  Welcome Cuddlepie!!!

  Yes, I would have to say that your mother is speaking according to "script"...because of the mind control that is used at all the meetings.

  As an active JW, I use to feel the same way....that "worldly people" just can't show you true love............UNTIL my divorce. Yes, my husband left me and the so called "worldly girls" at work, that had been thru a divorce showed me more care and concern. The KH I attended seemed to just let me flounder as a divorced person. OH yeah...I had a couple sisters, but my world changed dramatically and association other than meetings or field service was almost non existant. WOW...big shock to me, that a "worldly person" could really show genuine care and concern.

  Then I remarried a JW...moved to the other side of the US...........was never really accepted by any of the KH's.......I tried to be active...But I couldn't believe the "blatant lack of love"......I began to work full time again. The group I worked with were totally kind to me and helped me out when I was "in need", and my friend in the "truth" only made sure I got to her anniversay party. Boy did that "open my eyes". My "worldly neighbors"...(gasp) where also "there for me"...

  when i was in the truth, i remember how we were encouraged to cultivate a personal relationship with jehovah.

  we were to think of him as our friend and to rely on him soley.

  Welcome to the board

  Yes, I have a personal relationship with Jehovah. Before fading and an active JW, he did answer my prayers. I still have a personal relationship with Jehovah...which is entirely different than having one with an organization..

  is there a way to put up audio clips for all to listen to?

  i have a few doozies.. man, i lost count of the times they were hammering on "the slave"... obey the slave blah blah and "have faith in the organization.".

  "keep repeating the lie, and it will eventually take on a life of its own".

  Thanks for sharing that article.....and especially the internet address without reading it from JWD...it will be great to show my JW relatives what is really happening regarding the pedophiles within the WTBS, even if they say their area has NO problems.

  Would you marry not for love but for a visa?

  by Atilla in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a friend of mine was approached by a asian family living here in the u.s. that wants to get a family member, a 18 year girl living in the south east asia region here to america.

  they want my friend to get married to this girl for a year or two so she can eventually become an american citizen.

  the family living here has offered to pay for all expenses; my friends air ticket over there and back along with any other expenses incurred plus a lump sum payment upon her successful immigration here to the u.s. my friend is maybe considering it but he hasn't even seen a picture of the girl yet and he is somewhat older(about 9 year difference) than the girl.. now if they fall in love or consemate the relationship, that's totally up in the air and i guess open to bargaining and my friend would totally be free to get a divorce once the girl gets to the u.s. i did ask some of my friends what they thought, and everyone pretty much said no.

  hmmmmmmmmmmm...it's gonna take longer than 2 years to complete that assignment of being a "permanent resident".

  I know......I am an American woman and fell in love with a "hot" Canadian guy..........but he was already in the process of getting his TN Visa because he had a job in the States......

  WE have been married 4 years...........the INS isn't playing games here. They want DEFINITE proof that you have a concrete, REAL marriage before that Permanent Resident CARD appears...WE know....my "hot" Canadian hubby just got approved for that card.........YAHOOOOO!!!

  You can't fool the INS....

  Counting Time..what your opinion?

  by CaptK in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was a dub i use to get so mad trying to get in the national average of 10 hours a month.

  i would work during the week then get 2 - 2.5 hours on sat for maybe 8 - 10 hours a month.

  others like the elders would always be above that average and a lot of the time some of these elders would skip out on vacation or who knows what on half of the saturdays.

  Blondie, you are right on

  I fully agree with every point you have made!!!

  Also reading COC and ISOCF, you will find a lot of the "uppercrusts" didn't get much or any real "time" in...made it hard for their wives as well.

  Thanks for sharing this info, it is very valuable!!!

  It helps me to understand why I am feeling the way I do.........I am fading, have been for a year....I have recently read both of Steve Hassan's books on mind control as well.

  I am feeling very "lost" at this point in time....the article explains quite well why I "feel" the way I do.
