  just wanted to put this out there for any lurkers.. as someone that grew up during the 70s and 80s, we were promised that we would be in the first picture long ago.

  if you are still on the fence, please let this sink in for a while..

  I’m Seeing Some Trump Fatigue Out There

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i’ve heard from a few trump voters that they are getting tired of the whole trump thing.

  one person yesterday said he lies.

  another person said she hears from her clients in her business that the constant drama and push back from all sides against trump is fatiguing.. i remind people that before this worldwide pandemic, we had the best numbers in jobs.

  Finding Normality, Common Ground & Community

  by dh in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi,.

  it's been a long time since i posted on here, but i find myself at a point in life where the input of others who've been through a similar experience would be nice to hear.. i'm 32 years old, was born in the jw and left when i was 18, so it's fair to say the bulk of my adult life has been spent out, but the bulk of my adult life i have been pretty much working, and i'm often told i am a 'workaholic'.

  i suppose now looking back in perspective, i have always kept myself very occupied with work, surface friends and surface experiences, but never really allowed anyone or anything in any deeper.. now i look at it an identify that there are some massive barriers still up, and i have developed a person who is successful in real life in terms of whatever real life percieves as doing ok, but is deep down completely isolated from other people 'like me' if that makes sense.. i do not believe in the idea of god, or religion in general, i've always said it is just a crutch and a control mechanism, but it brings me to the thought of how i feel right now, that i have lacked for most of my life anyone to share common ground with, common views and community etc, and that most people turn to their church for that, but for a person such as myself, there is no such place.. it doesn't make me want to go anywhere near a church or reconsider anything but it does make me think sometimes that it would be nice to have an alternative, with real life interaction and sharing of ideas, i miss that in my life, and i think because of how i am wired and how my experience has been, it is becoming a negative thing, and is probably the beginnings of the path to implosion.. anyways, would be interested to hear if anyone has had a similar experience.. dh.

  here is what i have observed about some of the atheists here.

  Men - Do You Know What Women Really Want in a Relationship ?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i heard a woman being interviewed on a radio station this morning and thought this would be an interesting subject to discuss !

  in the interview this woman stated that , " men many times only hug you or touch when they want to have sex .

  if more men saw that holding hands in public, or the need to reach out to touch a woman affectionately outside of the bedroom , put your arm around her casually- without any expectations , more men would end up in the bedroom later with a woman who feels she has been loved throughout the day !

  Who lets it be known that they were once a JW?

  by lfcviking in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am curious, for those of us here who have left the jw org, who actually lets it be known to people that they were once a practicing jw.. for me, this is something i tend to keep quiet because it is something i'm not particularly proud of.

  anyone else feel the same way?.
