  Great garage sale find

  by kj in

  i was at a garage sale with my jw aunt and 2-year-old son.

  he was happily entertaining himself with some of the toys for sale, when he picked up a (gasp) santa claus pinata and put it in his wagon!

  do you think he's demonized?

  Yep, his mom said, "No, we don't need any pinatas." It was too funny, he picked a double no-no.

  I'm sorry to hear that it ended up this way. You are doing the right thing, though. Just be there for her when she needs you. Educating her other friends and family is a great idea, too. I know this has to be hard for you, to just let it go for now. Just praying for her. You are a good friend.

  Garage sales

  by poppers in

  from reading this site i've learned that jws frown up buying used clothing etc.

  from second hand stores because of possible 'demonization.

  ' my neighbors are jw and i notice that they have fairly frequent garage sales.

  Maybe that is just some JWs? My JW aunt loves garage sales and occasional garbage picking.

  In the meantime, you have the wonderful task of learning patience while you persevere.

  That is FOR SURE! If you are not a patient person, dealing with JWs will either make you or break you. I'm convinced that is why God has put so many in my path, and has let me bang my head against the wall trying to reason with them. I'm NOT a very patient person, but I'm learining...

  I Think I'm Getting Through To My Daughter!

  my daughter is at her dad's house 50% of the time and he along with his family have been indoctrinating her since birth.

  up until recently she has always said she is a jehovah's witness.

  i have been reasoning with her in the past 6 months to a year (i used to take the path of least agression but final decided i need to combat some of their teachings if she is to think for herself).

  Shawn-

  I totally know where you are coming from, but you need to listen to the advice you're getting. Take it SLOW. I did the same thing trying to "save" my mother from the JWs, and in the beginning I did a LOT more harm than good. I've just recently got her to trust me enough to even have a conversation about God and things we've both read in the Bible. I think she sees that I'm not evil, and neither are my Christian friends. That is where you can make the most difference, by proving not to be the evil person that the Watchtower makes all non-JWs out to be.

  I've been on here reading almost every day for over a year and a half. This site has by far been the most valuable to me in understanding the JW mindset and how I might help them. I haven't really seen any results with any of the JWs in my family, but I actually did have 8 months worth of very good discussions with one who came to my door. Now is not the time to steamroll your friend with a bunch of information. You may not be the last link in the chain that helps her leave, but don't be the missing link. The best thing you can do is be a good friend and listen. And keep learning as much as you can. Even if you don't get to help your friend, God might bring someone else along when you are ready to help. Just my opinion, hope it helps.
