One cute canadian sister
by thomyorke ini like her videos about self-injury and other mental and physical problems, that could happened to young people.... she say that she is an active jw and regularly visit the meetings and go to service.. http://www.youtube.com/user/idranktheseawater.
but... what can you say about her wearing and hair style?.
it's cool, but it's "non-spiritual" style, not for "true" jw, isn't it ?!

by Nosferatu inmy 20 year old niece and my mom are the only jw relatives i have.
her mom got kicked out for smoking and my brother ended the marriage because she was a bitch anyway.. but it's really unfortunate that my niece had to be dragged into the jws.

My 20 year old niece and my mom are the only JW relatives I have. Her mom got kicked out for smoking and my brother ended the marriage because she was a bitch anyway.
But it's really unfortunate that my niece had to be dragged into the JWs. I really wish my brother would have put the brakes on it more. Now I'm butting heads with her. This facebook post royally pissed me off. If I would have been able to date more during my younger years, I probably would have been smarter than to marry the woman who is now my stupid ex-wife.
Anyway, here's the post...
I've often been presented with either the question or the comment of me not being in a boyfriend girlfriend relationship. I'm sure it's nice and all but really for me I for 1 am to young. 2 I'm not ready. And 3, just because other people have relationships does not me I have to be in one haha I have very happy on my own thank you many studies have proven that it's actually much easier on your own. I could go on and on but dating is really looking for a marriage mate and that is a HUGE decision in your life, but there is no law to have to be married or be in that kind of relationship. How could I find that special someone to spend the rest of my life with when I haven't even fully figured out who I am yet?? Who knows maybe one day he will come along and sweep me off my feet. But I already have so many friends and family who love me and I love them we might feel alone sometimes but we really never are. There is so much more in life than just worrying about a relationship. Explore new things, go on adventures, the possibilities are endless for those who are married, I admire your devotion to have such a bond with each other and have that soul mate to be a part of your life as one. Keep smiling

Oh, and the reason the post count drops is if I remove any topic you started on or replied to. Nothing 'suspicious'
Oh, you mean like when the WTS removes or alters stuff in their old publications. Got it! ;)

Your views and ideas on forum areas and organization?
by Simon inthis may come as a shock to some people, but the current forum structure was kind of thrown together without much real thought and then evolved a bit over time.
there are a few things that particularly grate on me and areas where i don't think the subjects work particularly well.
'friends' is a bit vague and becomes a dumping ground, news & world events vs politics & current affairs is hard to decide sometimes, child abuse is a scandal but isn't contained withing 'scandals & coverups' etc.... with a new forum platform imminent, it's a good time to solicit ideas to improve things.

Is there still a "best of" section? I vote that there be a section where incredibly interesting and/or noteworthy topics be moved.

My mother passed away this morning...
by Tatiana infor any old-school ex-jws here that remember my many posts about my abusive jw mother and my sister committing suicide because of it...she passed away this morning because she began to bleed out and refused a transfusion.
she had been in the hospital for a month.
it appears she suffered a stroke and wasn't found by the brothers & sisters for three days (they missed her at the meetings).

I certainly remember you...
I have yet to experience the confusing feelings of having a JW parent passing away. I can only imagine what it's like. Hope you're holding up okay.

The last time was Christmas day.
I was going through the bulk of my divorce, I didn't have any money to buy presents for my kid, my girlfriend of over 1 year (whom I was very much in love with) ended our relationship one week prior, my furnace had broken down the day before, I had been in a vehicle accident two weeks prior, and to top it all off, a Christmas dinner which I was very much looking forward to was canceled.
I put a war movie on and bawled my eyes out for two hours. It was well deserved.

I have found a girlfriend, but there is something I've been hiding from her
by ronweasley inall is well and good in my life right now :) with one small catch... i have a secret that i have hidden from my girlfriend.. for the first time since coming out of the borg, i have found romance.
i was lucky to meet a girl called romilda (name has been changed), and we get on like a house in fire.
we have been in a relationship for a few days now, but some of my friends have pointed out that i should be honest with her and be straight about my sexuallity.

Someone told me a general rule about fetishes that I think would apply in this situation. If you're comfortable enough to fart around her, then you're comfortable enough to tell her your deepest sexual thoughs.
Congrats on finding a woman! Feels great after absinance :)

My niece is on FB. She's a very creative and lovely person, but she's the only other family member I have who's a JW. Her mother got booted out for smoking, and her brother just seems to know it's a bunch of crap.
On FB, I posted a funny status update that went something like this: "My mother brought me up and hoped that I would grow into a career that would fulfill her dreams. Unfortunately, I didn't become a Watchtower magazine salesman. "
Hey, I thought it was funny! Unfortunately, she didn't and sent me the following message:
hey uncle ben, hows things going? i love ya and miss ya lots but ive been noticing some of your status', dont get me wrong everyone is entitled to there own opinion. but i would like to let you know that witnesses do not sell there literature, and we were made to have free will and choose the way in which we want to lead our lives. you can choose to do or say whatever you want its up to you. i choose to follow principals that help benefit me along with the other over 7 million witnesses in the world and ive been doing pretty good. i am trying to be polite in stating my opinion in saying that when i see your posts of little jokes about the witnesses, your also making jokes about me. now i know i can just pass by those posts and keep scrolling and ignore it but i just wanted to let you know it kinda hurts my feelings in some of the things you say. but anyways i dont mean to bother you, say hi to little Theo for me and i hope to see you both soon
Here was my response:
I know that they currently don't sell their literature, but when I was growing up in it, they did. Along with that, I was raised to believe that Armageddon was going to come before those who saw the events of 1914 pass away. I grew up believing this "truth" throughout most of my life. They ended up changing that "truth" when you were 3 years old, so you're not going to remember it.
As for making jokes about my experience as a JW, it's a great way to take being raised as one with a grain of salt. When I was regularly attending meetings, I was marked as "bad association" (why is beyond me) and all the parents in the congregation essentially told their kids to stay away from me. So I couldn't have any friends in The World because they were bad association, and I couldn't have any friends in the congregation because I was bad association. Pretty much nobody would talk to me at the Kingdom Hall. Then when I missed a meeting, everyone would tell me that they "missed me" at the last meeting. How could anybody miss me when they didn't bother associating with me?
Not everyone was bad in the congregation. The ones who actually seemed to be genuine loving and caring people were marked as "weak in the truth" because they didn't make every meeting. Whenever I run into those people in public these days, they still enjoy talking to me. Whenever I run into those who never bothered to associate with me, they either ignore me to tell me to go back to the meetings. The last time I attended a Kingdom Hall was for a funeral in the year 2000 for someone who was "weak in the truth". The others who were "weak in the truth" enjoyed talking to me while those who were "strong in the truth" either completely ignored me or told me that I needed to come back to the meetings.
In short, I did not see any real genuine love in the organization and the ones who actually did show it or had the potential to show it were called out by the Watchtower articles as questionable people. I got tired of letting "The Truth" make me feel like an unworthy person after I quit going to the meetings, so I prefer to look upon the whole experience the same way the average non-witness sees it - a bizarre, strange and perhaps a funny way of living life. The only difference between me and someone who has never been a JW is I know how it works on the inside because I've been there.
You can either view my humorous take on it as an attack on you, or you can take it as me making light of a bad experience from my past. That part is entirely up to you. -
