  A Family Divided....Again

  by BeautifulMind in

  2. experiences

  good morning everyone.

  well, just as our family was finally all out of the org., getting back to being the family we once were, one of my family members recently went back in.

  i won't give many details that will give away my identity.

  I have known some to get reinstated to drop into the "inactive" state, being able to associate with jw family. I remember a poster on JWN who did that.

  
  

  i seriously considered going back--about 25 years ago--even to the point of a phone conversation with a local elder . my motive was to try and rebuild some contact with my kids. their mother was a fanatic jw and had successfully turned them against me.

  
  

  but a chat with my jw dad hit the nail on the head--he said i would only go back to it if i really loved jehovah. that did it--i reminded my dad i never believed in god---in fact the very thought of having to pretend i did made me feel ill.

  Watchtower and Brexit

  by jwleaks in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so britain is leaving the european union (eu).. the governing body of jehovah's witnesses have over the past year moved the majority of its european activities to the control of watchtower britain and the ibsa primarily because of britain's membership with the eu.. further, the incorporated pseudo-political lobby group, european association of jehovah's christisn witnesses, based in brussels, is administered by watchtower britain and its officers.

  .

  expect major changes in the structure of watchtower..

  Not if Scotland goes to another referendum and decides to leaves the UK so as to remain part of the EU.

  
  

  well--if there is another referendum about Scotlands future--maybe the rest of the UK will get a say in the matter--unlike last time.

  No! No! No! This can't be true? brexit? No!

  it seems britain has voted to leave the eu in a move of total madness!

  the markets are already in free fall and the moronic bigots who campaigned for this are celebrating the demise of our country .. i can't see how a 49-51% split can be democratic?

  there is still the postal vote to come in, maybe there's hope in that?

  so it has been a couple of months since me and my family have attended a meeting.

  we have received a few calls and visits.

  but what do you say when people ask "where have you been"?

  I knew Drage Ellis and Vigo back in the late 60s.

  What a waste of talented lives. I wonder what they really think now..if they aren't demented by now.

  Who are the "Inactive"?

  by thereishope in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this was my starting point in this journey of rediscovery, and i've made great strides, but here i am again asking the same question.

  all this talk re the rc and the shunning of the inactive ones.

  there is no announcement made obviously about "shun sister so-and-so, as she is inactive.

  Welcome y'all from JWR - any questions?

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  i just wanted to take a minute to say "hi" and welcome to the site for anyone who's come here from jwr.

  i can imagine the site being shut down suddenly was shocking and unsettling for many who relied on it and sometimes you don't realize how much you do rely on something until it is gone.. hopefully you'll see some of the same familiar names appearing and be able to reconnect with people you knew via this site and continue your journey together.

  i don't know what the posting policies on jwr were but know it as a moderated site so can't imagine them being hugely different to the ones here.

  i underwent an operation a few weeks ago--i was fully aware it carried a degree of risk. as i went under the general anaesthetic--i wondered what would be the other end--lol. the next instant i woke up...but it was 3 hours later.

  so far--so good.

  by invite only!.

  my jw spy tells me that this is in st paul's road, peterborough.. as far as i can tell, he tells me some corporation bully boy is coming over from bethel.

  so, the local jws have been tasked to clean it so it's fit for this visiting dignitary.. of course there are only a certain amount of invites available and nepotism rules.
