Why do you come to this site?
by sinis in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
after all the years i have been here, i have slowly progressed to the point that the bible, god, and all the other religious stuff out there is just plain bullshit!!!

yet when i first came here and was told by some of the members that that is what i would logically come to, i did not believe them, and yet they were right.

i realize that a lot of people on this board have left, or are struggling with themselves or family to leave, yet many still believe.

fruit of the loom
by John Doe in

2. friends
i remember as a child, before i knew what a "loom" was, i thought it must have been a groin, and therefore the fruit of the loom was dangly bits.

after all, that's what fruit of the looms protects, right?

what misconceptions did you have as a child?.

My Boyfriend's not a Witness...
by Hikaru in
1. social
2. relationships
alright, with my last post it should be obvious i'm in conflict...if it's not, then yeah.. my boyfriend is not a witness.

he understands that witnesses can't marry or date non witnesses.

but i guess could say we've been stalling...looking for a solution a gray area to that black and white situation...but with time getting as it is...stalling doesn't work anymore.

Ouija Board Hysteria
by Megachusen in
1. jw
2. friends
i always wondered why jw's were always so afraid of ouija(pronounced as "wee-yaw" not "wee-gee") boards.

does anyone have any speculation about who started these jw myths?.

anyone who has actually tried the board and would like to give their opinions are welcome.

this is my first post on this forum after months of reading and lurking on here.

i'm glad to be able to say that my husband and i finally sent our letter saying we want out and are wait to hear back for a potential jc meeting--that we won't be attending.. we had so many doubts it was impossible for us to continue living the lie.

Halloween- When you were a JW did you answer the door?
by IWillBeDubbedNoMore in
1. jw
2. friends
i am watching the movie "the perfect world", and they have a scene of a jw family eating dinner and then the doorbell rings and the mother answers the door with her kids following behind.

she opens the door and there are several costumed children saying "trick of treat".

the jw mother says that they don't participate in such activities.

if there are any civil war buffs here i highly recommend "southern storm, shermans march to the sea" noah trudeau.

compiled from letters, diaries, newspapers, weather reports,etc.

to give a detailed, day by day account of the historical military episode.. only a couple hundred pages into it but it is like being there.

Huge development concerning Watchtower.org and "apostate" comments.
by DT in
1. jw
2. friends
wouldn't you love to comment on the watchtower.org site so that other visitors can see what you think about their doctrinal flip flops, false prophecies and dangerous medical practices?.

it's no surprise that watchtower.org doesn't allow comments.

they know that "apostates" would point out the embarrassing details about their religion and history.
