I got a picture frame, a Caress bundle (soap, a loofa, and body wash)...and a Jasmine thinline acoustic/electric guitar from my boyfriend....the latter was the best gift ever! I'm so happy this Christmas ...despite the fact that my Witness family doesn't talk to me...but this year I made my boyfriends family my own....so It was definitely not a bust.

Hi everyone I'm new to this site and am just looking for some help as to the best way to go about talking to my mother about WTS.
I've told her about the hypocrisies of the Watchtower and cited some examples where they were wrong including about their association with the
United Nations....but she just yells thats a lie that's a lie..(in spanish)...lol
She is very dissapointed in me for leaving and says that the only day she will be happy is when I come back to the "truth"..but I'm convinced
that I will never go back to the WTS or take part in the mind-control of others.
So she said to give show her point by point why I think the WTS is wrong and put in a file and give it to her and she will give me her responses.
I love my mom very much that's why i want her to realize that the WTS is not a good investment and that it's all a big lie...but it seems like a lost
cause...but since she's given me this opportunity even though she knows she shouldn't read apostate litereature she says "she's not scared"...so
I would like to know if anyone can help me and some tips on the best things I should tell her about wts ...I mean I want her to know I know what I'm
talking about when I say that WTS has many flaws....She basically follows WTS blindly so I know if I present her with some good arguments she
will at least have to question her faith a little...Any kind of help is appreciated...thanx

The Society has given up on "holiday witnessing"
by dothemath in.
up until a few years ago......every dec. km had a part encouraging everyone to go in the ministry on the holidays.......christmas day, etc.. no one ever got too excited about it in our cong.
.........it was pretty much a joke to everyone even when commenting on it during the meeting part.. that no longer seems to be the case..........haven't seen any parts like this for a few years now......i guess they've given up completely.. the meeting part usually included some "fine experiences"......but i have heard exactly the opposite from some who actually tried it one time.. have any of you ever went in service on christmas day?

On holidays when we would go preaching I would take it upon myself to be the "DOOR RINGER" ...and then I'd pretend to ring the bell like put my finger over it but not really ring it....lol....I always wondered if anyone would ever catch on...but none of my partners ever did...I felt bad about it afterwards...but now I feel like I spared a few people from the grip of the WTS ...sometimes I wanna go out in "service" preaching to NOT listen to WTS...maybe It will undo all the guilt I have now for introducing so many people to the wts.

Was Being A Jehovah's Witnesses A Bad Investment For You?
by minimus inyou could look at being a jw in a negative or somewhat positive way.
by that, i mean, for example---some say that had they not been witnesses, they are sure they'd be in jail today.
others might say, their whole lives were robbed of fun and money---simply because they filled their times as preachers and meeting attenders.

I think that some positive things came out of becoming a witness, but for the most part the negative things outweighed the bad, So I must say that if I could go back and change things I would never have gotten baptized because I feel that I was too young (16 years old) and I was very naive at that time. I was one of those kids that grew up with a mother that always wanted more from you...and in my quest to please my mother I submerged myself into Witness belief ...always believing that if the society said jump i'd say how high...i remember days I would be in the hall and they would announce a disfellowshipment...I would think to myself how awful and that would never happen to me..not me, I'm never going to leave "the truth"....Wow How blind I was in those days I almost wish I could go back because with everything that went down from the moment I sat in my room and doubted the society to my ultimate shunning. The reason I left was because my family and the elders always wanted more from me and they were never satisfied with my service, I was very dissappointed in the society and I questioned why they had placed a system that makes people feel like they are less than others...people were blatantly telling me that so and so person was More spiritual...and so I asked myself why am I spending every morning out in service sometimes freezing my ass off to preach the word if god would always want more. I asked myself why couldn't i go to college? why should I have to aspire to go to Bethel? to live in a place where I would further be controlled.
SO in conclusion I think that because of the WTS I know how easily people can be controlled, I know that simple things in life are what matter and now I know I'll never take my freedoms for granted because I remember when I was living with a mom that had no problem physically abusing me because she thought she was doing the right thing by not holding back because the society told her she could.
MOST of all I VALUE my PRIVACY. Dang...if i commit a sin I don't have to feel compelled to confess to anyone but God because I have a relationship with him and not with men. And my business is my business no more confiding in back-stabbing brothers and sisters.
woo...that was alot of steam ...sorry
But I feel that being a witness has set me back years...i had to leave my house and leave school to make it on my own because my mom had no problem Kicking me out of the house...Now I'm living in an apartment and I have no friends or family I feel like I have to start my life all over again, the only thing I'm glad for is that thank god i left now when I'm 21 because at least I have time to repair the damage that WTS has done to me.
