Loaded Words
by new light inthe other day a jw relative referred to two otherwise anonymous women in the back seat of a car as "two sisters", as in 2 female jws.
neither of us knows them, and they were peripherals to the main story, but the use of the word "sisters" as opposed to women implied certain superiority, as if what happened matters more because the two women were jws.
the psychological oddities of the jws become more apparent with each passing day.

SEATTLE / TACOMA advice needed please
by new light inmy wife and i are moving to the area, preferably between seattle and tacoma, and would like to narrow our apartment search to the nicer neighborhoods.
we both are total newbies to washington and are hoping for some voices of experience to help us avoid the old "trial and error" method.
also, i'll be working in the construction trade and my job is much improved when working in the high-end homes, so if anyone knows where the wealthier people live, that would narrow down some areas for my job search.

Who else has trouble making friends?
by new light inhaven't posted here in a while, but i"ve been out now almost three years.
just looking to hear from others who have had trouble making friends due to a childhood of jw antisocialism toward the real world.
it's really starting to piss me off that i still keep people at a distance and do things to nip any new friendships at the bud when it gets that far.

New DF/DA Policy?
by new light inwould someone who has the new od book explain any changes in "keeping the congregation clean"?
is it still the same policy or have they actually changed anything?
i'd especially like to know if they are changing their tune on the "inactive".

Do belief and logic have to be enemies?
by new light inafter much, much soul searching this past weekend i was once again confronted with the possibility of what can be called the divine.
it was not exactly a pleasant experience, as i have been denying, even ridiculing the idea of god basically since exiting the jws (guess i was more traumatized than i thought).
during this last year i have been convinced that i must have been crazy for believing in god.

Who cares if the JWs are right?
by new light inthis is by no means an original idea, but even if the jws have been right all along, i don't care.
if pleasing god means not knowing what to think or feel without checking with headquarters first, then i don't need him.
who would want to be caught up in an eternal nightmare where the entire population was a braindead mass of clean-cut yes men?
