Mr. Mark. - If your intention on this site is to help Ex JW's return to Jehovah. Perhaps you should review the way you as a Christian need to treat people. Please review the Return to Jehovah brochure page 14.

HOW WILL THE CONGREGATION RECEIVE ME? You can be sure that members of the congregation will warmly welcome you. Rather than criticize or judge you, they will confirm their love for you and do whatever they can to encourage you.—Hebrews 10:24, 25. (Here is scripture you can look up too!)

Enjoy

Another heavy load :Literature Cart Witnessing

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

jehovah's witnesses standing on a street corner publicly promoting the propaganda of the governing body!another ridiculous form of "forced loyalty" to jehovah.

"dirty work" that the wtbts make witnesses go through.preaching work '' lite''.putting more heavy loads on members while the ''faithful and discreet slave'' preach from warm studios without the humiliation.

what an embarrassment!.

We have family that do the cart witnessing. Trust me...if the cart witnessing was hard work, they would be the last ones to do it. The laziest bunch I have ever laid eyes on!

brandnew - Awesome response.

Mr. Mark - I know of elderly folks that do not have such a loving son as brandnew. They have no one to pick them up and take them to the meeting. Yes, they have adult children in the "truth", The problem is...they are just to self righteous and busy taking care of the congregation to take care of their aging parents.

That is sad that so many of us had to give up things we may have been good at. Broken dreams and broken promises.

You are doing a great job. Direct the kids in what they love to do. We always tell our children, "we weren't allowed to pursue this or that because the end was so close. You both have the opportunity to do what we couldn't." They are doing great!

Kids are resilient! I tell my spouse all the time, "if we can just keep them away from the JW mentality, they will be fine. lol They are fine and your children will be fine too. Love them, guide them, listen to them and give them room to thrive. You sound like a terrific parent! Rock on Hadriel!

We also left when our kids were teens. I don't think they really felt like a part of the congregation. You see, my husband was not an MS or elder. Like you, he never had the urge to reach out. I wonder why! (sarcasm) This has a large impact on how kids are treated in the congregation. No uber Daddy, no invites!

Our kids are fine. We talk to them about things . We are very open and honest with both of them. Kids are not stupid, they know more than we think. We never encouraged them to get baptized. I wonder why! (sarcasm again).

Be honest and candid with your kids. They can see the cracks, just as well as we can. Our children have found more genuine, caring and kind friends in the "world." I truly believe if our home was destroyed this evening our friends and neighbors would drop everything to help. People are typically kinds by nature. We've just been brainwashed all of our lives that every non JW is sporting a pitch fork and horns. NOT TRUE!
