jehovah's witnesses cannot do a lot of things.
i remember pioneers having to quit their jobs because they could not work in a convenience store and sell cigarettes.
i know of a young man who was offered a scholarship to any college or university if he wanted to go to because of his football abilities.
Hey schnell,
I did something along along the same line to my son many years ago,
I figured out a way to make it up to him somewhat
Still bugs me but I'm glad I did what I could do
Might be years later but is there anything nice you could do for him?

a bit of an update, last weekend was my great grandmothers funeral, now, she was never a jw, and never was going to be, no matter how hard my mother, and grandmother tried to preach to her, she was the type of person that would kindly accept a wt or a book, but she wouldn't bother reading them.. anyways, she was a great wonderful and inspiring woman, the funeral was extremely sad, she had been a school teacher for over 35 years and a member of various clubs, so there were a lot of folks besides family that attended.. well, anyways i was there and so was my jw mother, stepfather, and grandmother, we were cordial, didn't talk about anything jw related because, it was great grandmothers funeral, not really a time to discuss how i am an evil sinner, or how i've escaped the org by avoiding df'ing, right?
wrong, as i'm sitting waiting for the service to begin, a lady shows up, now- i have known this woman for a long time, apparently she baby sat me as a small child, (like i remember?
) so she isn't someone i was ever close with, but knew of her or when she was around would say hi to and make small talk.. to give you a tid-bit on her personality though, she is one of those crazy jw's.. she claims to have been possessed by a demon, very very wacky on the prophesies, or gb talks, etc.
I'm so sorry for your loss Raven
The loss of my own grandmother was the hardest for me
In regard to crazy lady
Sane people even in the jdubs know she's crazy so I wouldn't worry
Stay clear as much as you can and
Make sure you know how to block numbers if necessary
Also if it's not too much trouble and if you can do it privately:
Find out her number
Set her up as a contact so
If she ever calls
You will see her name on call display and you won't answer
As I was reading your account I found it remarkable
how well you held yourself together,
Cheers,
Tepid

I was thinking that predestination would be a great defense at a murder trial!
"M. Cauvin did you in fact burn M. Servetus at the stake over
Theological differences?"
"Mais oui Monseignor,
But I had no control over these events
That was meant to be
Have you not read my Thesis?

Search and find some true meaning in my life, maybe join the Peace Corp,
Since leaving 3 years ago I've travelled all over North America,
volunteered for Feeding America, volunteered for
Secular Outreach, played one charity concert for Cancer Research, played
in two jazz bands, acted in several short films, started writing screenplays,
If I had had stayed in I would've?? Well you know :)
i truly don't understand the mindset of a troll.
i know it's been explained, but i still don't get it.
it is hard to distinguish between a troll and a jw apologist at times because the reactions are very similar.
so a user named "the-question" said the jw's were right about 607 bce.. this is your chance brother to prove us all wrong.. we all can't wait to hear from you :).

You realize folks that at any time
Watch Tower can rewrite everything
And make it sound like it's their own brilliant idea
It's not like it's never happened before
Sorry
Carry on
:)
meant to hopefully get your mind off the craziness which we sadly refer to as the news these days,.
we'll call this one .
fun for seculars.
