i left in the 90's and marriage partners were similar in age at my former congregation.
i ran into a former jw friend from my childhood.
i haven't seen him in 15 years.
I said this before, the borg is a paradise for men, young and old. I was
new in the org. and my book study conductor had recently lost his wife.
One night after the book study he was talking about why he needed to get
married. The brother was very horney, he made it clear when we were talking, LOL.
This brother had just retired so he was in his 60's, he married a sister in her 40's.
After he got married the book study I may say was less tense...
long story short my mom was acting weird, snubbing me, when i tried bringing her grandkids to see her, so i tried again and this time i just went up and hugged her since she wouldn't hug me or acknowledge any affection.
when i released her i immediately saw her annoyed look and asked what?
bang, she unleashes a floodgate of how she's still mad at me for going to another church that believes the trinity.

Not only are they called Gods but they also sing, youtube "God Angels
singing caught on tape". LOL
for the past three years, my husband and i have been watching these sermons by remarkable worldwide speakers.
the biblical truths we have learnt from their presentations, in such a short period of time most definitely tip the scales compared to the truth the jw.org led me to believe i had for over 20 plus years of my life.
thanks to these videos, we have now found the truth and the truth is jesus christ (john 14:6).
Clambake: It's funny you mention "learn how to play a guitar". I learned, me and
15-20 other seniors. We performed for our families last friday. We were 25 strong
and we rock the house, over 100 attend .
Maybe you don't realize but many here are learning new things since leaving
the borg, but by commenting on "Faith" subjects it keep our minds sharp.
Many here still have family members in that cult.

Nicola: I looked at the first video ,Stephen Bohr. Question for you,
he open up his sermon "The book of Genesis is the pre history of
mankind, the origin of mankind, the begaining of human history.
Mankind began 6 thousand years ago, so did all the animals.
OK, do you believe that?? He did mention we won't go back to the millions
of years he created this earth only six thousand years ago when all living things
were created. Sorry I could not go any further..

startingover: you are right . I remember when I became a JW no one could tell
me anything, I knew it all. I have the answer for every question for life here and
the hereafter, LOL. But I have learned to hold my tongue not to preach my belief,
only when it is necessary. What's my belief, hell I don't know but I know the bible
and it is not that.

God gave us free will and thus allowing us to face the consequences
of our choices solves nothing. If the creator could intervene personally
when it came to the magic tricks in the Bible like making the sun stand
still for a day in a BATTLE, he could do something to feed a starving
kid.
Theology tries to paper these horrible facts over with explanations about
why there is evil is nothing but BS.

A drunk man stumble into a church where there were baptisms being
performed. The priest notice him and ask him if he wanted to find Jesus.
"Sure," said the drunk man. "I'll find Jesus." So the priest took the drunk
man's head and dunked it into the baptismal waters. When he came up
for air, he was sputtering and coughing.
"Damn," said the drunk man. "Are you sure he fell in there?"

Nicola: "we have now found the truth and the truth is JC".
Speaking for myself I wasn't a born in, raised a JW. My grandfather
was a baptist minister my mom and dad faithful to their death.
After leaving the borg I went back , Baptist. At that time I search the
bible for that elusive JC and GOD. We won't talk about the Old testaments
because those books are scary. The NT I studied it, and I mean researched.
You no what he is still as elusive.

Announcement : It is sad to report the brother elder 80 years old
passed last night on his honeymoon. We are happy to say he went to
meet Jehovah with a big smile.
