  Mad Cow Disease in Washington State

  hopefully not too many cows caught bse from this cow, and moreso any humans.. .

  but i do think that this is kinda of a payback to the canadians.. .

  we had one cow in alberta that had bse, and the us along with many other countries banned all canadian beef.

  I don't eat beef so I'm not worried.

  I went grocery shopping last night and there was no chicken or ground turkey left on the shelves.

  i have heard that there are purported to be quite a number of you apostate types in my area.

  so far i'm inclined to believe this is just a rumor.

  i'm harmless, truly.

  does the marriage of an active jw have to be to another active and practicing jw?

  "and do you regret your choice in a spouse? i mean, due to the religious barrier?"

  I have no regrets. I am no longer a JW so there is no religious barrier. During the frist 2 years of my marrige I continued to attend meetings so although I never let the JW's Interfere with my marrige even though they tried. I was constantly reminded that I was married to an 'unbeliever' and that he would die in armageddon. I was told that he would try his hardest to keep me from serving Jehovah and that the marrige would never last becuase Jehovah was not in our marrige. I was encouraged to never have children because they would not have a spiritual upbringing. This did nothing but dicourage me. I started my fade, and made my final break last year.

  If you are considering marrying a non-JW, do not expect him to convert, because most likely he will not. It will be hard if you want to continue to be an active JW because the congregtion will try thier hardest to turn you against your husband.

  Welcome HapEmelissa!

  I was a babtized jW in good standing with the congregation when I married a non-jw in 1996. I was not Df'd or reproved but I was 'marked' . I was not allowed to be married in the KH and my family was encouraged to not attend or to have anything to do with my wedding. After I was married, I was no longer invited to congregation get-togethers and I lost all my witness friends. So even though you will not be officially DF'd you will be treated as such.
