  I don't feel 100% comfortable. However, I try to enjoy them and see the positive side of each holiday.

  JW indoctrination will forever live deep in my mind's hard drive.

  I only know that a hurricane named Wilma was coming for Southwest Florida and the fanatics JW elders still didn't canceled the meeting.

  Well, come to find out, I heard from somebody that attended the meeting that over 1/2 the JWs missed that meeting because they were preparing at home for the storm that was coming.

  I was told that a comment was made from the platform that their absence was a demonstration of their lack of faith in Jehovah.

  Things that make you go.... hmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!

  Yes. I'm still very much the proud prude, and very conservative looking. It's who I am. Won't change, really. Quite comfortable being like this.

  for those of you who will be disgusted that i even attended the meeting, let alone allow my son to give his first public talk tonight, please, spare me the shouting messages.

  i take full responsibility for what i experienced this evening.

  yet, i feel the need to share this experience that has me enraged.

  i have just witnessed for myself one of the most hypocritical scenes ever before in my life!

  my sister's ex husband, ( father to 3 boys, 12, 15, 20 years) commited suicide a few days ago.

  he has been a jehova's witness all of his life and and also suffered from bi polar disorder for most of it also, particularly bad in the past 3 years.

  I was never very good at shunning others. I thought it was so rude to do so.

  Crazy Comments

  by Cori in

  was there a comment made at a meeting that finally convinced you, this is not right?

  for me a couple of months ago was in the service meeting, they stated that if the children didnt finish their homework because they were studying the bible or at a meeting that teachers should understand that their meetings and study are more important.

  i looked at my wife and went "what"?

  One time, a long time ago, while out in service, we saw a bird eating roadkill and this 'loving brother' (yeah, right!) said: "Soon the birds will have a feast eating so much flesh after Armageddon". Then, everyone in the van broke out laughing and saying how they just "couldn't wait!"

  I thought such comment, and with the tone of voice and the facial expression it was said, was among the most horrible things I had heard ever!

  It only made me more determined to leave the cultish mindset of the WBTS.
