Next FDS Stunt?
by sweet pea inshopoholic is of the opinion that friday's dc talk about obeying/following the faithful and (not so) discreet slave no matter what, is indicative of some dramatic stunt the fds are about to pull.
.
any suggestions as to what this might be?

Thank you all
by sweet pea inwell, i'm sitting here on what should be a meeting night (how wonderful is freedom?
) with a stiff drink.
it's been a hell of a crappy couple of weeks and many tears have been shed but i'm feeling at peace tonight (even though brother in law yesterday informed us they only want emergency contact with us from now on - can you believe they want nothing to do with our two beautiful little ones, their nephews?!

Why don't Lurkers Post?
by sweet pea inwhen i came to the realisation that my whole religious upbringing was in question and i was led to this site, i immediately wanted to get involved - i could see that there was a lot of caring, spiritual people here that had created an amazing community and i wanted to be a part of that community (to release some pent up feelings and to maybe help others in some way) but having read that many of you guys lurked for months and in some cases years before you finally posted - i'm intrigued as to why?????
was it selfishness - couldn't bring yourself to commit and be a part of the community, you were just content to observe?
was it laziness?

Update - advice please?
by sweet pea inso, it has come to my attention that my jw girlfriends have been gossiping in that great inimitable jw way - they seem to believe that i am attending an alpha course and going to a new church (as if?).
obviously one of my parents has spilled some baked beans and been indiscreet (just like that old faithful and not so discreet, slave....).
not sure what will happen next but wondering where i stand with regards to any elders that were to get wind of this?

Putting off having kids?
by sweet pea init seems to me there may be some of you out there who have not had kids due to the situation where you are not of the same mind as your partner in wanting to bring them up as witnesses.
thinking back to besty and i before we had the two boys, i remember being of two minds - do i?
i was concerned that besty wasn't a spiritual head and he had even categorically stated that if we did have kids they wouldn't end up being witnesses.

Holy Spirit Day
by sweet pea ini'm off to the alpha holy spirit day tomorrow and was thinking about what as a witness i believed about the holy spirit and my mind has gone blank - i can't ever remember talking that much about it or looking up any scriptures on it - what did you feel about the hs when you were a witness and what do you think of it now?

Questions For Non-JWs
by sweet pea init just struck me that a lot of what we post comes under "you couldn't make it up"!
so my questions to those of you that aren't jw's or partnered with one - why do you continue to come here, does it entertain/surprise/inform you?
if you knew no jehovah's witnesses would you still be interested?

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).
