What Do You Guys Think?
by jamiebowers ini've been df'd for 21 years, and other than the heartbreak of my mom shunning me and the sad stories i read here, i never thought the dirty rat bastard wb&ts could otherwise effect my life.
well, i was wrong!
my dear stepdaughter recently learned that her children's paternal grandfather has parents and siblings who are jws, some of whom were at my stepdaughter's baby shower this past saturday.

What Has Hurt You Most About Being A Witness?
by minimus infor me, it's not having a "normal" childhood.
being raised a jw will make you miss out on ordainary kid things.
you can't have any friends except witnesses---and only jws that measure up.

How do you replace a family?
by YoursChelbie inas a result of wanting to have a normal life, away from the dogma of the jw religion,.
many have lost contact with parents, children and in many cases, their spouse.. my divorce was uncontested and i was fortunate enough to get out of from watchtower control with my children.
my parents were never involved with the religion,.

I think I understand... I am being shunned...
by Almost_Did_It ini think i finally realize whats been happening... as i said earlier, i almost took the plunge knee-deep into becoming a jw... i had many confrontations with my wife and others in my family, but i still continued to push forward.... .
itd been almost 2 years since i first was indoctrinated and 1.5 years since i have been studying... i studied with a friend who was also a co-worker.
we studied before or after work because it was convenient for us both.. .

What UNUSUAL MARRIAGES have you seen among JW's?
by BonaFide inthese are couples that i know personally.. a brother i know married a sister 36 years older than him.
he was 35, she was 71. they are still married 5 years later.
they do not get along, and they make that known to the entire hall.. a brother that has been married twice and is 50 years old recently married a 19-year old.

The View talks about JWs and Armageddon
by Lady Lee inwhoopie specifically asked sherry about jws and their prediction of the end of the world.
she said that the jws were having public meetings to tell people how to survive the end.. sherry answered that the predictions came from the bible and that the jws predicted the end in 1975 and they were still waiting.. the others chimed in with a lot of jokes so not much more was said but i was glad sherry got to say something and that the end was predicted in 1975..

You know what I really miss?
by journey-on inthis sounds silly.
but what i miss about being a part of a close knit congregation is the showers.
i loved going to the bridal showers, baby showers, wedding showers.
