time is a great healer, so i believe those who can state many years out, will also state a high rate of healing has occured for them.how many years have you been out of the organization?on a scale of 1-10, ten being completely free of the pain, one being raw and still hurting with intensity, how much healing have you accomplished since leaving?related to number 2 - how much of your mind have you recaptured?

how often do your decisions still bring watchtower theology into play when making them?.

Been out 25 years. free from all brainwashing. But still would rate at about 8 out of 10 because I still have 3 daughters in that are shunning me.

.

how many of you lived with your spouse before you got married and how do you think it effected the outcome of your marriage?.

for those not married would you live with someone before you agreed to marry them?

ferret

I lived with my wife for six years before marriage. We have now been married for 20 years. I cant really say it has made any difference than if we were married from the start of the relationship.

Comments that made feel pity at last Sundays WT study

by drew sagan in

i believe it was paragraph 17, the one that spoke about the faithful slave and how there are those who wish to be "independent" and that this is wrong.

two comments came, both from elders.

elder 1: so what the paragraph is telling us is that instead of developing an independent spirit we actually want to be developing a spirit of dependece upon god's organization and the spiritual food they provide.

Welcome Babs! Newbie Post!

by Sparkplug in

hi ladies and gentlemen, i've been reading your comments, i am not a jw, my daughter is dating a boy at school who is a jw and he always talks about not celebrating holidays, and what they believe and don't believe because of their jw faith.

i wanted to find a website that i could see (for myself) the jw beliefs, i thought is this for real?

my family enjoys celebrating valentines day, because it is a day we go out a buy the children a rose, and a big heart box of candy, i remember as a kid it was a special treat to get a big heart, then we would save the box for special mementos and notes.

Welcome Babs Have a HAPPY VALENTINES DAY.
