As a kid and teenager now, I never found them fun. The only fun part would be hanging out with friends at a skate park during lunch lol.

A God from Nothing? Wait...
by suavojr in.
forget jesus, the stars died so you could be born.. lawrence m. krauss, a universe from nothing: why there is something rather than nothing.
we can get a god from nothing and have no idea how this entity came into existence, but it is impossible for the believer to accept a universe from nothing.. .

My parents try that arguement all the time lol. Then they try to pull the god made time arguement, so is therefore infinite. That's the point I give up .-.

Head coverings for women
by Comatose inmy mom used to throw a paper napkin on her head when forcing us to study after i was baptised.
i've seen scarves, and shawls, and a very few hats.. isn't using a napkin on your head just the same as not bothering?
what a dumb rule too.

Silly rules that come from the bible. Just be happy the JWs don't follow the Mosaic law, lol.

Scared I'll Never be Happy Again
by Stumbeline inso it's' been 8 months since i was disfellowshiped.
i moved out of my mothers house accross the country to room with a friend.
things have been going ok, it's just strange to be so far away from everything that felt familiar, even the meetings.

I felt pretty messed up at first when I left the truth. My recommendation would be to take small steps. Soon you'll feel good about yourself

Dealing with overbearing parent?
by make yourself inhow was it growing up dealing with over bearing parents being a born in?
right now i'm being guilt tripped about relationships and friendships with normal people.
it makes no sense to me, how can you tell someone who is grown not to hang out with certain individuals?

Wow. Going through the same thing. EXACT same thing. This may be the same in your case, but since I've always felt isolated and that I'm not normal, I really just put myselft down, instead of moving forward with my social life. This is my second year of highschool, and man, have I ever moved forward. After put negative thoughts behind me, I made tons of friends and I guess you could say I'm popular (classical sense of the word. there aren't really classes in my school). Really, you can do what you want with your life, and be who you want. Trust me, I've been depressed and suicidal, but now I'm really having the time of my life. Hope you feel better man!

If You Owned This Site Would It Be Any Different?
by minimus inthis site is probably one of the most informative jw sites on the internet.
if you want to keep abreast of the watchtower, this is a great place to find out the latest in jw land.
kudos to simon for keeping it going all these years!!!

Not really content related, but I'd go with the normal forum system where the most recently posted on thread is the top thread.

My wife is never going to wake up.
by marriedtoajw inwhat do you do when you believe in your heart that your spouse is never going to wake up to the tatt?
when you're sick of the cherade of pretending you can deal with the spiritual division when you dont think you can anymore.
when you're convinced that your spouse is so decieved she is lost in a desert and is fine with living by the mirage.

How did you guys manage to get out the house and do things if you were in the truth as a teenager?

WITNESSES CAN STOP REPORTING FIELD SERVICE!
by The Searcher inthe lawyers acting on behalf of the wtbts/g.b./'mother' during a paedophile case a couple of years ago, have stated on record that - .
a) "field ministry is not controlled or monitored by the elders, the congregation, or watchtower".
b) "an individual publisher's field ministry activity, including the time and manner it is carried out, is a personal matter between the publisher and his god.".

As a JW I always believed that dinosaurs at one point existed. My whole family did, almost all the JWs I knew did. One time I was out for dinner, and one of the people with us was convinced that they never existed. What did you guys believe? Is there anything the WTS puplished on the topic? I don't recall the WTS ever stating they existed, or stating that they didn't. Now that I look back on it, it's a bit strange. What are you thoughts?
