JW Rules That Are Just "Too Much"!
by Ephanyminitas ini'm curious: what rules have you dealt with that were just "too much" -- whether they were "official" (i.e.
in print) or not?.
i think a good, general one is r-rated movies.

Complete reversal: from Witness to atheist
by Ephanyminitas ini'm pretty new here (five minutes old!
) and i'm curious: how many have left the organization and, in time, become athiests.
i was raised in the organization, so growing up, my thinking was -- of course -- stifled.

Ex-Witness singles?
by Ephanyminitas inyou know, i'm somewhat shocked that there's no kind of singles area of the site.
how great would it be (for me, at least) to find a great ex-witness lady?
i guess no one is too worried about it though.

The desire to return just for family's sake
by Ephanyminitas inthose of you who have close witness family members -- how hard has it been not to just throw up your hands and just return to the society, just for appearance's sake?
my parents, whom i love very much, are witnesses, and it's very difficult for me to go day to day knowing that i'm completely letting them down.

i know how you feel about the witnesses, but i truly feel that they are god's chosen organization.
i don't really want to hear anything negative about the society, but out of respect for our friendship, i'll let you briefly mention one reason why i shouldn't.

Society's stance on neanderthals?
by Ephanyminitas inhere's a question: how many licks does it take to get to the center of a t--?.

there was a recent article in "u.s. news & world report" that mentioned them; and i realized, "hey!

Goodbye for now!
by Ephanyminitas inmy parents made it clear to me that while i'm under their roof, i can't have _any_ communication with apostates.
obviously, that would rule out this group; so until i move (hopefully in a couple of months or so), i must be on a forced hiatus!
thanks for your kindness during the past -- what?
