Interesting Thing My Little Girl Said Today
by pale.emperor inmy 3yo daughter lives with me 4 days and with her mum 3 days.
i have her tues, wed, fri evening and saturday all day.
which means my ex takes her to sunday and thursday meetings but she doesn't go door knocking on saturday because she's with me.. i dont mind - at the moment - because in a way i want her to know the jw jargon so we can talk about it without having to explain what it is, and i want her to compare the bullshit to the real world.

Eventually she will come to her own conclusions. If her Mom doesn't attend much, more than likely your daughter will be deemed "from a weak family." My kids were from a "weak family." Our kids saw right through it. This generation of kids has the internet and they are using it. Right now she is at the age where everything is fun and she is looking at things through a childs eyes. I told my kids (they are older) if they ever wanted to return to WT, I would request one thing from them...a research paper on WT. These teenagers are smart and can see through the BS. This generation doesn't like judgement or lots of micro managing rules. It's different than when we were kids.
She sounds like a smart kid and I hated field circus when I was a kid. Hated it as an adult too. Let's be honest...everyone hates field circus. lol
By the way...I am so glad we were from a weak family. It got us out!! Best thing that ever happened. Thank you WT for being a bunch of ass*oles. It made the decision so much easier!

Great post ! Thank you for putting it out there. I love these 2, they do a great job.
So many younger ones don't remember this time period or were not born yet. We were young at the time but our families admit that WT really did build this up. There are talks at assemblies to prove it. Mike and Kim recently put those out there on their You tube.

I've Just Noticed Something About The "Remember The Wife Of Lot" Video
by pale.emperor inmaybe you guys got on to this right away, but i've just noticed something about the remember the wife of lot video.. we all know the scene where the judgmental jw dad gives that disapproving look to the girl who has lesbian parents:.
this look actually appears again throughout the video - but on other jws.
in the scene where the new brother is out in service with the former co. look at the new brothers reaction to when a "worldly" person knows the former co from work:.

I found it funny that each scene in field service, the householder knew the JW. Ok....you live in a large city. What are the odds you run into someone at the door who knows you. Just goes to show how unrealistic the JW's are.
That video was a joke!

What is the most bizarre counsel you received as a JW, from a JW?
by Funchback inthere were many addressed to me.
for example, i once had a sister tell me i was gambling because i liked playing skill crane (the machine where you have to try to pick up prizes like stuffed animals) at the arcade.
i then fired back a her: "you saw the r-rated movie 'backdraft.

I was "given advise" from an Elders wife (a real...woof), about how I should dress. I gave her some of MY advise. Let's just say she never "advised" me again. Lol

I Give Up!
by pale.emperor inim giving up guys.
i've reached the end of my patience and now i finally refuse to waste any more time on part-time witnesses.
i've text all of my active jw family members and told them to delete my number from their phone and never contact me again.

I feel your pain and am sorry that happened. My spouse and I have given up on trying to assist our in JW family out of the cult. Some do very minimum activity in WT, so we just keep our conversations on family issues and if anything is brought up, we change the subject.
It sounds like your family got a hold of him and trash talked you. Even if your family knows nothing, they will make up something. It's the JW way. I have a close friend that is studying with the JW's. I am just kind and keep off the subject of the witnesses. I figure, if he stays in, it will just be a matter of time before he is disappointed and offended by something. Let em enjoy his cult for now. I have a feeling he'll be back one day.
