Looking for some help about marriage
by Matt_fs inhope this isnt a repost, couldnt find anything on the subject.. have a friend who is marrying a jw.
he isn't a jw but she is (even though she doesnt really go or believe in it), her parents are strict jw's but wont goto their wedding cause of something about being unevenly yoked?
now they both want her parents to go, but the parents tend to think they are not allowed to go.

Misleading advice at the Hall.
by edmond dantes inwords of wisdom at the kingdom hall went something like " don't marry for looks because looks fade.
" what i want to know is if the person you married turns out to be a crabby old miserable so and so how do you cope with ugly personality plus ugly looks.i mean if you marry a looker at least you have enjoyed some vision of delight, if you get stuck with both you are in a double bind.

Anyone heard this one about Home Studies??
by aniron ini picked this up on another forum the poster said the following.. i was also told by a witness at the door that they are no longer doing real home bible studies with new 'suckers'.
instead they are doing 'doorstep studies' because everyone is 'so busy'.
in other words they can't get anyone to let them in for an hour so they now call their little 'preach and runs' bible studies.

New Watchtower - Who is the Antichrist?
by TheKings ini admit to being curious as soon as i saw this new bit of propoganda put on the dining room table 'casually' in my view by my mother.
i know i can't look at any of the magazines without being questioned why...so i took a look while i had some private time.. what a fine lot of manure... :p. .
they must be getting scared in brooklyn.

anyhoo.. we get into this discussion about crosses, he says that its a slap in the face to jesus to be "glorifying" his torture

Have any former JW's kept any beliefs ..
by MrsBee infrom your days as an active witness.... i.e.
the trinity - i know some former jw's who still dont believe in the trinity, and cant fathom there being one.
holidays - i mean, can you celebrate xmas without feeling guilty and if you celebrate xmas , do you celebrate it as jesus' b-day.. (i didnt know the origin until a couple of years ago.

So What Exactly is an Unbaptized Publisher
by MrsBee in.
a lady i know was telling me that she studied for 10 years and was considered an upbaptized publisher before being baptized.. is that possible, i didnt think and organization such as the jw's would let you just soak up all their "knowledge" without becoming one of the crew... :)
although havent been on here in a while since i had my son, i came on here asking for advice because i was having trouble dealing with the fact my husband was thinking about going back to the dubs, and he still hasnt gone back..yayayayayay... and im soooo happy, he still has most of their beliefs , but thats okay, they arent 100% bad, they helped him change his life..but i dont bother him cuz i dont want him runnin back!!!
