i have tried both safari and chrome and both use the iphone optimized site, with no obvious way to fall back to the full site.. .

My observation, the "threefold cord" actually weakens a marriage
by Robert7 inso my wife and i survived leaving the jw faith together over the course of the last 4 years.
it was a wild ride for our relationship, but thankfully we are stronger than ever.
so looking back, here is my observation about the "threefold cord", at least the jw version of it.. i believe the idea of the threefold cord actually weakens a marriage, keeping it less mature.

Stop fighting about Oompa.
by Robert7 ini am writing this because i am so upset about the bickering and fighting that is going on about oompa.
this was an amazing wonderful, peaceful, giving man who never met a strager who is now deceased and you are taking his name and running all over the place with it using it for your own agendas.
he is not a statistic.

Found another NWT lie! Romans 6:23 - Wages sin pays is death
by Robert7 inso i was speaking to a pastor friend of mine while i was explaining why i have a hard time beleiving how a loving god could send any of his creation to an eternal hell, and i brought up romans 6:23, which says in the nwt "the wages sin pays is death", and mentioned now when we die, our death covers our sins, according to jws.. he said, no, romans 6:23 says "the wages of sin is death".
very different meaning!
the jw translation means when you die, you sins are washed clean.

How much are the financial crises played up at meetings nowadays?
by Robert7 ini haven't been to a meeting in years... and with the us and european financial crises in play, i would imagine the jws would be all over this as the sign that "we're so close to the end"... that this system is ready to collapse.. for those of you going to meetings, is there much talk abou it... what about amongst people in conversation?
what are they saying?.

Another case of JW shunning - these people have no respect!
by Robert7 inas a quick background, only my mother and my mil are jw's.
my wife and i are inactive, but not df'd or da'd.
my mil (who has been great to us and treats us normally) has recently told me that "jws don't shun".

JW MIL having surgery - Elders there are the "blood nazis"
by Robert7 inso my jw mother-in-law is having some rather major abdominal surgery today.
given the type of surgery, there is a chance that the blood issue may come up, where in worst case if there's a loss of blood she may need a transfusion.. so in the waiting room for the entire 3 1/2 hour surgery are two elders.
these guys don't know my mil that well, and they are not there to support her... when it comes down to it:.
