Some of my best friends are witnesses and part of me feels reluctant to talk to them about anything I have concern with.
This statement speaks volumes for itself. You as a thinking person already KNOWS that something smells fishy.

An age old mystery has been solved,
by embeth2525 inwhen i was a teenager, my father built a wall in the hallway of our house so that he would not have to have anything to to with me.
i had to do dishes in the bathroom sink and cook on a hotplate.
i never knew why he did this.

Sounds like he must have had some form of mental illness that was magnified by the passing of your mother. Then with the wacky teachings of JW's and the pressure that puts a person under, it was a double whammy to his sanity.
It is a terrible thing to be physicly isolated like that for so many years and your self worth attacked everyday for so long.

Input please
by IP_SEC inno prophecor, not that kinda input.
:p. on another thread i said, when the time comes i will never da myself but will force my bros to df me.
the reason as i see it is to maybe help some to see the fallacy of the whole thing.

You might get away with this tactic for one meeting. The next meeting you will probably be shown the door(bullied and strongarmed by MS and Elders). The third meeting you will be barred from coming in the KH again. Just my 2 cents.

A question about baptism
by fairchild inthis might sound silly, but it is something that bothers me.. for the longest time i had the desire to be baptized as a jw.
recently, after joining this forum and doing a lot of reading around here, i have come to understand that there is a difference between being loyal to jehovah and being loyal to the wts.
if i don't join the wts, then i will never get baptized, but people in the bible clearly got baptized.

And now I almost feel as if there is no other place to go.
Try the Bible Students.........alot of JW teachings without alot of the controlling bullsh*t. I think that there was a recent thread on this topic (sometime in the last week I think).

You don't have to be a member of a church to get babtised. If that is all your after is getting dunked. All you have to do is talk to the pastor of just about any church and I am sure that you will find one that will babtise you.

you don't have to be a JW to be babtised. Many many churches love to babtise people. If you believe Jesus is your savior they will probably be happy to babtise you. And they won't ask you the WTBS loyalty questions that the JW's do. they will ask you "Do you except christ as your savior?" You say "yes". Then your getting dunked.

I choked
by Seeking Knowledge ini have done up a letter to my ex asking him to cease & desist with cramming his "religion" down our sons throat and also to stop our son from calling his wife "mom" and other issues that he's in violation of our custody order with.
it was a nice letter, i told him knock it off or we're going to mediation (in our custody agreement as well) to figure it out.
this was at the advise of my attorney.

Send it Registered and a signature required. That way if they breach it in any way they can't say they never got the letter. It would be your word against thiers. Always do legal documents this way so you have proof it was recieved.
