well the title of my subject seems a bit pathetic, but i truly am in need of friendship.
my whole life and marriage have been turned upside down with my husband "studying" with a jehovah's witness.
he hasnt done a lot of meeting with this man, but he does believe all their doctrine.
Welcome to the board. You're already getting a lot of good advice. It is important to stay calm, because the JWs like to tell their new "studys" that Satan will use their loved ones to make them stop studying. The 2 books you've mentioned are my two personal favorites, they should be very helpful. I hope your husband will agree to look at them. I hope you will be able to reach your husband, please keep us updated.

i need some help- can anyone give me the names of scholars that the wt frequently misquote, maybe even links to show the true context of some of the misquotes.

..... which has been treated in a thread here earlier, and found not to be impressing, to say the least. Mixing of what is stated in the paragraphs to be facts and what is opinions, so that a picture is created which is as wrong as one claims the WT has done ......
I'm curious, can you give a specific example? For the most part, the WT appears to have quoted some of these people in support of their view, when in fact the authors have the opposite view.

My grandmother, who is not a JW, but a Bible Student, believes she is one of the 144,000.

just want everyone to know that i am doing ok. those of you who have expressed concern that you have not heard from me in a while, well, thanks, but it hasn?t been that long.
my last update was either yesterday or thursday.
i feel terribly overwhelmed at present.
I've been following your story, I'm glad your daughter is on the road to recovery. I think you wanting to help other JW children is an AWESOME idea. I have 5 young cousins stuck in the cult, and I worry about what will happen when they screw up like normal kids do and their parents turn their back on them. Two of them have already left home, and I worry about how they will function in the real world when they've been taught to fear it all of their lives. I have so much respect for what you are doing for your girls. Please continue to keep us updated.

do you think it will be sparse at the meeting today?
i went to a congo where a large group went camping every labor day weekend but only by invitation.
comments you will not hear at the 9-5-04 wt study (august 1, 2004 issue) (abbreviated)
How typical. A whole article about humility and they leave out the greatest biblical example of all: Jesus. What a bunch of self-serving garbage. Thanks for another great review, Blondie.

my son was born after i faded.
his dad and i always have had christmas (father never was jw).
we celebrate his birthday and we do easter.
I was never a JW, but I still have a hard time getting that "warm fuzzy" feeling about Christmas or Easter. They are both so commercialized, the religious meaning is kind of lost. And my family is so dysfunctional, it just is not a fun time.
I have good memories of Christmas when I was a kid. The funny thing is, most of them of are of spending time at my Grandma's house and she was a JW. She never gave us presents, and didn't decorate, but it was always so nice to see all my aunts, uncles, and cousins. She died 14 years ago, and the holidays just aren't fun anymore. I mostly miss all my fun relatives- they have either died or been sucked into the cult themselves and are much more rigid than my Grandma was about family get-togethers on holidays.
Birthdays are cool, though. I don't care much about mine, but I had a great time celebrating my son's first birthday. I don't think there's anything wrong with letting someone you love know you are happy they've been with you another year. And I don't need an occasion to buy him presents, I spoil him rotten all year long

the set up
it was getting close to noon and elese decided to give her mother a call to let her know she was ready to be picked up.
sara said she had to stop by the kingdom hall to drop off some ice for the brothers doing the remodeling.
That is awesome, good for you. I hope you gave them all a little food for thought- LOL
