My ex-wife[dub] accidentlly "touched" herself when she was about 8. This resulted in several bible studies from mom. She had no idea what she was being taught. She was home-schooled so knew nothing about sex. Her mothers advice for her marriage night, do it on your side with the lights out.

Pulled out of Sex Ed classes
by Nosferatu infor those of you who had a jw childhood, were you pulled out of sex education classes?
did it bother your conscience if school surprised you with one?
after being deprived from sex knowledge and since the society doesn't make diagrams, how did you learn about it?

8 years. The final kick was the blatant hypocrisy. As a whole dubs from the local level all the way to New York and dish whats wrong with everthing in this world{because its all Satanic}, but can take it when they make mistakes. What a terrible pressure they put themselves under and everyone who believes it. By the way the year 1975 came up before I became a Dub. I was tod the society never directly said the world would end then, that it was over-zealous publishers that drew the wrong conclusion. I ask what conclusion were they suppose to arrive at and who was providing that direction?

Do JW couples really have better relationships?
by Latin assassin from Manhattan inare jw marriages any better than the ones 'in the world' as they put it?
when they walk from door to door or mingle after a meeting they appear to be models of ideal marriages.
do you have any experiences with married couples in the 'truth'?

Too many times JW marriages are based on the wrong things. My ex-wife was from a family of position chasers. I went from an elder-pioneer {good marriage material} to strugggling with my field ministry, there was always pressure from here family that we weren't doing enough. Finally after becoming a irregular publisher, she left and went to her spiritually strong family and demanded a divorce based on endangering her spirituality. What a crock of shit. The fact is we both made a mistake and married the wrong person. The only thing in common that we had was that we were JW's. You believe that is the most important thing, lies lies, lies. The most important thing is that you have unconditional love. That means loving your mate and children more than the imperfect WTBTS.

I gave the borg 20 years. when I needed them the most, none of them were there for me. When I finally had an enough of their hypocrisy I wrote a letter which I knew would get me DFed. The elders were on me like flies to a dead animal. They said I was rejecting my family. They wanted to help me by giving me a chance to "voice" my complaints, when they had totally rejected my voice before. They insisted over an over again that they come to my house, to set matters straight. They refused to act on serious matters in the cong. which I knew as a former elder should have been addressed but they blew me off because of loyalty to their family and friends. Absolute double standards. I was DFed for talking too much to a DFed person. Yet lying. theft from a business, unauthorized use of a motor vechicle, and providing false information to a government agency were OK. I was so lost I could not believe this could happen. Yet when the shock of what had happen settled the sick feeling started in time to fade. As I did more and more research on the borg. on sites like these and others, the pain went away. They did me a huge favor by DFing me. They make you think your losing everything, your not. Your gaining your freedom. You see them for what they are. A small group of people who think they better than the rest of us. LONG LIVE US PAGANS

Usually what is monitored is the persons behavior starting with the time they make an effort to come back. It is assumed that when a person is d-f'd they engage in all kinds of "unscriptural" things. If you blew out candles on a birthday cake while you were out they shouldn't care, just don't do it if you want to go back because then that will matter.

Black shirts were a no no in the hall I was in. It troubled some of the elders. They felt it was too mafia. My wife, who is also an ex-jw, was counseled for wearing a sun dress, you know those sexy shoulders are going to stumble someone out the door.

Is it me or are the Watchtower Publications disappearing ??????
by run dont walk ini was at the hospital the other day in the waiting room for about 2 hours with a friend, and i noticed only one awake magazine from 2000 in the pile of reading material.. i always thought that the watchtower was trying to "preach the good news to all the inhabited earth before the end comes".
well , they don't like the internet, which is the # 1 way to inform people, you cannot get a subscription anymore unless someone at the hall does it for you or you are still attending, probaly why i didn't see any at the hospital, or lawyers office, or doctor's office etc etc etc.. it seems to me that they are trying to limit what info gets out to the outside world, is this not contradicting all they have preached the last 50 years.. no subscriptions for anyone who might want one ?????????.
no new books, for anyone who is not a jw.. what do you think ????????.
