JWs react with joy when something bad has happen to inactive or DF'd ones
by Anator ini've noticed when i was an active dub that some jws act joyful whenever they hear that an inactive jw or a df'd person had something bad happen to them.
some have a glee-ful smile and they give that *look* that says, "we told you so".
have you ever experienced what i'm referring to?

If something bad happens to a df'd person, it reinforces the idea of Jehovah blesses his organization, we are living in a spiritual paradise, sort of stuff that we all gag at now.

Why don't JWs do much in the way of charity work?
by ilikecheese inso i argue with the boyfriend a lot about the fact that i think charitable work is every bit as important as preaching when it comes to serving god.
every church i've ever gone to has some sort of community outreach, if not several outreaches, that have little or nothing to do with preaching.
and i made the point that if these people know you're affiliated with a church, they'll think a little more kindly about christians, too, which would help in the whole witnessing arena.

Because all worldly institutions will be gone at armegeddon, including charities.
The poor will always be with you. So preach to them instead.

You said she woke up crying, she then confessed to you. That seems like she is genuinely remorseful. Maybe she just wants to know she is still sexy to other men, it may have been a way to reinforce her worth in some twisted way.
Maybe she is like a child, and by telling you she was going out with girlfriends, she was hoping you would say 'No', an effort to know what the boundries are in your relationship.
Do you still love her? Does she still love you? Counseling can help.
Sometimes people just act stupidly, then realize how dumb they were and how they jeopardized what is important in their life, and are truly remorseful.
I hope that whatever you do, you can find peace of mind.
Best regards!

In the 1940's, some gnostic scrolls were found in Egypt. They are dated from around A.D. 350-400. Irenaeus, the orthodox Bishop of Lyons, refers to other gospels written by heretics. Irenaeus wrote his work around A.D. 180. He could not have refered to 'other' gospels if there were no original gospels existing at that time.
Check out: gnosis.org for more info. It is very interesting.

Weird JW Dreams
by MrFreeze ini think it's a given that most of us who have left, have had dreams about still being jw's or doing jw related things, even years after we left.
i had one of those last night.
it involved getting a hotel for the next district convention and then it skipped ahead to when i was attending.

Why not, you could have traveling Surfing-seers, a new beach every week! Everyone could have their special Saturday morning swimming suits, no ties or pantyhose. Instead of coffee breaks, you could have barbeque breaks

Why did/does there appear to be an unusually high number of "Germanic" names in the Governoring Body compared to others?
by StoneWall intoday as i was researching past and present members of the governoring body of j.w.
's something stood out to me that seemed out of proportion towards other name origins.. the vast majority appeared to be from the germanic peoples.
either they were originally from germany themself or their parents immigrated from germany.. here are some of the ones i researched and you should be able to spot just from their names a hint of their origins:.

ekruks-Maybe you should write it down and market it, like a modern day Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. You could say you found it under a maple tree in Minnesota. Just think you could start your own religion, complete with making those women you dream about doing whatever you want through mind-control techniques. Lots of people could throw money at your feet and build you a house on the beach somewhere. The house could be called Beth-Surfers, built to await the resurrection of the next great wave....
