it never ceases to amaze me that your personal friends have no clue what it is like to have been one.
i was speaking with a friend the other day about having been a jw.
she said, oh i have a dear friend of 30 years who is one and she is so nice!
In my community most people know about JW's, and they never say anything
positive about them. When you mention JW's there is always someone in their family
that is a JW. The comments, wow they drink, what happen to 1975, they don't come
around anymore since they became a JW. The folks here know about JW's.
My sister Church, the minster gave a sermon on JW's.
i posted a topic a few months ago on the family gathering.
well it turn out the jw's.
side of the family are excited about it, even though they know i will be there.. i believe they are tired of the shunning bs..

i have been thinking, it is a lonely place in the real world knowing ttatt but if we have a phrase we can unite, support and help each other.
the question we will ask is:.
what's your favorite bible verse?

what if the governing body members bought a ticket or somehow obtained one.
then the unthinkable happens...they won!
how would they be able to hide that?
some christians explanation for evil in the world.
i came across this "serpent seed".. it claims that cain was the offspring of eve and the talking serpent (sorry i'm lmao while.
writing this) that christians much later identified as satan.
Yes there are some weird doctrines indeed. Flagellant is one of the of those.
Believe that the best way to absolve sin is to beat yourself silly with whips, switches
and other nasty painful devices, to imitate the beating of Christ.
i've studied and observed several lottery patterns.
this one is now gone so nothing lost by revealing it.
i had a certain history search and noticed that almost each week the past few months a list of numbers not used recently were being used 1 per week.
Easy folks, a group of 26 (there are 26 mega numbers) each member kick in $100.00 and pick
one mega number. You pick three of your favorite numbers and wheeled the other two.
Example if I pick 6 (my favorite number) for the mega and 16 26 39 X X mega 6, a hundred
picks X 25 other members pick=2600 chances. For a billions dollars I would kick in a 100 bucks.
OK who's in.

gandhi probably meant god does not favor or follows any organized religion.. unfortunately the quote caused his demise.. how would the world of religions change if they believed and taught this?.
1) jw would have never existed.. 2) wars, no need.
( religious wars).

1) JW would have never existed.
2) Wars, no need.( religious wars)
3) no door knocking. No need trying to sale your religion.
This is one way religion will survive, a uniting of all religions.
so since leaving the borg i've made quite a few stupid mistakes, hurting myself a lot..but i finally feel like i've learned and i think, in time, i'll find my happiness again...even more happiness that i could've ever had being a jw.. but my question to you guys is, what was your experience like leaving the borg?
did you struggle at all?
how long have you been out?
Life is not supposed to be great when you leave the borg. Family members that are still
JW's are puzzled. We (me and sons) should be living in the streets, jail or dead.
The boys mom (my ex) see no reason to witness to them when they visit. My one JW
daughter told me my ex brags about the boys to other JW's, how great they are doing.
My kids were born in so like so many here it was a tough road for them.
here in the uk new drinking guidelines have been issued which suggest "no more than 14 units a week - equivalent to six pints of beer or seven glasses of wine.".
another piece of the advice which is getting a lot of attention is that "if people drink, it should be moderately over three or more days and that some days should be alcohol-free.".
already people are making cries of "nanny state!
A family gathering(all non-JW's) and my JW son-in-law and my daughter, he mention
to me later, "hum no booze, amazing". It was a battle with me and my sons after we left
the Borg. A lot of problems as a result of drinking, they saw dad (me) drinking and it looked as if
dad was having a lot of fun (suffering from PTSD), but I saw the problem they were having, DUI's.
I kept hammering into their minds you can have fun without drinking and a better life.
Today, one stopped drinking completely and the other son only drink on special occasion and
I hope he have it under control.
