do any of you parents and/or sons and daughters feel weird about sleeping in the same bed as your parent and/or son or daughter?
is there a certain age that this behavior becomes inappropriate?
i ask this because the c.o and his wife that are staying with us this week: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/9/107349/1.ashx brought along their 18 year old daugher.
Then again, Michael Jackson had young kids in his bed all the time, and no one thought that was weird.... oh, wait a minute.... never mind! lol, haha,
yes ofcourse,, Sharing a bed with someone is the most beautiful loving thing you can do for someone. M.J.
i know mine has.
i went back to my flat earlier this afternoon to pick some things up, i am moving out of there slowly, and was carrying a heavy box out to my car when i stumbled and dropped it on my foot.
it wasn't too painful, thankfully, but i came out with a stream of expletives, most of them beginning with f. when i was a jw, even thinking those words would have filled me with shame.
Hey! My family consists of Village Idiots! Well.. at least a few of them are. haha, no offense here, I tell my village idiot relatives when they are in full idiot mode.
anyone here interested in money and retirement from a job?.
why the rich get richer and the poor and middle class get poorer?
it is because the system which they use to make money in was designed to end them up poor and working a job to the day they die.. poor and middle class need to change their money making system or they will never be free from a job.
Why do I sense a Multi Level Marketing scheme about to be presented?

maybe the CO and his wife wanted to 'get busy'
On a serious note, when it comes to traveling with family, I'm not too picky, I prefer to have my own room or at least my own bed, however beggars can't be choosers
and since it's a temporary stay I'm never too picky about accommodations
is there a true religion?
is there a religion that really puts god first, that really cares about its followers, that really adheres to bible principles?
i have no hope anymore.
This goes against the grain of the atypical JW, but I think that there are good people among all religions.
I now believe that if there is a god, and a judgement day, we will all be judged on how we have lived our lives, not based on belonging to a book club, cult or religious affiliation.
So.. NO,, I don't believe in one true religion.

I Fing cursed when I was an Fing JW and I still Fing curse now that I'm an inactive Fing JW
hi, i just got registered and am looking forward to getting to know others who have escaped from the controlled environment that i was so faithful to for so long.
i hope to meet others with similar backgrounds.
i've been out about 4yrs and love the feel of it, but to be honest, as much as a definiate decision it was on my part, there was still a long time of adjustment.
Glad to have you here. You'll find it's a nice place to express yourself without being shunned.
i see that several of you use the term "apostate" or call themselves "apostates".
the problem i have with using the term is that you continue to follow wtbts thinking of "branding and labeling" people.
they charge that word with lots of negativity and label people that have different thoughts.
I think alot of us here use the term apostate in a 'tongue in cheek' sort of way. We're kind of 'thumbing our noses' at the society.
At least that's how I see it.
tijuana, mexico -- mexico has closed the famous cancer clinic mentioned the magazines several time.
my mom went down there this summer and she said everyone there was jws including a d.o.
and his wife it is amazing how many witnesses have been going down there from the area i live.
My Grandfather went there.
He's dead.
sigh... my parents want me to go to the elders 'cause my husband and i have seperated.
they are astonished that i haven't told them yet.
"what happened to you?
I doubt this would work for you, however in the case of my parents(mom is active, dad is not) I would listen to any personal advice they gave me and at the same time
I would let them know that the marital problem is between you and your husband and though any help from elders is appreciated it isn't necessary nor would it be
helpful. Like you already mentioned, I think at most, you could make a courtesy call to the local elder to inform of the situation. If the elder proceeds to offer advice,
merely thank him for his concern and let him know that it isn't necessary.
