Listen everyone,

I just turned 30. You know what I see with the JWs around my age? They are simply not hardcore! Most of them that is.

JW life is social for them, totally SOCIAL. They don't know ANYTHING about Bible prophecy, doctrine, etc. They are mostly born ins whos kids will likely never get baptized (this is already happening). They can't defend their beliefs!

They are too busy working, having kids, and enjoying life to care for the guilt trips. Hell, why do you think there is the 30hr/month pioneering thing now?

I'm pretty damn sure I will never go back, not even for memorial! My wife is awake but still goes sometimes for social reasons. I am keeping all bound volumes so I can blow the lid off this religion when my kids are adolesents.

Hi everyone,

So I have been doing a 90 day fast from anything JW related. Getting close to 2 months in. Went to a Baptist service this morning. I'm not 100% certain that I DO NOT want to be a JW, but have some SERIOUS problems with the ORG.

Well, my wife is completely opposite! Her problem is with the social structure. She doesn't feel a lot of love and social support for moms her age.

Anyway, she went tonight with the kids and told me she got "love bombed" (her words). Yep. Women engaging her, saying they should get dinner, and even one tearing up and saying "I just wanted me and my kids to make it into paradise...you need to be here". Well, my wife is fairly emotionally driven, especially socially driven. She sounds like it got to her. She said "I feel like anywhere we go is going to have problems". LOL! Any help as to what I should do?

sitting here reading about 1 corinthians 10:9 and how the wt uses "jehovah" instead of "christ" in the nwt.

looking in the interlinear and it says "xbc".

anyone know what that means?.

Thanks. So, the earliest manuscript says uses "Christos"? Interesting how I never knew about this when an active JW.
