Most definitely.. Especially after the shady characters I have dated in the past... Who were supposed good JW boys. .. With the horror stories I have its a wonder I even want to date at all. And I have to admit the thought of dating is kinda scary.

Do you google about someone before you date him or her?
by Iamallcool ini do not understand why many people will not google to see if he/she has a mugshot, criminal record, etc......

JW Apolgist rant here...and confession.
by Julia Orwell ini really don't like people disparaging active jws on this site by calling them stupid, idiots, morons and that, and making out like they're willing puppets to the gb or cruel at heart.
or describing them like they're puke or as having no desire to learn or listen.. to you, all these things may be true.
we all have opinions and are entitled to them.

Julia,
Thank you for your post. I guess I would be considered an active JW, but I feel we should each be able to have our own beliefs about things. I hate the practice of shunning and do not follow this "rule" at all. I govern myself by 2 rules 1. Love God 2. Love your nieghbor as your self. So I agree with you that no one should call another person stupid, or an idiot or other mean names.
I personally still believe in God, but if someone did not I would not call them names or belittle them. I think we should all be able to share our opinions and beliefs without fear of judgement. But sadly I have other friends who are XJWs that I even met on this site, but because of people attacking or belittling them rarely come to this site anymore.
I hope it can be more of a trend of allowing others to believe what they like and if you do share your thoughts or personal beliefs to do so without bullying others.

John 3:16 - "believe" or "exercise faith?" Same thing?
by Faithful Witness ini recently asked my jw mother, if she believed that jesus died for her sins.
(john 3:16).
she agreed, but then added the jw party line, "you have to exercise faith also.

I don't know if the translation of John 3:16 is perfectly accurate.
But one thought I have on this is at James 2:19, that the Demons believe and shudder. So just because you beleive in something, doesn't mean you support it or accept it.

YOU ARE DOING A GOOD JOB!
by abiather ini am still a jw.
i cant give any more details than this because of my family members who are devout jws.
i cherish a larger picture in my heart without anybody knowing ittrue worship means love and compassion, (luke 10:25-37) not belonging to any organization or having a set of belief system!

Wow... Sounds like you are in same boat as I am. I also am still a JW. But don't practice shunning. Because I feel the same way. And always chose to follow Jesus command instead of mans. And Jesus two commands were love Jehovah with your whole heart and love your neighbor as your self. So glad to know I am not alone... Because it really feels that way sometimes.

Mine has the same error. I had found another typo earlier, but forgot to write it down and now can't find. But it was a foot note directing to the appendix, and it had A3 instead of A2. It was obvious that it meant to be A2. It might have been visa versa with the A2 - A3 , I can't remember. Now it's going to drive me crazy til I find it again.
