Its easy for a witness to answer a hypothetical question so affirmatively but I doubt that when faced with the reality they would follow through. Take heart.

Session #8: "Bullet in the Head"
by Brian J inso at the phd today with my wife and me, and in slowly getting to the heart of matters (like peeling an onion if you ask me), the dialogue in part went like this: .
phd: if it came down to it, would you take a bullet in the head instead of giving up membership in your organization?
wife: absolutely, i would die for my faith.

Its a good Nunes chart but missing critical info. Dossier was begun by RNC candidates against trump and then taken over by DNC. The investigation into Russian meddling was begun long before the dossier was introduced, begun on info from Australian intel about a trump campaign aide, the Greek one, bragging about Russian meddling in Trump campaign. lol. FISA was based on that to start with. Always good to fact check.

a question after my first JW meeting
by bleak ini attended my first jw meeting recently.
first, i would like to say what i agree with about the jehovah's witnesses beliefs and practices.. 1. they don't consider israeli's as "god's chosen people" and they don't worship israel as some holy land filled with righteous jews (although there are some there) as most so-called "christians" (christian zionists) erroneously believe they are instead of the "hypocrites" and "vipers" that it is actually filled with.. 2. they don't celebrate "holidays" like easter and christmas which are, in fact, remnants of earlier pagan practices.. 3. they don't put nation before god and christ.
they don't believe in war or going to war because of some crazy government/cia secret agenda.

My Boyfriend's Family Wants to Meet Mine (My Parent's are JWs) Help!
by LaurenM inso i have been "faded" for approximately 2.5 years.
my parents know i haven't attended a meeting in quite some time, but don't know that i have been dating a guy for about eight months.
we really love each other and his family is super sweet.

If you are baptized and inactive and faded successfully it will only be a problem if your family don't believe you when you say you are not doing the horizontal mambo. Are you living with this guy? Then I think you know what the answer will be. If you are going to marry the guy, get it done, then avoid the drama. If you are not ready to marry and you can lie successfully about the sex thing, or in fact can truthfully say there's no cha cha going on, take a chance. Remember, two or more witnesses or a confession is the rule. Definitely tell his parents about the wackiest religion in the country before the introduction.

Bucket list
by Jrjw indoes anyone have a bucket list and has it helped you achieve anything?
someone said i should do one.

I've always thought of the term "bucket list" as being a negative. No offense if it works for you. I do, however, make plans to do one grand thing a year at least. So far so good. It might sound lame but I want to go to the Ronald Reagan presidential library. He may have been controversial but his reign was a wild time. -

Writing a story
by HowTheBibleWasCreated ini was listening to the audiobook of the silmarillion at work awhile ago and noted that the 'creation story' basically included, god, the devil, angels and even a special people (elves).
(btw gandalf is obviously a jesus-like figure).
i got to thinking that much of the prose of the bible could easily be reworded.. after all bibles like the world english bible are copyright free.

DF’d or DA???
by DATA-DOG inso, i think i’m going to be df’d, but elders are out of town and no decision has been officially reached.
what would happen if i sent a certified overnight letter and said that i was going to disassociate before they have their meeting??.
i know the two conditions are similar, but i’m just curious... dd.

Have you had a committee meeting already and they are debating the results, or have they even met with you? If they have not met with you I suppose you can DA, If you confessed to 2 people, elders included, it is likely that they would choose to DF. The record will show you were kicked out. They would also note your confession if you DA. Being DA'd makes no difference except you can say to JW's you meet "you quit" rather than were "kicked out". I think that ship has sailed. More trouble than its worth.
