I don't have any warts but I do have a scar on my hand from a sex related accident.

new public edition of the WT
by loosie inok i have about 4 friends who don't know that i am out of the org.
because there is 3000 miles between us and the subject has not come up.. well one of them has emailed me a jpg copy of each page of the public edition of the wt.. i was feeling a little ornery, and i replied back.
i said wow having a private copy and then a public copy of the wt makes me feel like a secret agent.

Isn't the Bible's "meat" availible to the public?
It reminds me of what the Catholics did by locking the Bible up and not letting the common folk get to it.

As the 144,000 die, they go to heaven. All who died before 1914 were resurrected at 1914.

I suggest coercing your wife into giving her oral sex. Then go to the elders and say you can't in good conscience be an elder considering you have a weakness for her girly bits.

Bible Study Arrangement at Hall
by KW13 inremember how the bible study was conducted at the hall?
they had bible highlights then focused on a particular chapter.
was this done in such a way so as to take attention away from scriptures that could bring up red-flags in the minds of jw's, letting the dodgy bits be skipped over?.

In church, they comb though every verse and discuss every word. That was never done at the hall.

Could an EX-JW Dating Site work?
by Bourne inhey!
since the "in" and "active" jw's have their dating websites, what about us?
at the moment, i see myself, at a future date, feeling most comfortable with someone with a similar background, someone who understood the issues left over from the experience of being a jw.

Personally, I think finding someone just like yourself isn't always such a good thing. I enjoy my husband not understanding it all because he helps me move past the past. He makes up for a lot of my weaknesses.

Don't the following comments contradict each other?
Whatever decision they make, I hope it is an informed one.
I'm not going to teach them about other faiths.
NO... I can encourage them to learn but by educating them myself about these subjects, I will be giving them a biased view. I'll simply teach them my own and then let them discover other beliefs with their own experiences/reading.
Why is it so hard for you to understand that I want them to go to a church that is educating them vs. going to a church that is just inspiring them every Sunday?
Just as I can't force them to be "Presbyterian", I can't force them to study other religions either. I can simply accept them for whatever they want to be. I can only hope that I have children who are interested in asking the hard questions in life.

What will your reaction be if they don't believe, and they want out?
The same as it is with my mother. My mother (at this point) doesn't want to be a Christian but has left the JWs.
I love her so very much. I call her every day and hold her dear to my heart. Just because she doesn't see things the same way I do, doesn't make me reject her. I hope one day she will have a relationship with God but I can't live her life for her. I have to rest and leave the matter between her and God. It's my job just to love her.
I plan to have the same attitude when my kids get older. I will certainly take them to church when they are little ones but when they get old enough to make their own decisions, I'll certainly allow it. Ultimately, I can't force them to do anything. What I don't want is for them to grow up not knowing enough about the Bible so they can't be taken in by religions such as Mormons and JWs out of pure ignorance. Whatever decision they make, I hope it is an informed one.
I'm not going to teach them about other faiths. I wouldn't forbid thier investigating at ALL -- But I learned about other faiths without my parents teaching me so it can be done. If they want to know, they can go visit other churches or at home if they wish to investigate via the internet or books. They way I see it, a faith is much stronger if tested.

When DA'd of DF'd ones give advice to DA...
by changeling inespecially if they are the militant, bitter type...are they wanting you to undergo the hardships they've been through?.
are they secretly jealous of those who have faded and have kept their family together?.
does misery want company?.

I admit -- I skipped the long posts because I wanted to add my 2 cents.
Especially if they are the militant, bitter type...Are they wanting you to undergo the hardships they've been through?
Actually, I'm so flipping happy right now that I want others to have the same thing. That's why I suggest DA. So they can let go once and for all and have that freedom.

The point of wanting them raised in a church that focuses on education is so that they can learn to make up their own minds. What I don't want is for them to go to the Baptist church I've been going to where their life time members sound like they are in a bubble and oblivious to the outside world. I want them to learn critical thinking. I want to ask them why they believe stuff and not just do it because I do it. I know a young lady who says her mother "examined all the religions after reading the Bible and found the assembly of God church to be the true church" .. That's not reason enough!
I hate to see people suckered by institutions of any sort be they religious, political, commercial, military or anything else. I hate falsehood. I hate lies. I hate delusion. I hate false promises and easy answers.
Excuse me ... who is suckered? What harm is being done by me going to church? What lies am I being suckered into? What false promises or easy answers am I getting from this "religion"???
Maybe you are the one suckered.
