  well it was the missed association with the family, says brenda sutton proudly and unflinchingly.. andd heres why, i had always told our kids... i would die for you, i love you, would die for you, but if you ever leave jehovah i wouldnt be there.

  I was discussing this point with my mom, after expressing surprise that someone I grew up with was now an RN. "I thought going to college was frowned upon?" I said. "Not if you learn a trade to make a living" she corrected. Guess going away to college solely to escape their clutches doesn't qualify.

  i walked by the local double hall this afternoon on my way home from work at about 4:30 pm.

  you would never know it's a special night.

  no cars in the lot, nothing swept, no flowers or decorations...totally dead.

  Well, since I received an invite to Memorial in the mail, and thought I'd check out the vibe before the big event. Every other Christian house of worship in town has signage for this weekend welcoming visitors and decorations or flowers out in front. The hall was a stark contrast--I mean stark. It did not make me want to come back after dark. That's what I expected.

  How is Joe Publisher reacting to all the TV coverage on the abuse cases?

  by 4thgen in

  2. child-abuse

  please pardon if this a repeated topic.

  i have had virtually no contact with any witnesses beside my mother for the past few years.

  she watches tv constantly and claims she has never seen anything on the watchtower abuse cases.

  Governing Body Member Stephan Lett Lies On JW.TV

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i thought it would be important to clearly point in the recent talk by governing body member stephan lett, that he did in fact deliberately lie concerning what he described as lies and false information by apostates, concerning the organization being permissive toward people in the organization who had been involved in pedophilia.

  the truth of the matter is thats exactly what the organization has been doing and perhaps for a long time.

  the recent candace conti law suit where she was awarded 28 million dollars was levied against the wts for its irresponsible behavior by the elders who gave no notification of the accused jonathan kendrick that he had been charged with pedophilia and spent months in jail for his actions .

  2. experiences

  so i actually came out to my mother a few days ago.

  told her how i really felt about being a jw (jehovah's witness) and how i wasn't straight.

  i wasn't surprised by the disapproving response i got because really, i wasn't expecting any more.

  Is there anything about the JW's you still like?

  by donny in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some jw's on various postingshave asked me was there anything about the jw's i still agree with.

  of course there are some things i agree with and some i partially do.

  1. political involvement - while i do not agree with totally avoiding anything associated with politics, i agree that many of todays churches are way too involved in trying to sway their constituents beliefs.

  I do still tend to believe that when you die you are dead--no ticket to heaven, no hell, and no eternal soul. I do not believe in a resurrection. There's a popular tv show now about what happens when the dead walk.

  My love for this show definitely has its roots in watching for the end of the world.
