Tomorrow we are off to France for the Turkey Holiday. Only a week this time. The family has planned a big dinner on Sunday with almost all the family. Only one will be missing while the other twenty something will be drinking a lot of wine. Cous Cous will be served with the wine...

Take care and see you all in about a week.

What Are "Sins" That Are Unique To A Jehovah's Witness???

by minimus in

here's one to start the ball rolling.

if you are not feeling well, have a headache, a backache, whatever but you would go to work but didn't go to a meeting or in "field service"---then you "sinned" against jehovah.....any others?

Bryan

I was once put on public reproof because I couldn't prove I had a brain injury. Oh yeah... the fact that my wife at the time said, "I can't take his problems anymore", didn't count. Neither did the x-rays showing my swollen brain.

I suppose I was sinning... I was punished!

i just got dfed last night.

i want to thank you all in advance for helping me through this.

i wanted to fade but my wife insisted that i wasn't gonna dfed.

Bryan

Welcome to the first day of your real life!

they told me i wasn't gonna see my father in the new system. they said he'll be looking for me and i won't be there. arrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

These people never cease to amaze me. If you were fading, I doubt they saw too much of you. What if you were in a bad place emotionaly and their comment about your father pushed you over the edge to attemp suicide. These people have no clue!

If the gun wielding man enjoys the range, and felt threatened by both the man AND woman, he could have squeezed off 4 rounds in 2 to 3 seconds. She didn't necessarily need to continue the attack; if that's what happened.

Poor kid.

The Day Jehovah's Witnesses in Riverside California Blinked

by Dogpatch in

the day jehovah's witnesses in riverside california blinked

on fairly short notice silentlambs sent out an advisory to the public that jehovah's witnesses were once again going to court to speak as character witnesses for a convicted pedophile.

earlier in the week on monday a large group of jehovah's witnesses had made known their intention to come to court as they had for the last two years to publicly support and offer character statements for a man convicted on several counts of molesting his daughters.

Wonderful to hear Randy, and thanks to all those who attended with little lambs.

I'm new and need advice

by lucky in

hello everyone.. i am new to this board (although i have "lurked" on and off for the past few years and feel that i know many of you .

i will give a brief bit of background and then ask for some advice.

my mom was baptized when i was very young and i was raised in the truth, along with my siblings.

Bryan

candid,

You are going through what many, many people on this board have already experienced. I too, just moved out of town and quit about 10 years ago. To my knowledge there has been no announcement, nor am I dissfellowshipped. This was the second time I left though. Took two tries.

All I can tell you is, when I was able to say, "This is my life and no one elses", I was able to emotionaly move on. It took the realization, understanding that I could live a wonderful, peacefull life, without people whom judge me and love me only conditionally.

Currently, I have many distant relatives who will not speak to me, along with my father and step-mother. I have no friends from my JW past. And the hardest was this past summer when my 19 year old daughter told me she was getting married and never to call her again.

After all this shunning though, I can tell you, I was never as happy in the bOrg as I am today. I would imagin that sooner or later it will be discovered that you have left the organization. Ask youself, is it better to just get on with it now, so I can heal sooner? Or would you rather continue to bear the stress of pretending, only to be discovered a non-witness later on?

What ever you decide, I'm sure you will always find support here.

Best regards,

Bryan
