Sitting poolside and guilt-free.
by Open mind init was a couple years ago that my wife awakened to the true nature of jwism.
today is our first overnighter (sans kids).
at home this morning we called in to the k hall, listened to about 2 minutes of the public talk, had a couple good laughs and continued with a leisurely brunch.

The ties that keep you in chains
by dgp ini am under the impression that one of the worst aspects of life as a jehovah's witness is that every new family and friendship tie you make might become a chain if you ever want out.. i was never a jw and therefore don't have the mindset, but, being who i am, i find that i would not want to create any ties with the witness community.
but it would feel to me that every new friend i made, and every relative, would come at the price of their eventually becoming your worst enemies.. let's use marriage as an example.
i would want a woman by my side, to share my life; but then i would also feel that i would need to find her among the witnesses only; my relationship with her would need to be approved by others; i would not be free to actually get to meet her before we married; once we married, she'd be someone who would know me intimately and could turn me in to the elders; and, if, unfortunately, my relationship didn't work, i would need to sleep with someone else and be disfellowshipped in order to be able to divorce her.
