Has anyone else recently been contacted by a once close JW friend or relative? Could this be a new JW tactic?

by Latte in

hmmmm...yesterday my long life friend called my landline after many years of silence.

now the shock has subsided, i am wondering if i can forgive and forget the fact she chose not to keep in touch throughout a time in my life which was very stressful.

sadly, i gathered that she is still involved with jehovah’s witness faith.

no former friends or cult family members have tried to contact me.

somehow i dont think they want me back.

Chapter 13 New Boy 50 years a Watchtower slave

by new boy in

jw
friends

chapter 13. they get my heart, soul and my body.

saturday morning i was up at 6:30. it was fun trying to share small bathroom with seven other guys, all trying to get ready in 20 minutes.

i threw some cloths on and headed to first “morning worship.” gilbert said i could sit on his table since there was an extra space there.

Do you feel comfortable being an apostate?

by Chook in

i always found it uncomfortable to informal witness to people but trying to convince a jw to jump ship brings much more pleasure..

apostate is just a word used by the watchtower--its how the dub club may view you. means nothing in the real world.

2017 Convention Recording: JWs Applaud 10yo Girl For Shunning Her Own Sister

by pale.emperor in

this poor girl was baptized at 9yo.

.

she isnt old enough to buy alcohol, to vote, to decide her own medical treatment, to buy a pet, to travel alone... yet she was deemed old enough to dedicate her life to a religion that will cut her off from her family if she ever leaves.. here she is applauded for shunning her own sister who tried to keep in contact with her after waking up.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yzgnfda8ki.

How appealing is this?

by Half banana in

would you join a religion which says everyone who is not a member will be killed by god?.

would you join a religion which you know that statistically if you stay in it long enough, there is a high chance that it will split your family apart?.

would you join a religion which demands that you preach to your neighbours that they are soon going to die if they don’t believe your message?.

stan livedeath

most new members joining the cult are miserable wretches in appalling third world countries. who wouldnt find life on a paradise earth appealing ? almost as good as a passport out of wherever they are.

those that join in the western world are usually a slice short of a full loaf.

A Short Life Story - Part 4 (Finale)

by pale.emperor in

a continuation from part 3, which is here: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4807117397557248/short-life-story-part-3#!#4918071166763008.

my wife had settled into a routine of waking up at 6am each day, cleaning (so no chance of a lie in for me or our daughter with the vacuum cleaner going), eating very little, picking the skin off her lips while she sits there in a trance obsessing over things that are out of our control and dont matter anyway.

she never did return to work.

glad to read you got your leg over. always a great self confidence boost.
