to date an x!

I will write back to him, seeing how most of you think he's worthy. LB, I will ask him if he has a sister. Comf, I'll remember to NOT throw him your way if he is a reject.

Physical appearance IN the troof vs. out

by razorMind in

i just had a question.....a rant is intertwined as well (sorry) .

when i was in the jw's, i noticed so many "new one'z" and "interested one'z" who were nicely dressed people.

many were fairly well-groomed, the women & girls with nice stylish fashion taste.

All I can say is, keep talking to your sister. My heart goes out to you.

When I became a jw, I was at my best physically. I was 21, nice body, long hair and very outgoing. A perfect pioneer type. I had a child out of wedlock, so the dorky single jws nerds didn't want me. As the years went on, I became frumpy, with extremely low self-esteem. I eventually married two jws in my 30 years in, but (and I hate to dis them) they were the worst men for me. But, I thought, in the new system, we will be perfect so it doesn't matter. Well, it DID matter.

Now that I am out, I am getting my second wind. I feel good about myself and have met some great nonexjw men. My favorite is a lawyer who makes me feel like I am beautiful and intelligent. He is ten years younger than I am and probably just wants nooky, but I don't care. I enjoy his company and it's nice to want to look my best again.

Being a jw certainly does make you feel like shit, at least it did me.

Which meeting was the worst?

by freedom96 in

i absolutely detested the watchtower study.

never did an hour go by so slow.

there would the 20 or so paragraphs that had to read and answered, and i would watch the clock.

Windchaser

It's hard to say which one was the worst. They were all pretty bad for me. I couldn't concentrate on what was being said. I took notes, but it was just words. The watchtower study probably was the most boring. Not only did you have to endure sitting there after the boring public talk, but you were admonished to study it beforehand, which made it even worse. I hated commenting and always felt guilty when I didn't and stupid when I did.

What's The First Step To Leaving The "Trut...

by minimus in

jw
friends

for those that have entirely left, what was it that first got you seriously thinking that this really wasn't the truth?

for those that may be in just mentally, you can answer too....

Windchaser

Like Francois, the seed was planted when I would read the arrogant modern-day fulfillments. I just couldn't buy it. I had this emptiness inside me that, to me, either meant my heart was bad or they really weren't who they claimed they were. It was easy for me to stop going out in service and then to stop attending meetings. When I got online, an exjw posted something that was so clear (why I didn't see it before, I don't know). He brought out the Scripture about how you can tell a true prophet because there is always fulfillment in the prophecy. Then, he mentioned several dates that the society had implied would be 'the end'. And, here we are in 2002.

Another thing that got to me, just before I left, was the article giving new light to the word 'generation'. There was this underlying feeling that they were copping out.

Are JW's Satans children?

by sleepy in

jw
friends

are jw's satans children?.

i was just wondering how ex-jw born agains and members of other religions view jw's and their time as one.do they believe , like jw's do of other religions, that satan is behind the movment?.

do you feel that in your time as a witness you were under satans control?.

Windchaser

I have come to the conclusion that all man-made religion is false. To make judgement calls, they are demonized or not demonized, would put me in the same mindset as I had as a jw. It's, well, it's outta my realm.

Do I believe in demons? Sometimes. Anything is possible.

Awake! Photographer "throws" zookee...

a zookeeper was serious hurt after an

awake!

photographer asked him to get in the cage with the lion for a picture.

Windchaser

Kirk said Samson has always been tame. He was unable to explain the lion's sudden violence.

I'll wager to guess that Samson was getting bad vibes from the jw.
