Need Some Advice
by skeptikchick ini was just wondering if anyone could enlighten me with their experiences in regards to telling their parents about a serious relationship with a non-jw.
my boyfriend who i've been with for 2 years now and live with, does not know how to approach things when his mother (a very devout jw) comes to visit this summer.
we have separate rooms, and so we were thinking that we basically have two options.

I felt more love tonight than at memorial service...
by jaffacake ini was brought up a catholic, then learned as a baptised adventist in my teens that the pope was the anti-christ, and that only we were the one true remnant church etc.
the adventists did have true christian love, even if they were somewhat misguided.
when i drifted away from religion, i still refused to marry in my wife's catholic church.

Milk, Vaccines, and Carbohydrates
by Kaethra in(apologies for splitting this post up, but i cant seem to get my browser to allow me to post in paragraphs!
) since leaving jws i find i am much more willing to accept health care advice from the traditional scientific sources.
i get a little twitch when i hear someone say i read a book about that and so-and-so, the doctor saidya da ya da ya da (against traditionally accepted advice).

A Course In Miracles
by homesteader inis anyone here familiar with the book a course in miracles?
as i look back in retrospect this book was instrumental in the deprogramming of my mind from all the jw indroctination.
one of the most useful things i learned is to stop judging and you will not be judged, stop reviling and you will not be reviled.
