Well I promised myself I wasn't going to let my JW parents in on what the borganization is holding back from them but I did it today anyways... I couldn't stand one more minute of their "wonderful" religion and how terrific it all is so I said that I was watching the news (this forum is quite informative - could be called news :) ) and then told her the entire story about the UN and the JW's involvement with it.... But of course she can't believe that and if it is true there must be a reason for it. I said I couldn't think of any reason to be part of the "disgusting thing"....That was completely true I didn't tell her that the disgusting thing was the WTBTS not the UN..

So anyways long and short of it is that she is going to have to wait and see if it is tru. She is certain the Watchtower will explain why very soon and if not it doesn't matter she knows that she is in the right organization. I was just so thankful after talking to her that I can see the society for what it really is. I hope that God will give them that vision soon enough as well but if not I am closer to God now then I ever was.

It would be nice if the JW's could see that it is more important to be serving God then that ****ing organization..

thanks for letting me vent

I have several relatives who are also JW's. I got to have my say with my mom once. But every thing I said to her was the same as bouncing a rubber ball of a brick wall. They remind me of as the bible says "a lamb being led to slaughter." I honestly think that the the WTBTS told them to jump off of a building they would do it, or even worse.

javagirl,

You might go ahead and tell your mother that the reason they are going to give is that they were just getting a UN library card, but that doesn't make sense because they could get the same information from the NYC public libraries.

They than get a UN library card, but a Witness can't join the YMCA to go for a swim. What is wrong with this picture?

the woman who I orgianlly study with told me if the Watchtower organiztion told her to kill someone if " Jehovah though his Organization" told them in a holy war, she would. That scared me half to death.

On Randy's site he has a place, I don't remember where it is. "Letting go of JW relatives." As hard as it is when it's a parent, imagine how hard it is when it's your own child. But it can be done.

If you absolutely can't let go, here's a suggestion:

I told my son not too long ago that I attended the trial of Miguel (??) Beliz, and that I plan on attending some more of those. Talk all you want about doctrine doctrine doctrine and its useless....then throw a Laree Slack or a brothers Stovall at them, and WALK AWAY...that will make them think. The Society is really good at depersonalizing and mechanizing human beings. If you want to make some headway with hardcore JW's, put the HUMAN faces back on HUMAN beings. It really works!!!!

Best wishes...

BITE ME, WATCHTOWER!!!
