Dating and the ex-JW
by Layla33 ini am still surfing around this forum and i am happy to see there is are topics related to relationships.
it is nice to see this here.. to be honest, ever since i was out of the jw religion, i have tossed over ever dating an ex jw or an inactive jw.
i have occasionally come across this situation and weighed both the pros and cons.

My moment, my epiphany, my rebirth
by Layla33 ini remember it like it was yesterday, i was 15 years old.
i had woken up in the middle of the night and dared to ask the question that had been brewing in me for a long time.. "what if there is no armageddon".. i can't remember what the catalyst was, maybe observing my own family and every disfunction known to mankind, although every preached that in "jehavoh's organization" there were no such things.
maybe it was some ground breaking announcement, some new revelation that totally contradicated what i was mind controlled to preach every saturday morning, but in one moment, i dared myself to question it.

Loss of privileges when family member is disfellowshipped
by Agnes inif a family member is disfellowshipped (for example a son or a daughter) what sort of "privileges" would a family lose?
would they still be permitted to have bible studies in their home, go out in field service and would they be marked as bad association?

Do you shun Jw's now?
by AK - Jeff ini have gone thru phases with this.
i sometimes have forced jw's who shun me to speak, or be embarrassed if they don't.
then i let up on that as the hurting lessened over time.
