totally agree with This article...
i got the exact same situation at home...as a result, "intercourse" is not at all pleasant for neither of us, luckily i got other motives to love my wife than sex!
thank you JW.org!

I Waited Until My Wedding Night To Lose My Virginity And I Wish I Hadn't...
by Divergent ini found this article interesting & just wanted to share.
after going through my teenage years trying to be the perfect jw, i realized that trying to live up to the standards imposed on me have been for worse & not for better.
i was feeling miserable, repressed, unfulfilled, with a great lack of self confidence & self esteem.

Find What Your Social Status Was in the Congregation
by Mary inever notice how the "happiest people on earth" are also the most class-oriented?
the social structure in the congregation is more complex than the blueprints of a nuclear warhead, but just so that you "remember your place", see if you can find where your niche was/is:.
1. at the top of the social order of things within the congregation is of course, the presiding overseer and his family.

startrekangel, you find it hard to believe that you can fool them for too long?
check That: I am awake for nearly 4 years, Never comment at meetings (only a few readings once a while), turn in 3-4 hours a month FS time, wear a beard every now and then...believe me or not, but an Elder came to see me last tuesday at the end of service meeting and told me That i had a great spiritual maturity (???!! WTF???!!) and That i had all the qualities to be appointed ministerial servant very soon (!!!??? WTF again!!!???).
so you see, as long as you Never tell anything to anyone about what you really think, yes you Can fool them for a very long time...

Wow...you got some pretty serious rides Guys...and girls if any(i have known some good riders among girls).
i ride a 2009 Kawasaki er6f (aka ninja 650R in some countries i believe) and use it in urban and periurban environement of Paris France,every day (little streets and highways of This city). Some car drivers are here to kill motorcycle people from what i experience every day:using phone and not looking in the mirrors while changing direction,etc...
i also went on week end tours in Normandy.
i do not plan to switch electric yet...it's new so adjustments Will be needed before it Is really useful...

by Splash init would be interesting to have some present (stonewall?
) at these meetings to witness and record talk number three on the tms.. talk 3 - "what the bible says about homosexuality" (reasoning book p.368-369).
the reasoning book tells us in part:.

i have Just been assigned This talk.funny i do not comment at meetings for months, report 3 or 4 hours FS for "fun", and still they give me number 3 parts. This one i believe because no one else wanted to do it.
still, i plan to Say how bad it Is to mock gay people the way i heard some JW do it...

i have been home schooled from the start until i was 14. I remember This was one of the things That made me slightly inadequate when returning to the "real" school world, things were way different than in my cosy house, and for sure it Is the reason i got baptised at 16. Because i did not have enough view of how it Was outside the jw world, then i thought the best place to be was among jw...

Today's WT study! So hypocritical!
by stuckinarut2 inso today's study is all about being kindly, and not judgemental to those in the congregation....we don't know their circumstances etc.... i can't believe the hypocrisy being spewed out...both in the article and by means of the answers from the audience!.
we know the reality is so different!
unless a witness does everything exactly as the gb directs...in every aspects of life, they are effectively no longer a good person, but are viewed as spiritually lacking or weak..... they are going directly beyond the biblical directives, and being ones who condemn, rather than ones who commend!.

always a matter of double standards:
one of my mother in law comments to This study was based on the James letter stating That we do not have to judge.agreed by everyone by force noding heads.
later after the meeting she discussed the case of a jw family they know, who is sending their 19year old daughter in another part of the country to go to high School (and live with DA relatives incidentally...): "This Is a mistake, they should not have done That, blah blah blah".
still not judging hey?

Why don't Jehovah's Witnesses introduce themselves when knocking on doors?
by Randomthoughts inmost random people who knock on the door politely introduce themselves when you open the door.. for example "hello, i'm derick from unicef and i'm looking for donations blah blah blah".
now annoying as it may be for some at least he had the courtesy to introduce himself.. why don't jw's do this?
is it because they are embarressed or perhaps they know you won't take their literature if they do?.

hi.
Never tell That we are jw or the householder Will tell us to go to hell;)
as a still "active" jw for family sake, when i go to FS (not more than 3 hours per month...) i quickly say That we are jw so That every time the householder Will say he is not interrested...less time lost;)
but personnally i NEVER give my name, because i do not want to be exposed as a jw anywhere later(say...at work or else) while i do not believe those BS. I notice That people do not recognize me later in another context (gas station,bookshop,etc) than the formal door to door.

I now have a law degree!
by digderidoo inhi guys, i don't really post on here much anymore, having been on here since 2001. this site helped me out in the early days and has been a great support system for all of my past jw issues.
like many others i was discouraged from an education so that i could window clean and pioneer in my youth during the 80's.
having spent many years post my jw exit in alcoholism and periods of drugs, i decided to clean myself up 7 years ago by attending aa, i was still a window cleaner ... at the time i wrote extensively on here about my issues.
