A Question for former bethelites?
by eisenstein inmy sister and i were talking the other day and she told me that when you are first assigned to bethel they make you sign a letter of secrecy or something like "secret service agreement"?
i was just wondering if this is true.
if it is true then don't you agree that it is a hot bed for paranoia?.

Why I don't discuss Scripture or doctrine
by Maverick inmy fathers mother was a jw all of her life and she die two years ago at the age of 97. my mother and father divorced when i was three and my mother remarried when i was 5. turns out my mother and grandmother hated each other.
so my mother raised us kids religion free.
she figured we could work out the god issues on our own.

The ONLY thing that kept me faithful to my first spouse
by YoursChelbie inthose who were active jw's and married at the same time: did being in the witness religion contribute in large part to you being faithful to your spouse?
now that you are no longer going to all the meetings or reading the bible, do you feel much more inclined to give in to all the temptations and get involved in extramarital relationships?.
would it be risky for you to actually marry a person who said the only reason they stayed faithful in a previous marriage was because they were witnesses at the time?.

People in other religions...
by boa ina thought occured to me today about a formerly held view as a jw regarding people of other religions and people who left the 'truth'.
the first view which had bothered me for many years and for some time hotly disagreed with, was the ol' bro or sis who comes back into the service car and remarks on how the householder was catholic and how they must be so stupid and blind!
the second view i actually believed before was that all people leaving the org must certainly be hopeless and lost spiritually and obviously would never go to another religion.
