Marriage, JW's seem to change, don't they ???
by run dont walk inone thing that used to really bug me alot when i was a jw,.
we all had our circle of friends in jw land, now when some got a girlfriend you would see them less, that's natural, if they break-up you would see them more, okay, but why was it when after they got married, it was like they never knew you, then they would only talk to and hang out with other jw couples that were married.
it is almost like you got df'd from some friends because you were not married.. anyone experience this ??

what is the # 1 reason people join the JW's ??? what attracts people ???
by run dont walk inbeing brought up in the borg, i always envied my friends that did not have to go in service, go to meetings, and waste their weekends away, i have never really been able to understand why someone would join the jw's unless they were born (forced) into it.
aside from maybe coming from an abusive lifestyle or relationship, or had serious drug/alcohol problems, this i could understand how the religion helped them get back on track.
so why do people join ???

Did you ever work for a JW, while still in the borg ??? how was the pay ???
by run dont walk inmy nephew has been working for a jw, for about three years, part-time of course, has to do more service, pays him next to nothing, good training and learning experience though, but three years, and paying $7.00 an hour for maybe 20 hours a week, while the employer has a new car, and just bought a bigger house ???
yep, go figure ......................, that's the kind of person i want to work for, and the sad thing is, if he was to quit tomorrow, there are 20 little jw dubs ready to vulture into the job.
unreal !!!.

Should JW's hold government jobs ???
by run dont walk ini finally made it onto the new board, took awhile but i'm back, .
interesting question came up, if jw's do not support any government, do not honor government beliefs, do not stand for the flag, do not celebrate countries holidays, should a jw have a government job, regardless of what it is ???.
isn't working for them, still supporting them in a small way ???.

Do family/relatives still hound you about going back? what do they/you say?
by run dont walk inno lie 10 years after i left, my family still thinks i'm coming back one day, get a grip, the last conversation i had, i kinda lost it a bit with my mom, and more or less said why would i go back, when russell/rutherford made everything up as they went along.
well that was a conversation stopper, and my brother/sister called alittle while back, i mentioned the un thing, child abuse scandals, and a few other things, i am not kidding, they pretended that they new nothing and that these things probaly never happened, just the media making up stories, how do you reason with that ???
i said :" well don't take their word for it, investigate yourself so you know, and read the entire watchtower history 1879-2003, read it yourself, if you are not willing to then shut up !
