too big of an age difference. she is only 18, if you are 25 as you say. young girls tend to fall hard and fast when they least expect to. they claim no feelings, but let me tell you...as soon as you bring another female into the house, a significant other, the girl may get jealous unvisibly, and the hostilities will begin. It's a tough call, but you have to do what you think is right. I just hope you can deal with any reprocussions.
My regards and good wishes,

I started my investigation about a year after I stopped going. I originally stopped going at age 16, because I didn't like the way I was being treated by the people in my congregation. I told my mother that I would rather hang out with the friends I had from school would tell me to my face if they didn't like me than to smile and do a happy dance in my face, and then trash me behind my back the way the witnesses do. Then, my mother kept pressuring me to go back, and I thought about it a lot bcuz life was getting tough, and I thought that maybe Jehovah was trying to show me that I should go back. I went to a dinner with my mother over a family member's house, who is born again christian. My mother went over there because she was convinced that eventually she would turn them to Jehovah. (a born again? yeah, right.) Anyway, there was a man there who was a deacon in my cousin's church...they all started talking about the bible, and I was in the other room, because I hate when my mother starts talking...she gets loud, and misquotes and it is just embarrasing. But, I was listening in, and I heard them talking about some subject in which they were all wrong. I felt compelled to go out there and explain the subject and scripture to them. The deacon guy was very impressed with my extensive knowledge of the bible, at such a young age. (you don't really do much else as a Jdub kid) We then began a discussion, and he told me some things that were hard to swallow as truth, because of what I had ingrained in my head for so many years. But I did what he said, and for the first time, I actually wanted to read the bible. I couldn't put it down. With every book, I was finding missquotes and incorrect interpretations by the JW's. I investigated quite a lot of thier doctrines, which are false, and then I wrote a letter DA'ng myself, because "I didn;t think that I should belong to a organization who held beliefs that I was not certain are true". And the rest is history.

The WTs Biggest Deceptions
by individual ini was just wondering what do the members of this board think the biggest deception in the teaching of the watchtower society is?.
one of the biggest deceptions for me, one that stuck like a thorn in my side was their deception on earthquakes, hence my previous thread on the last days.
the wts, as i recall, published supposed proof of the increase in earthquakes since 1914. i was so angry when i found out that this was an outright lie.

I would have to say that the two biggest deceptions for me were 1) the global preaching work thing, and 2) the increase of lawlessness. I was constantly told that Jehovahs Witnesses were the only ones doing the preaching work, and I was reminded that this was a command from Jesus in Matthew whatever the hell the scripture is. I was told that I would be made fun of from my peers and other people and that we would be asked to leave certain places where we preached, and these were all signs that we were doing God's will. And because all the school kids made fun of me, and we were in fact asked to leave some private places, I believed this was the truth...when I was 10 yrs old!!! I also had it drilled into my head that the increase of lawlessness was more rampant than ever before. I was told that because of this, I could not go out and play with other kids because I might get kidnapped or something, and my mom would only show me the parts of the news that discussed a missing or murdered child, so I believed this was a sign of the end. The thought of increase of earthquakes and famine were too scary even to think about!!! (Those pictures of people with ribs showing really are gross!!!) I was so afraid of famine, that I would eat food that I hated, because my mom told me that I might not have more food tomarrow, and that I would go hungary!!! It is horrible the way these parents scar children's minds! That's my story.

This is what I call reverse psychology with a twist of circular logic. They say things, twist them around, and make it appear as if the believer has some leeway of freedom, thus convincing them this must be the truth, and there they stay, stuck on this lie treadmill. It is really sad.

From the files by request: JWs & 'discipline'

I am ABSOLUTELY SICKENED!!!!! But I am also reminded of how I was smacked at the meeting repeatedly for talking to someone next to me, or sleeping or drawing, or having to go to the bathroom more than once. And it wasn't always my mother who did this. My mother sometimes allowed the woman who studied with before she was baptized take me outside and pretty much beat me. Not one smack or two, but like 10 or 15. That;s all I have to say. BBBAAAARRRRRFFFFFFF!

I think they all look like they are on PCP or LSD. I used to think as a child that they couldn't be real people because real people don't smile like that.

Nothing positive to offer!
by cornish inthe biggest objection that most current borg members have to leaving is that even though there may be false and wrongs in their religion there is nothing better or nothing else which is positive that anyone else or anything else has to offer.
it seems that truth is not the primary criteria of most j w s even though they use the word truth in a completely habitual way, but they will not be shifted from a nice cosy illusion true or false, so how would you answer the objection that there is nothing positive to offer outside the watchtower?
how would you answer this in a direct and forthright way ?

Well, this is a tough one. I agree with Hippikon, but most people don't like reality. There is a saying that drugs are a crutch for people who can't handle reality. Religion is the same. The people who use that excuse for not leaving are the kind that need social acceptance, etc, etc. All I can suggest is that they attend other church groups, and see what they're like. I myself struggled with this for a long time, sometimes I wanted to go back. But then I just realized that we are already living in hell, and there is nothing you can do about it except for make the best of it, and do what you feel is right. In the words of two great men, Tryone and Puma, "Hakuna Matata".

Hawkaw,
I know your pain from an up close and personal standpoint. My mother is a JW, and she is mentally handicapped. She was sucked in around the late 70's, but never got baptized until the early 90's. I feel that they prey upon people in a state of lowered mentally capability, because they know that they won't question what they say. It makes me sick as well...I have tried many times, to show my mother proof that they are wrong, but she just won't listen...she's brainwashed. I think I need to use the barf bag now too.
My Regards,

Richard Scarry's Best Field Service Story--EVER
by LDH inok so pardon me for the take off on richard scarry--he really is one of my favorite all time children's authors.. but i had to share this field service story with you--it's the gospel truth!
hopefully, you can add some of yours.. while pioneering in upstate ny, my sister and i had frequent occasions to work in service with a married pioneer couple.
yes, they were window washers, but that's not the real story here.. they had a return visit on an elderly gentleman who was kind enough to take the magazines every once in a while.

My story isn't super funny, but i'll let ya'll decide.
One Saturday, I went with my mother to this bible study of hers. THe lady's name was Catherine, same as my mother, and she was quite old, probably in her late 70's. She seemed a little on the senile side I remember, but my mom is mentally disabled, and senile a bit too, so they worked well together. Anyway, I was sitting in one corner of the room, while my mother was sitting in a chair. The woman got up to get my mother a drink, and I noticed something white on the back of her pants, almost like a post-it note, but I really couldn't tell because the lighting was very bad. When the woman came back from the kitchen, she walked over towards my mother, and I got a real good look at the white thing. Turns out the white thing, was a sanitary napkin. Apparently the woman forgot how to apply them, and put it on the outside of her pants!!!! I'll never forget that one. My mother wanted to tell her, but couldn't bare to embarras her. There was another sister there that day, and the other sister told her while we were all standing outside. Two neighbors looked outside because they heard what the loudmouth said. The woman turned so red, excused herself and ran into the house. She died a week later!!!!
