Why doesn't the majority win?
by JH ini'm sure that most of the jw's think that there are too many meetings a week.. i'm sure that most of the jw's find that the end is coming later than expected and don't dare talk about this openly.. i'm sure that most of the jw's don't believe everything they are taught.. i'm sure we could add more and more to this list.. so, why is it that the majority of jw's are being led by a very few, and afraid to stand up to them on any topic..

Devil and The Deep Blue Sea?
by sweet pea inhow do you view your friends who are still witnesses - do you look at them and wonder how you can get them out or do you think that many are best off staying where they are.
i find myself constantly wondering whether they would prefer to be where besty and i are now or whether they would be so traumatized by leaving when they have such a large family/network of jws that there is no point in even trying to help them to see the truth about "the truth".
some seem genuinely very happy to be a witness (even though its obvious that its all a struggle).

How did you feel when first posting on JWD?
by R.F. ini was in heavy doubt about the organization, but still in the back of my mind i was a bit hesitant of posting because it was the "unforgivable sin".
i think it took me 20 minutes to type my first post.
i still felt that once i submitted my post that a bolt of lightning was going to come down upon me, so my hands were shaking as i was typing.

Sharing a bed
by sass_my_frass inthis is ot (like half of the topics in 'friends'), and a bit personal, but i don't actually have that many friends that i can talk about this with, so here goes.... mr frass and i believe we're very happily married, and we're very affectionate.
trouble is, around midnight many nights, i'm finding that i can't get comfortable and sleep.
i need to turn around a lot, cuddle a spare pillow in *just* the right way etc.

New Stupid Assembly Rules
by WTWizard ini have heard on this discussion board numerous rules that apply to upcoming a$$emblies.
some are designed to stop people from meeting the opposite sex; others, to make sure everyone is always ready to recruit new members into the scam.
i heard that some km inserts have been urging those whose congregation has cleaning assignments to sit in the section that they are assigned to clean.
