i was just thinking that maybe to lighten it up a bit and we could talk about our funny stories about being in the jw religion.

i thought it would be fun to read.. some of my favorities:.

running a block and a half from dogs when i was about 8.. letting all my note cards when i was giving a talk fall to the floor.. tripping over the stairs as i participated in a demonstration.. laughing out loud in a talk and not being able to stop until i went to the bathroom.. having a fit of coughing that disrupted the entire meeting.

The Secret of AGING! (long but worth it)
by RollerDave in

scientists has long searched for an answer as to why we age.

there appears to be no physiological reason for the phenomena, neither within the cells, or our dna structure.

for all their effort they cannot tell us why our bodies don't just keep regenerating forever, why we grow old.. stupid scientists, they were looking in the wrong place.. allow me to elaborate, but be warned, this may go long.. your child is born and she's so tiny.

How many happy JW marriages do you know of?

just reading frequent flyer miles on the subject of feeling guilty for having a happy marriage with a non-jw.. in our congregation which i haven't attended for about a year, i can only think of two or three who seem to be happy.

of course, i don't know what happens behind closed doors, but i know of several who admit they are unhappy.

i wrote out a long list of couples who have divorced over the last 20 years--including three elders (one is on his second divorce).

Ever Got the blame?? (sorry if post is too long)
by sparrow in
1. jw
2. experiences
i have been df'd for around 4 years and have not got my back up about the org until this year.

only this last year have i been looking around for answers and started realising there is a foundation for my reasons of not going back.

at first i was happy that it wasn't because i was making excuses for not going back but bad things were happening outside of the people i know across the org.. what pissed me off the most (and the reason i found this site) is because i got the blame for my brother in-law having sex in my house with someone other than his wife (my sister) because i am not witness and thus have low standards.. i'll try to keep this short: i have 2 sisters, one brother and 2 parents (fancy that) both remarried however.

welcome to the forum!

excellent first "thread" about jws and the use of blood.

it is amazing isn't it how they put out these "doctrines" and then give the disclaimer, " but do according to your conscience.
