thought i would start a discussion, and hopefully a positive one, on what successes you’ve enjoyed since leaving the org.. each of us is different as people, in life experiences etc.

however we all share one common factor in that we have all experienced the negativity, to a greater or lesser degree, of being a jw and the org.. each success is worth celebrating so i invite you to share some of your achievements.

it does not matter how ‘big or small’ it is, share it with us.. my achievement means a great deal to me both personally and professionally.

If I was still a JW today I would be living on the edge financially and worried to no end about medical bills. The friends still in many are struggling because they didn't make plans for the future.But the the number one reason why I feel I have been so successful, my wife today. She was so instrumental in helping me crawl out of the darkness I was in. She is my success story or I'am her success story.

Is Watchtower now loosening the bedroom rules?

by OneGenTwoGroups in

i was at my assembly when this was discussed last week.

of course i hadn't prepared and i heard "no rules about limits", or at least i thought i did.. here's the direct quote from the watchtower study article.. "although the bible does not provide specific rules about the kinds and limits of love play that might be associated with natural sexual intimacy, it mentions displays of affection.

the watchtower (study edition) august 2016 : making christian marriage a success, paragraph 8.. what say you?.

Another "good" elder might be getting the axe....

by humblepotato in

jw
friends

so our congregation is full of hardliner elders, 3 of them, who are not gentle, kind or loving.. people have either moved away or quit trying because one elder inparticular was going to drive them crazy with all his rules and nit picking and being righteous over much.

(and he is pissed that he hasn't been accepted to the school.

hmmm, i wonder why!).

Most elders that I knew back in the 70's-80's if they had young ones 50% or higher were DF or left the organization..And the elders that were super elders(next to Jehovah), their kids really went crazy. Looking back those elders that were hardliners in so many cases their own house wasn't in order. The bottom line, some folks can not handle that kind of power.....They way I figure it even if your kids are grown and 3 out of 4 leave the borg something was wrong in your household. So you record in your own household should be questioned, if you should remain an elder. I know several elders and all their kids have left the borg and they are still elders today.
