Thank you JWD
by mavie ini wanted to take my 1,000th post here at jwd to thank simon for managing this forum for the past several years.
it helped me greatly during my exit, beginning about 3 years ago.
without a place like this to vent, collaborate, and question, i may have never been swayed to leave the jw's.

CRINGE.....Neighbors assumed we were all JW's.
by restrangled injust ran into a neighbor across the street who was one of the few for obama in this neighborhood.
we got to talking about it and he says "i thought your family were jehovahs witnesses!
" turns out my kids told him that almost 15 years ago after their grand parents moved here.....i'm still cringing but glad i got that straightened out!

Another reason I like Obama
by looking_glass inso you know how everyone is chatting up that obama promised the girls a puppy.
well during his press conference the other day he said he wants to rescue a dog.
i know one of his girls is allergic to pet dander, so they need a hypoallergenic dog .. but the fact that he wants to adopt a dog to me indicates that he is a man of the people.

Sexless marriages
by Mickey mouse ini've heard of a fair few sexless marriages in the borg, probably something to do with the fact that if you're raised "in" you'll have a pretty skewed view of sex by the time you finally get to do it.
so if someone is trapped in a sexless marriage, from a jw standpoint they could get an unscriptural divorce...but...that doesn't leave them free to remarry??!
seems pretty sadistic really.

"for almost 9000 patients who had heart surgery in the [united kingdom] between 1996 and 2003, receiving a red cell transfusion was associated with three times the risk of dying in the following year and an almost sixfold risk of dying within 30 days of surgery compared with not receiving one.
" - new scientist, britain.. for starters, this quote is not exactly straight from new scientist.
