Long Intro From A Long Timer

2. friends
i am a new to posting on this board though i have been actively reading your posts the past while and i thank some of you for the interesting viewpoints that you have verbalized and that i have enjoyed thinking on.

i am still an active jw, in fact an elder of 20 years standing hence my need to limit information about my personal circumstances.

i have served in a number of countries in europe as a pioneer and elder over the past three decades.

i'd like you all to tell me 2 or 3 things:.

1- were you raised a witness or not?.

2-if you were, was your family very "theocratic" or not so much?.

My theory about the behavior and obsession of some ex-JWs
by Simon in
1. jw
2. friends
i've had this theory for some time and alluded to it occassionally but have never explored it in detail.. it is of course a huge generalisation so no, not everyone will fit into the boxes and i'd like people's opinion.

i don't know everyone's circumstances so it's based on a small sample of some of those i do know something about.

it could be completely wrong, it's just an idea.. basically, i have seen a difference between some of those ex-jws who walked out vs those who were kicked out.. the most bitter and obsessive seem to be the kicked out and, i must add, those who were legitimately kicked out.

on another thread i asked: .

"f i do not renounce my atheism, repent and start believing in and worshipping the christian god, what will happen to me?".

i do not want your judgement or your opinion i want to know what your church/faith teaches on the subject or the fate of unbelievers.. no platitudes, please.

Would You date a black man or black woman?
by Save My Soul in
1. jw
2. friends
my sister-in-law is recently divorced and went to a witness online dating site.

she mentioned that many of the witnesses specified that they wanted a white or latino only.

of course there is nothing wrong with this (personal preference), but i found it interesting.

Own up time...
by Chalam in
1. jw
2. friends
well it looks like this site is a real melting pot, a broad spectrum of views and beliefs.

for sure there are many disaffected ex jws.

so in as few words as possible, preferably not more than one sentence, how would you describe yourself spiritually?

Healthcare reform has passed and is signed into law... this is a Big F*cking Deal!
by Elsewhere in

just ask our vice president joe biden.

once again, he has put his foot in his mouth by dropping the f-bomb when he shakes obama's hand.. granted... i'll take biden's "this is a big f*cking deal" over dick cheney's "go f*ck yourself" any day.
