I flipped out on my JW mum - (Vent)

by Sirona in

i feel ashamed of how i spoke to her - here is what happened:.

leading up to christmas she emphasised more than once how i shouldn't be celebrating.

she knows i'm part of a pagan religion now and she made comments about me being a "pagan celebrator" and she wasn't being nice about it.

I had a similar conversation with my father 12 months ago when he told me that it 'troubled his conscience' to come to my wedding. I was getting married FFS which should have made him happy as I was no longer living in sin, but it wouldn't have looked too good in the congregation would it with him being an elder. My last words to him were to tell him I thought he was a sanctimonious cnut.

Thing is that now I'm married and I'm planning a family. My kids will never get to know their grandfather because he's too hard headed to bend even a little. Admittedly I'm just as stubborn and won't have anything to do with him, and wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.

The only thing I would say is that if you can rebuild your relationship with your mum and not resort to conflict then in time she may see through the witnesses. If you cut yourself off from her then she will run into their arms even further as she will see the JW's as her only family she has left.

Good luck

Choosing another religion?

by asleif_dufansdottir in

a discussion on another thread made me wonder about what happens when we finally come to the conclusion that the society is full of sh*t.

did you take some time to 'get your religious bearings' before contemplating joining another religion?

or, was it a strong religious belief that brought you out of the jws?

s'ok, we all get a bit cranky at times

LT how do you define a Christian? I am fine with his teachings of acceptance but then there are the flip side teachings which are less accepting and put me off.

This is really interesting and perhaps get's more to the point of what I was trying to ask when I posed the question why.

To clarify my personal viewpoint and perhaps explain where I am coming from -

1) Was raised a 3rd generation JW with an elder as a father

2) Was very enthusiastic and committed as a teenager until the age of 14 when I discovered girls

3) Really started to become disillusioned when I saw how people treated each other even within the organisation and how they ignored the plight of others outside of the religion. When band aid happened I was sickened to hear some elders councilling others about donating to charity, they said the money would be better used to spread the world than feeding the starving.

4) Was baptised at 16 through family pressure. By this point I was smoking and not at all interested

5) Really began examining the JW teachings in response to my realisation that the beard issue was not only rediculous but merely the teaching of men with no scriptural basis

6) Was DF'd at 18 for immorality

7) Completely rejected the JW faith and also the bible based on the innacuracy of the creation account and scientific proof of the existance of man many thousands of years ago.

8) Considered reinstatement at 24 following a particularly bad experience but couldn't live with the hypocracy

9) Briefly investigated paganism, budhism and Islam and found that paganism sits quite well with my world view and feelings of oneness with the world

10) Questioned the existance of a christian/judaic god as it doesn't make any sense for 'god' to be so mean, vindictive, petty and egotistical. If god exists in a 'worship me or die' form then I'm not interested. This is why I don't get why people jump from the JW's and still hang on to Christianity. Being good to others and accepting people of all faiths, creeds and backgrounds as Christ did is exactly what I believe in, but to follow Christ you need to accept his divinity, which I don't, and also accept all the bad stuff in the NT

I'm now coming to a point where I am settled, married and trying to start a family so I am again thinking of the spiritual and wish to look back into paganism and druidic teachings. I'm also interested in learning more about shamanism, anyone got any pointers to good sources of information on paganism or shamanism?

French Press Not Objective in US Iraq War

journalist lambasts french war coverage

Satans little helper

you all make me laugh, you lambast the French press for pointing out that you are being suckered by your government when your press has been hamstrung by 'patriotism'. Isn't it interesting that as soon as anyone in the US criticises the US government they are labellled 'unpatriotic' or 'liberal' as though the government were beyond reproach.

Compare that to how the WTS controls what the flock sees and also to how the Soviets controlled thier press for years.

ARE WE FRIENDS OR ARE WE MORE?

by Serena in

i am so confused about this guy that i have been secretly talking to on the phone and secretly going to his apartment(only at nighttime).

he is a jw, ofcourse--if he wasn't i'm sure i would not have this confusion.

he flirts with me,touches me an chance he gets(on the shoulder or the knee) and i know he likes me more than friendship(or maybe he doesn't, who knows?).

Satans little helper

I disagree, I was the JW in that same situation and I binned out on the religion to be with the girl.

Sounds to me like they are both young, probably early 20's if he has been working for 2 years since finishing his degree, and at a guess I would say he was brought up a dub and still lived at home.

If she can persuade him that there is no guilt in good sex and he can see that the religion is a crock of shit then she's onto a winner, but only if he is mature enough to leave it.

It's interesting that the GB spend so much effort trying to control what the flock do in the marraige bed yet ignore the members of Bethal that like little boys. Oh the irony, yet it is more sad that some actually look to this evil organisation for guidelines to run their lives.

I watched all the films to see if the directors vision matched what I saw in my head when I was reading the books for the gazillionth time. I've always had my head stuck in books so I pity those that have not the patience or imagination to read.

For fun list how you feel Watchtower is the Anti-Christ

by ARoarer in

on studying the bible in the past and learning watchtower's definitions of false doctrine, i have been able to reason now when i compare these teachings to be anti christian.

i read another post that listed all of their articles that make the "trinity" of jehovah, his word and the organiztion.

after viewing the articles listed it made me feel how against christ they really are, even though they give lip service to him.

Satans little helper

question what you are taught ......... only just so long as you don't question what comes from the GB

but this just makes them a false religion, not necessarily the antichrist. Personally I think they would be part of babylon the great, if it wasn't all the figment of a drug addled mind
