Going to Hell in a Handbag.......rant!!
by Gill inso why do we always give in to 'the lowest common denominator?'.
the board is closing because simon has (fair enough) had enough of abuse.. we see this every where.
we always allow the not necessaily bad but those who can't act and behave in a civil manner win!.

What is the JW view on working for the defense dept?
by insearchoftruth inmy wife is very used to the relatively comfortable lifestyle we presently have, so how would a question like this go over:.
"i understand that the jws are very opposed to the military and military service....since i presently work for the department of defense, how is my employment viewed by god (or would i need to change jobs to become a jw?)?.
any thoughts?

Just had jw elder at door and he wouldn't leave when i asked him to! lol
by dobbie ini am so laughing my head off and want to thank jwd for giving me the strength to leave the jws and for standing up to them (i am a quiet mouse usually!).
the jws next door had the field service meeting and i told hubby(inactive ) that they'd gone so he could cut the grass, but i was wrong and as soon as he went out they all piled out of the house lol!they tried to say hello but he shunned them as he hates the way they ignore me (d'ad) esp his family.
then while he was talking to our other neighbour i saw his step father (who is a big bully and called me a murderer when i said i wasnt sure if i wanted to be a jw anymoreand my kids would be killed because of me which really hurt me) so he arranged to work our road i know just so he can get hold of hubby.. anyway hubby was hiding in the house and tried to make me see them (again) but i made him do it, hoping he'd just tell them hes not interested.

Why would you want to serve Jehovah?
by Anti-Christ infor all of you you believe in the watchtower doctrine i have a few honest and important (in my opinion) question you should ask yourselves.. why serve a god like jehovah?
you may find that question to be out of your comfort zone but i think it's important to examine the wt vision of the god you accept as real.
what does jehovah expects from you?

No further education - is the policy backfiring?
by eyeslice init seems to me that there was a softening of the no further education edict for a little while.
but just lately the 'dangers' of pursuing further education and worldly careers has been made a real issue again.
it seems to me though that this has as much danger of driving the very ones they would like to keep, the talented, the bright, the high achievers, out of the organization.

How long did you stay active after having major doubts?
by jambon1 infor me, i had doubts from the beginning.
however, my 1st major doubt came as i had it confirmed that other people felt like i did about certain big issues within the org.
there were many, i realised, that just knew things were not right.
