her son--is 42. he is less than useless. his last long term relationship ended 3 years ago when his wife to be called off the wedding and kicked him out of her house. he went back to live with his mummy--rent free. he cant hold a job for more than a few days. he has a crack cocaine habit. he has bled his mother dry scrounging money to feed his habit. she wont refuse him because he has told her he owes money to his dealers and will end up face down if he doesnt pay up. what else can she do ?

second mother--is my first wife--also in her 60's.

our son is also 42. he and his second wife have a successful business and a quality lifestyle. a lovely son--now 3 yrs 6 months---a very nice house with land in the New Forest UK...and just got back from yet another holiday--Barbados

his mother must be very proud of him.

err--no. She shuns him--has nothing to do with him--why ? because he decided her religion wasnt for him and got disfellowshipped. he hasnt looked back.

i am very proud of him--and will be with them at christmas.

Is there a surge in "Upwakers"?

by Phizzy in

the stupid word in the topic title is a piss-take on the bloody silly jw word "needgreaters" that i have seen them use.. but my question is genuine, i know it is a cyclical thing, we get what seems to be a lot of newbies, and then things quieten down, but not just on here, elsewhere on social media i am seeing stories of people finding the courage to leave, having woken up for a variety of reasons, but usually the child abuse scandal, and the spiteful, judgmental nature of many jw's, who, though supposedly friends, will run off to the elders to snitch on you, not talk to you.

is their a real increase in those leaving ?

i do hope so, so many more finding real freedom and happiness !.

i doubt if the child abuse scandal affects most dubs--after all--its only apostate lies.

but the loss of their own kingdom hall--which they saved up for and have been paying for years--now that will hit hard.

It would be nice if this forum went back to the basics

by nowwhat? in

not to offend or impose my opinion.

but simply i would like to see just news and insights from the local congregation to the top organization level of: downsizing, closings, c.s.a.

personal experiences,unscriptural doctrines of the org.and direct commentary of the above.

i'm selective about what i read. if a see a scripture quoted--i'm out.

What would make an Ex-Jw go back to been a full in Baptized JW

by LOLS in

i was just wondering , why would my jw husband return to been a full blown baptized jw after 20 years of fading?.

he has spent 20 years of his life been a worldly person , with a worldly wife & kids & worldly friends .... to joining the borg full time , to getting baptized , to getting new brothers & sisters .... and to writing off most of his worldly friends (some his known his whole life ) , to trying to convince me & our children how wonderful this org is ......and anyone else who will listen :(.

has anyone ever experienced this ...... oh and he seems to be in it 110% and no-one can say anything about this crazy org or show him proof that it all bs...... his such a clever independent , successful guy , why on earth would he go back to this , after been out for so many years & change into this domineering , opinionated fool ..... oh and his entire family also went back ... father , mother , brother & sister .

and was overwhelmed by a desire to "return to Jehovah".
