  howdy everyone, i must start by saying "thank you"for posting all this information on the jw way of life in here, i appreciate everything that you guys are putting out there, both for your own use and to help others like me.

  i've posted a couple times, but mostly i'm here to learn, but now it's time for me to ask questions!.

  i am not a jw, i was involved with one for several years, and we have a son.

  Start as you mean to go on. If you what a church wedding, have one. Invite them to come, their choice if they don't. Don't live your life around them. Be nice, keep in contact but do what you and your huband want.

  I have peered into the abyss and seen the Watchtower evil !

  i have peered into the abyss and seen the evil.

  the jehovah's witnesses are diabolical disciples of satan.they do eat their young and have murdered more innocents than the global terrorists .

  we have tackled a wide range of topics here,such as wrecked family's and marriages,and their blasphemous gospel of gobbledygook.

  I agree I see many witless that I grew up with. Teeth now broken stubs in their mouths, grossly overweight. And they have the cheek to tell me that it will all be fixed after amagedon.

  i go to cake decorating class, another class member was talking about there mother i recognised her mother as a jw.

  i mention that my mother knew this person and she agreed and completley shut down the conversation.

  however what was strange was the class occurs on a tuesday night, from 7-9pm.

  I should explain this is an adults class we are both in our forties. It is held in a private home with only two other people attending. The JW is a mother in her 40's. She said it was inconvience to attend on Tuesdays and I looked at her very carefully, she couldn't look me in the eye. It was the cult at work but she could'nt admit it.

Her husband was always outside at 9 pm to take her home. However after 3 lessons she was unable to due to a "meeting" implying it was not a "church gathering" but a real meeting. The question is, are they called meetings because (some) people are embarrased to tell the truth and looking stupid, or is a larger issue of the JW not wanting the outside world not to see how time consuming and demanding the cult really is?

  She is unable to attend on tuesday nights now and is going to the Thursday morning class.
