Sorry, but I'm with the general concensus now... RUN. Don't wait until you're too involved and it is too late. I've been there and done that. My life will never be the same.

How Will History Treat The Jehovah's Witness Religion?
by minimus injust as presidents and prime ministers think about how history will view them, one must wonder what legacy the watchtower society aka jehovah's witnesses, will have.
to some, the witness religion is so irrelevant that whatever happens, it means nothing.
yet, they have been in existence for over 100 years and according to their records, are still going strong......what will history or what does history say about this religion??

WOULD YOU GIVE THE JW'S THIS?
by integ ina jw relative brought out something i actually had to agree with.
we were discussing positive vs. negative aspects of the "truth".
she brought out that the witnesses do not participate in war, and i thought 'gee, that's probably a good thing'.

I think they promote good morals and family life.
Amac, read some of my previous posts. I couldn't disagree with you more.

Do you grind your teeth?
by SheilaM ini've been having horrible pain mainly the back of my head, migraine but not ya know.
well i went to the dentist to day and he seems to think it is stress <boy why would i be under stress

Sheila, if you happen to be taking an anti-depressant, that may be the cause of your grinding. After I started taking Effexor, I ground my teeth so badly that I actually started to wear them down in the back, and I had KILLER headaches. Sometimes my jaws would throb all day long.
The medical term for this is "bruxism" and it shows up as a potential side effect of several anti-depressants, but first of all, no one knows what it means and second, the doctors don't seem to mention it.
The mouthpiece works as long as you (or Thunder) don't mind you drooling all over your pillow!!

I've never been a JW. I'm just a WORLDLY GIRL! (When I started posting, I had just been arguing with my then-husband about the disparaging way his family referred to "worldly" people or "unbelievers" - UNBELIEVINGGIRL was just too long!!!

Elder Kid Behaviour An Issue? 22/10/2003 Awake!
by Stephanus inin the young people ask section, the question is posed: "how can i come out from under my parents' shadow" then you get two quotes from supposed elders' kids, identified only by their first names.
one says he is only known as his elder father's son, whereas the other one feels pressure to live up to high standards being an elder's son.
the tower's response?

I think the elder is showing his winkie to the little boy on the front row.

Being honest with myself and my past
by Dawn ini was talking with my husband a few nights ago about a situation with my jw family that really upset me.
it is truly a ridiculas situation which my husband (never a jw) agreed, and as i ranted on about their indoctrination and their beliefs he looked at me and said "you're right, but how can you act so shocked, you used to be just like them.".
damn!

(((((((((((Dawn))))))))))))) Don't worry about the past, focus on the future.
There but for the grace of God go I.
Always has been one of my favorite sayings.
