Held my first "worldly" party last night
by Gypsy Sam ini used to have a lot of jw gatherings at my home and it's been the one thing i did miss since our fade.
although i had some nonjw contacts in my life, i always held them at arms length and never really invited them to my place.
well, i've opened up to this group over the last year about the issues with pedofiles within jw world, and the internal/external shunning policy.

I just can't believe how in the dark they are
by joe134cd inok the term i can best describe myself is a "neutral witness".
im neuteral in the sence that i know there are points that they are clearly wrong on, but just go along with it anyway because it the easier course of action.
i am fully a wear that things aren't the best, but like a bad marriage i just put up with it, do the best i can with the circumstances i find myself in, and hope things will improve, although they know deep down they won't.. anyway that aside.

JW's would rather have "wordly" people at their parties...
by nolongerconfused inso...i have been completely out for 6 months, never df'd, just completely faded...my wife is still 100% active...turns out one of her cousins who is also an active witness is having their birthday...ahem, graduation party this summer.
my wife told me she wouldn't feel "comfortable" if i attend their parties/gatherings because i don't go to the meetings lol.
so she and her cousin are planning the graduation party as i type, and they are talking about inviting their school friends etc etc.

What hell was unleashed last night?
by Blind_Of_Lies ini got up this morning and checked the ol' facebook and i found that it had really blown up overnight.
the remaining witness friends/family i have on there are all riled up and foaming at the status box of the wonderful blessings and other stupidity they have been bestowed.
while they all seem to be talking in code it appears (and confirmed by other threads) that they released a new version of the bible and possibly an app for ishit.. i have a few questions.... first... any idea why they are talking in code?
