  One more thing to account for:

  i was thinking today, another flip flop that effected many people and they never gave a good explanation for is the divorces caused by the "unnatural sex" explanation in the 70's.

  first it is a "no no" and you can get a divorce because of it to "it is still wrong but you can not get a scriptural divorce because of it".

  they sanctioned the breakup of marriages and then basically said "oops" we shouldn't have said that but don't criticize anyone who did it already and is remarried.

  And for whatever region, seems like some regions either get the new light later than others, or decide to RE-engorce old light. My brothers marraige broke up over this, in the late 1990's. That was the first I had ever heard of it.

  What grammatical errors bug you the most?

  by poppers in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for me it's the use of : .

  it's as a possessive - it's means "it is", so if you don't want to say "it is" don't use the apostrophe.

  there are others that bug me but this one is the worst.

  I also would never join another religion. But, what I have done is, I drop in on one church very close to home, as much as I can on Sunday morning. This is just to give my children some sort of church in their lives. You can do a little like that, just church on Sunday, but no committment to become a member. I still get real wary when I hear them putting any kind of emphasis on babptism (we've seen a few since we've been there, swimming pool is right inside of the stage).

  I was raised JW since age 4. And yes, pretty bad being in while teenager, especially being an elders daughter, and having strict parents. I remember the phrase, still rings in my ears, just like it was yesterday "YOU CANT, how would it look, you are elders daughters". Those years are already such a difficult time of life, the borg adds 10 more tons of pressure, to what already is a hard time of life.

  I was a late bloomer too because of it.
