Do mixed marriages work? What about kids?
by greenie ini'm new and have posted something along these lines recently on another thread, but i'm wondering, do marriages between non-jws and jws work?

Your views of the headship
by greenie ini've heard a little about this business, but i'm curious as to what you all think about it.
jw and exjw women - do you/did you believe it and abide by it?
jw and exjw men - do you still believe it?

What made you think?
by greenie ini know this topic has been covered, so feel free to ignore me or point me to another post for your response, but i'm just curious: what made you first think the jws didn't have it all?
what it a slow process or like a lightening strike?.
for me, a non-jw, it was like a lightening strike when i started reading about the blood issue..

Other Religions Compatible to JWs
by greenie injust wondering, are there any religions that exist that might be palatable to dubs?
i realize all of their teaching goes against this, but i'm wondering from an outside or neutral view, can you think of any that would work for someone who was/is a jw?
southern baptist?

Deep thoughts: conditional love
by greenie inso, i know people talk a lot on here about how love is conditional for jws (ex.
as soon as you're not one, you've often lost jw family and friends).
in my own situation, many of you have counseled me to get out of my relationship (for those that don't know, i'm not a jw, my partner is).

Sad today
by greenie infirst, it feels so weird typing all this to strangers, but here goes anyway.. i suppose my jw had an epiphany recently because we had some really deep talks this weekend.
he was very kind and calm about everything, but he basically said he's afraid i won't be happy in our life together because of his jw lifestyle.
he says he knows a life with him isn't the one i pictured for myself and that he doesn't feel able to make the kind of compromises i would want or need to be happy.

Who officiates JW weddings?
by greenie inif two jws were in great standing and getting married in a kingdom hall, who would officiate their wedding?
could an elder do the whole thing, or would a justice of the peace have to do part with the talk from the elder?.

by greenie indoes anyone want to tackle the hypocrisy in this article?
here's the link and the text is below.
also, can any former dubs explain how a jw could read or write this and not see how it applies to themselves?
