Are you a different person now from when you were a JW?
by NaruNaruChan ini got an e-mail today from an old high school friend who, after we met for coffee, said "wow, you're normal again!
i mean, you were boring, stuffy, and generally not much fun when you became a jw.
now you're back to the old so-and-so that i remember, i love it!

When a JW Comes to My Door?
by JamesThomas ina resent thread has got me thinking.
the question is: when a jw comes to my door what reaction of mine would have the best chance of motivating that person to ponder or question their beliefs?
what will help them open, rather than shut down and fortify their shell of exclusivity?

Please help me save my marriage - URGENT
by happyout ini am fighting to save my marriage, and the person i seem to be fighting against is my husband.
a little background, we had a rough time dating, because he had a hard time being faithful.
i caught him cheating three times, and left him, but he kept asking for forgiveness, promising to change, and i bought into it.

tKingdom Melodies I remember/liked.
by ScoobySnax inok bucking the trend here, but there was some kms i liked, alot of stick has been given to "gods loyal love"....well i liked that one.
nice melody.. i think song 4 "gods promise of a paradise" too.
and song number 15 "life without end at last".....remember this was in the brown book....still like that one, especially at conventions, always guaranteed to be on the sunday programme, still get teary eyed at that one.. what i want to know is what happened to "keep your eyes on the prize"....i can remember writing those words out on a sheet and hanging it in my room, surely the classic jw kingdom melody of all time...guaranteed at conventions circa 70's/80/s......still miss it, and hum it even now occasionaly.

Old literature?
by asleif_dufansdottir inwe're moving, and have a couple of boxes of literature from the late 80's and early 90's in the basement.
i hate to just throw away books (even jw books), but i'm certainly not going to send it somewhere where it might mislead more people.
(giving to somebody to store them until the society changes its tune enough for them to be useful?

even if everybody calls themselves brothers and sisers in the congregation, were there some in your congregation that you just couldn't stand?.
