How to help an active jw to go out??
by Nicolas in

one of my sister who is a jw is still trying to keep contact with us and she's is supposed to shun us.

the problem is that i don't know if i want to see her again, we have almost nothing in common and i see her just once a year but she continue to send us letters at every months and she always told us that she love us.

i would like to do something to make her realize that the wbts doesn't have the truth but i know that she will consider me as an apostate if i say something bad about the jw.. black holes are where god divided by zero.

first of all id like to say hello to everyone on this website, and to thank and acknowledge each and every one of you for your individuality, personal experience, and in some cases, commitment to truth.. having read some of the heartfelt topics and posts here have served to be a great encouragement to me, more than some could imagine.

my name is jason, and i am a recovering ex-jw.. i guess this would be an ideal time to tell my life story as an abbreviated version, so here goes.. i was "born into, or raised" in the organization.

my grandfather was an elder for 45 years, and served as one of the very first jw in the south chicagoland suburbs.

hi, everyone.. on my researches about the jdubs.

i read that they are restricted or forbidden from engaging in activities such as sports, working out in a gym or in martial arts.. i, who does all three, have a question for the members of this forum:.

when you were a jw, could you do any of the three activities mentioned?.

gettogethers disguised as X-mas parties...?
by Richie in
1. jw
2. friends
when you were a jw, how many of you actually went to a gathering of some sorts, which could have been called a disguised x-mas- or new years eve party among witnesses?

we always had parties and large dinners with them during this time, as a lot of witnesses were somewhat despondent or lonely because of the festivities going on in the "world".... appreciate your thoughts about this!.

the latest study article encourages witnesses to display goodness in their everyday lives.

(january 15, 2002).

nothing wrong with that, you may think, but what motive is being fostered in the article?.
