Thank you jwn
by moley init was recently that i found out that my dad was a paedophile while reading a post on this site (shocker to say the least), but out of something so awful a good thing has occurred.
some on here will know my backstory about how my loving jw parents disowned, but i digress.
thanks to that post i am now in contact with my sister who unbeknown to me is a member of this site and saw my response on the thread about my dad.

People think I'm dead...
by Garrett inhey guys and gals,.
sorry to keep harassing you with these posts.... so today, i decided i was ready to look at a text from a sister who "liked" me.
she knew about my depression and apparently she says everyone is worried about me and she wants me to respond because she's worried that i'm not "here" anymore.

I agree...send her back "I'm still here". Stop there. Tell her NOTHING else. You will have people fishing around (nosy people). We had the same thing happen. Tell them you are still around and leave it at that. It drives em nuts when they don't get the info they want. -

It's a different generation of young ones. Most could care less. The older generation gulped all of this down and this younger generation is a whole different story! They are trying to capture the little ones (Caleb and Sophia) because they know they blew it with the 20 something generation. They had better put Caleb and Sophia in a video game or something more creative. Kids need more entertainment than cut out dolls that need to be dressed for the meetings and cut outs a Bethel that you can have your photo taken with. These kids need high tech and lots of excitement. -

"I work tirelessly assisting those in the congregation to stay on an even keel. I drive 2 รณ hours to study with deaf prison inmates, people that society at large have thrown away as valueless, and I see them improving their lives to become righteous people that will hopefully escape their divine death sentence and learn to be productive people. I have given up worship in my own heart language to help the Deaf, who have only begun to have the Bible in their language since 2005; the deaf that so many, including their own families, write off as being not worth the trouble. I have seen individuals truly change their lives as a"
So humble! This guy really likes himself! He has an "I" problem. The problem we have observed with our families is that they will go to the ends of the earth for perfect strangers and don't give a rats a** about their families! They will help murders, rapists, child molesters, etc., but won't give you the time of day because you don't go to the meetings anymore. And they wonder why! Hypocrites!!!

Not Seating at the Same Place in All Meetings.
by Tempest in a Teacup ini haven't heard this one in a while but it has been on my mind lately.
maybe it's because i'm noticing that these days people at the kh are going the extra mile to vary their seating places in all meetings.. having skipped meetings for a few weeks, i'm wondering if there has been a talk/article about that recently.
that's one of the most laughable rules they made and i never felt bound by it.

One word...CONTROL!! They want exclusive control, so they make up all kinds of man made rules to see all the stupid/clueless people who they can control with fear. It works on so many! We refused to participate! Now we can sit anywhere we want, i.e. the beach, the lake, the mountains, in front of the TV, stay in bed Saturday and Sundays (so many choices). It's incredible! -

What is dating as a JW like
by UFCFan infirst off i want to say that i'm a teenager which makes my situation interesting.
i don't want to give too many details in case someone i know reads this but i'm between 14 and 18, homeschooled, and i've been awake for around one or one and a half years.
i already have a plan to attend usc or wisconsin university if i'm smart enough to get in and then move to san jose and try and get a job working for a hs football team or with a soccer team, since i want to coach sports or be an agent.. now, this all sounds great in theory but there's one thing i've been thinking about that makes me doubt my plan.

Go to college! You are young and have your whole life ahead of you. We tell our kids you have a lifetime to get married, have kids, buy a home, etc., but you are young only once....enjoy that time. You only get it once. I know I sound like a parent, and I am, but it's hard to concentrate when you are building a relationship, having children or paying a mortgage. The more distractions you have the better (right now).
Enjoy your youth!!!!
