What would make you jump on a couch?
by jojochan ini read this question in people magazine and lol'ed at the question.
i guess one of mine would be:.
to know that i won the lotto and that i don't ever have to work again, and to know that i can share the wealth to those that have none.. any one else?.

Why I belong to JWD
by Jez inmy jw sil doesn't approve of me being on this site.
she has compared it to a black person having a friend that is a member of a anti-black community.
where else can you get so many varied opinions about a religion that i grew up in, would have died for, have family members that are members of, have questions about myself and find answers to some tough questions i have?

I find there are so many smart people on this forum that is why I am here. One can learn more here than forty years a JW. as I was. I know more about their religion now then most active JW's do.

A Memo for my JW dad
by Lilycurly ini have been daed for months but only recently, after having asked every and each person he could ask (even writting a letter to the wt), my dad decided he couldn't talk to me anymore.
it has hit my non-jw mother very hard that her husband could do that.
she cries a lot, but we are trying to be strong and hold ourselves together, and try in anyway we can to make him open his eyes..... tomorrow, i have decided to leave the crisis of conscience book on his desk with a with page on it, written on big black letters that will say.... "i was wondering if every man would be capable of shunning his own children and break up his family because of a group of men.. then i realised that no, some men have chosen to open their eyes and *truly* follow jesus, example...... with love, your daughter".

Lilycurly, point out to him the quote from the elders book "pay attention to yourselves and to the flock" page 103 says " normally a close relative would not be disfellowshipped for associating with a disfellowshipped person unless there is spiritual association or an effort made to justify or excuse the wrongful course. So if he shuns you it is soley his decision.

What do you believe in now?
by janelle ini just stumbled on this site today, and am i ever glad i did!!!
i was raised as a witness, my mom being a witness and my dad a non believer.
growing up i never wanted to follow all the rules, and often broke them behind my mothers back.

Hi janelle welcome to the forum. I felt like you did when I left 26 years ago. Nobody could talk religion to me, I was very bitter. But I always felt there was something missing in my life. So I did some investigating into various churches and after six years of ex dubdom I along with my wife joined another religion, and have been happy there for 20 years.

All is correct, seems like the majority of us are honest or do not have to protect our identity.

a message from JAWS
by BlackSwan of Memphis inok, like the thread suggests... i was watching jaws and got a message out of it.. i have a really weird habit of looking for messages in movies.
dunno know why, i just do.. well, since this is no recent movie (it came out in 75) i guess i wouldn't be spoiling it to say that when this monster great white attacked and killed a little boy, the mother of said boy comes up to the chief and smacks him.
she was trying to comprehend how the chief of police could knowingly allow people to swim in monster shark infested waters.
