  Though difficult to accept, Linda is at Peace Now. Death is so tough for those of us left behind.

  greetings fellow apostates!

  i should introduce myself, since this is my first post.

  i'm actually not an ex-jw, but rather someone who has just lost his faith in a different church, the mormon church.

  i've long suspected that in terms of the organizational aspects of our two churches, how they hook you mentally, how they condition you, how they socialize you and make it very hard to leave, from an abstract level there's really not a dime's worth of difference.

  And you know what's cool? It's cool to realize that I really am just like you guys. There's no difference between us in a sense, because we're all people who've come out of two of the thousands of the world's false religions. My church isn't any more non-true than yours, and yours isn't any more non-true than mine. They're both completely and utterly not true, and now, rather than being "special" people, blessed with an honor most people in the world didn't enjoy (membership in God's one true church), we're all just human beings, trying to figure things out and make the most of our lives.

  One thing I hated about the JW Religion is the separation of "Us" from the so called "Worldly People"

  We're all the Same like you said, "just trying to figure things out"

  I keep a plaque on top of my Computer with a Saying of Maya Angelou. "I'm Convinced I am a Child of God, That's Wonderful, Exhilarating, Liberating and Full of Promise!" This daily thought keeps my self esteem up and at the same time, keeps me humble realizing I'm only one member of a very, very large family of humans.

  i was kind of skeptical about registering or even posting anything on this site but after a long struggle of going back and forth and after talking to a friend telling me that it would be good for me i decide to do it.

  i grew up in a jehovah witness house hold.

  it all was great a had a wonderful childhood but everything went down hill when i started to have my own opinion on things.

  Oh and I forgot Dianna. Try to get involved with Volunteer Work or something else that gets you around people. Don't Isolate yourself. This, in my opinion is extremely important. I started attending Auctions and got involved with Parent Teacher Organizations with my kids' schools.

  Hi Dianna,

  There IS a Life outside of the Organization. It takes time. Stay close to the forum. There's a huge family out here with big loving arms. I've been out for about 20 years now and never been happier.

  Welcome.

  I walked out of a job back in late 1990. I had four kids and a stay at home husband. I never felt so relieved to walk out of that door! I know exactly how you feel. It will get better.

  "In all the congregations let the women keep silent."

  by senoj53 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  at 1 corinthians 14:33-35 paul writes;.

  "in all the congregations let the women keep silent, for it is not permitted for them to speak, but let them be in subjection, even as the law says.".

  if in fulfilment of joel's prophecy god's spirit was poured out on both men and women at pentecost 33 ce giving them the ability to prophesy, why did paul say that women should keep silent?.

  I never much cared for the Apostle Paul. He didn't have a high opinion of Women.
