College Quote - Help Needed
by kp138 ini don't post on here for often, but i read posts almost daily and i love our little community of ex-jw's.
a little bit of a background i was raised in as jw but was never baptized but was a publisher and believe it wholehearedly.
my father was very strict when it came to the religion and although i really quit going in my early 20s (which broke his heart) it held a power over me until i was close the to 30. at 30 i decided to enroll in community college while working full time and got my aa last year.

Hi Kp138,
Personally I wouldn't get that detailed and specific about a quote in the Watchtower, but you can definitely mention that you were brought up as a witness and it was not encouraged to seek higher education , but you realized that it's something very important to you.
All the best you Bud.

Mandatory voting in USA
by Sour Grapes ini am sure that president obama's saying today that mandatory voting in the usa would be a good thing is going to get the witnesses all excited as they look forward to being persecuted for not voting.
just another sign showing how deep we are into the times of the end and how close they are to burying billions of people who don't read the watchtower.. sour grapes .

There has been mandatory voting in some countries for years; you just show up and (spoil) don't place an ex on any candidate. -

I totally like Putin and think he's the man. He is totally misunderstood by most people, most world leaders are intimidated by him, and jealous. It has been a big mistake to alienate him, we need Russia (and their army) to help us fight those Muslim nut bars.

I think the Watchtower's light is starting to dim and may burn out eventually.
The Tower is starting crumble from the top down .

Hello All!
by ihunt ini figure it's about time that i stop silently lurking around this community and actually add to the conversation, so here goes a first post.
a little about me-i was born "half-in", that is, my mother has been a witness for the entirety of my life whereas my father has never been.
i was an active part of the congregation (at least for what an unbaptized publisher can do) until i turned 18 and got an opportunity to attend a university (go school!).

Why do I suddenly want to start reading JW literature and going to Kingdom Halls?
by yogosans14 inis good calling me back or am i just letting my emotions get the best of me?also i really want to be closer to my jw family.
btw i was never baptized and i consider myself a born again christian i go to a baptist church and wath televangelist and i have expirenced gods presence like never before but sometimes i get fearful and think "what if jws are right and i'm wrong" than i'm screwed!but if there wrong and i'm right it doesn't look to good for them.. i would prefer if nobody posted "god isn't real" type comments.
i truly believe he is real but i respect why some are atheists..

I'm really surprised that the big boys up at Brooklyn have not asked him to go join the lovely bethel family. I bet he will be headed there soon, they need a person that is well versed in the law to defend their BS. -

Federal prisoner, child of active JW, could be my grandchild?
by FatFreek 2005 ini recently learned of the possibility that my son has a love child and that this child is in prison.
the child was born in the early 80s.
i learned that my ex-wife and her parents may have paid a large sum of money to the young mother (and others) in order to keep this scandal out of the press and perhaps out of earshot of the local elders.

Hello Fatfreek,
You say you are still on good terms with your ex-in laws, I would call them up and ask them if they are aware of this, I suspect they would know. If you get the feeling that they are aware of this child call your son up and confront him with this news, this is a grandchild that has been deprived the love of a grandparent.
Furthermore, your son needs a nice moral slap in the face for his holier then thou attitude for shunning you all these years while he may have a skeleton in his closet.
