  I think this is an important question...

  when i first met my wife and on that so important first date i was 21 years old and sadly broke, she was an 18 year old au pair.

  any way i treated her to mcdonald's but she had to pay for the meal.

  now over 20 years later and still together, i realize how lucky i was she didn't say on that first date " if you can't afford to pay "our" mcdonald's meal f...off" .

  this site is great, i have been lurking for a while now.

  but i can’t get reinstated and have used some of the advice already given.. i was df’d many months ago and go to all the meetings and do all the preparation for the meetings, but the jc committee keep refusing me.

  tomorrow at the clam meeting i am puting yet another letter in and will be called for another dreadful jc meeting.. 1. what can i say to the elders to show that i am truly repentant?.

  Is this the last chance for inactive and df'd ones?

  hi all, just wondering if there's anything going around about the elders receiving instruction from the society to give inactive ones and disfellowshipped ones one last chance to come back?

  i ask because i have a still in family member that i received a message from, and urging me to go back.

  the elders are apparently saying there is no time left.

  A sucker is born every minute

  by Sour Grapes in

  2. experiences

  i was an elder in the 1970's and i was not a big fan of the "stay alive until 75" dogma.

  i was looked down upon by the heavy hitters on the body of elders and in time i changed my mind.

  i knew of the failed prophecy of 1914 being the end of all times which was repeated for the year 1925...yet i came to believe well maybe this time they've got it right.. with every new watchtower, i combed over every word to find support for my change in my belief that the end was coming in fall of 1975. at the district assembly in 1975, everyone clung onto every word in the final talk.

  i quit the cult in 1971.

  in 75 my wife--and i--deliberately made a baby--born april 76. my committment to the future.

  that baby--a boy--is now 40--happily married again with a lovely son --a great job--property--friends--and a life free of that crazy religion.

  Every time I see one of them loving their kids, I think....

  by jambon1 in

  every time i see photos of new jw parents cuddling up to their new babies.. every time i see people giving the parents new baby cards & gifts.. every time i see them having fun with their children.. i think to myself; 'you would shun your kids' .

  if they don't end up being jw's.

  if they simply publicly declare that they don't believe.

  some may think all this shunning is rare--or at least uncommon.

  consider this--

  i now know very few dubs--having been free of it all well over 40 years.

  however-----

  my pioneer partner from back in the 60's---now shuns his own daughter---to the point of ignoring her in the street

  another--a guy who i was best man to at his jw wedding--and remained close friends for years after----shuns his own daughter--to the point she moved away--from the UK to Australia.

  my first wife--a born in--shuns our older son--now 40---and so hasnt even held his son born last year.

  shunning is a far bigger issue now than the blood business--it affects far more families. it should receive far more publicity.

  Elders Advice Backfired And Now Im The Happiest I've Ever Been

  by pale.emperor in

  just wanted to update you guys of the amazing couple of weeks i've had in recovering from the cult.. i was attending the meetings still just so i could see my daughter in the kingdom hall and have her sit we me half the time.

  i had no intention of ever becoming a jw again but was hoping to be re-instated and just not turn up ever again so i could at least see my family.

  but then an elder said something to me that changed all that.

  pale emperor---have you sorted out access rights to your daughter--also--custody / care and control ?

  for what its worth--i had joint custody of my 3 kids when their mother divorced me. it didnt mean jack shit when they were turned against me in their early teens.

  Explaining JW Beleifs To Non JW's

  by pale.emperor in

  2. experiences

  my new girlfriend asked me over dinner last night what jw's believe.

  as i sat there explaining it i realized how ridiculous it sounds and was slightly embarrassed that i used to believe this crap for 31 years.. try and read this and imagine hearing it for the first time.... me: well... jw believe that god's name is jehovah and that his son is jesus christ.

  they believe that jesus died on a stake and not a cross and that in the year 1914 he personally chosen the jw's as his one true religion.
