  Was Being A Jehovah's Witnesses A Bad Investment For You?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  you could look at being a jw in a negative or somewhat positive way.

  by that, i mean, for example---some say that had they not been witnesses, they are sure they'd be in jail today.

  others might say, their whole lives were robbed of fun and money---simply because they filled their times as preachers and meeting attenders.

  I think it was the worst thing that ever happened to my family. My mother started studing, and then started taking us kids. We used to see my grandmom all the time, but that stopped. We had to choose between mom and dad. My brothers that did not study, well, we lost our close relationship. Now I am the enemy. My kids are confused about what is right. Sometimes I think I should stay. It's like the glue is gone from our family. (hope I am making sense here) But I do wish we never went to the kh.

  . Now I've come to realize that I don't know if there's a god or not;

  I am so with you on this. I think there is, but I just don't know anymore. I am still searching. Looking for a church to take my family. The only thing wrong with this, is I tear them apart even before the service begins, then I don't go back.

  . Anybody have any encouraging words or experiences with extractions. Hopefully, I'll feel better tomorrow.

  ELK,

  The pain doesn't last forever. Don't bite the inside of your cheeck. It is numb now, but wait til morning. Don't eat potato chips on that side of your mouth. Those pointy edges can really hurt when they hit the gum. If you are still hurting from the extraction, take some tylenol or asprin, I am a fan of ibprofin. That helps with the swelling too.

  The coldness of Watchtowerism thread

  by Brummie in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when my dad died on november 9th none of my jw family turned to comfort my mother, no phone calls no cards no words of comfort.

  its over a month now and still they havent made any contact.

  it doesnt really matter since they are all jws on my moms side but dads side of the family are catholic so they were all there to give the strength needed to cope.

  Brummie,

  I so understand how you feel. My mom made all the meetings, but never went out in service. My Dad was a double amputee and going blind. After my Dad died, my grandfather had a stroke. He moved in with my Mom and I. He died in October. Now just a couple of years apart, one on Oct. 4 the other Oct. 5th, she lost her husband and dad. I am still waiting for someone to call my mother and ask her how she is. She is in her 60s.

  Here is one more story. 10 1/2 yrs ago I lost one of my children. To say I lost my mind would be an understatement. After the service, I stayed with my sister for two weeks. I had two older children, and I was in no shape to care for them. When I came home, I was told that the ones in the congregation would have helped me if I just hung around. Since I ran away, don't look for them to help me. Talk about love. (and yes, I was dumb enough to stay for another 10+ yrs.)

  If you left JW's, somebody persuaded you -- you couldn't decide on your own

  by Gopher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  have you ever heard this from a jw relative or friend?

  it seems that jw's believe that, unless you're really evil -- you're weak.

  so weak, that you need others to help you decide whether or not to stay with the jw's.. my jw dad (a congregation elder) said i sounded "just like my sister" who had da'd herself years earlier.

  My family blames the internet. All those things I read online can't be right. Of course I only started looking on the net for info on the 607 thing. I had doubts because I was weak. I was told I never made the truth my own. I set out to do that. That's how I wound up here.

  How to change 1914

  by Bendrr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  chances are this post will find it's way to the eyes of the spies in brooklyn but what the hell.

  i'm here to help, even if it means sending a crate of ammo to the enemy.. as a rule i stay out of discussions of the empire's doctrinal issues.

  not that i don't read them, i just usually don't have anything to add.

  Mike,

  What you said, is almost exactly what I asked family members. I also thru in about if satan was cast down, wasn't that about the time HItler was coming to power. Maybe when he was cast down, he joined with Hitler. That's how it all happened. I was told that was apostate talk, and they would hear no more.

  (yes I know it was more like 1933 he started to come into power, but it's kinda close)
