  BOE letter defining apostacy

  by scotsman in

  1. jw

  .

  i'm looking for the boe letter that defines apostacy as 'standing away' and means individuals can be dfed even if they're not spreading their opinion.

  i'm sure i saw it recently on here in pdf format, but i can't find it.

  Yes, this is the letter, yet where was it scanned from?:

  I recently scanned the letter from Ray Franz's book Crisis of Conscience and then posted it in the contents of one of my threads. I can't say whether it was copied and pasted from that thread, but because of the font colors, it appears to be.

  Do You Still Think & Act Like A Witness??

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the criticisms i see on this board, especially if one points out a similarity between jws and jwd or other similar discussion boards, is that a person is still seeing things in the eye of a jehovah's witness.

  what's your take on that?

  ?

  The important thing I have learned in recent weeks is that if you want to beat a JW, you have to start thinking like a JW. In other words, you have to consider what you would do in this situation if you were the JW fighting it out in court with an ex-JW. It is the only thing that will save your azz when it comes to custody battles. JW's lie so much that you must stay ahead of the game and anticipate what they are liable to say and do.

  Otherwise, I think I have lost much of my JW-ness these days.

  Do You Need Praise From Others To Feel Validated?

  is that what makes you feel good about yourself?

  can you take criticism without taking it personal?

  This is an interesting question.

  I find it very difficult to accept praise for doing something I know I should be doing anyway. It's a conscience thing I suppose.

  I appreciate it when others support my viewpoint and accept it when they don't.

  The praise is not the turn on for me, it's seeing positive results from my actions that gives me all the validation I need.

  Just want everyone to know that I am doing OK. Those of you who have expressed concern that you have not heard from me in a while, well, thanks, but it hasn?t been that long. My last update was either yesterday or Thursday.

  I feel terribly overwhelmed at present. It is a nightmare but there is lots of hope, and so far, things are going in the right direction for the kids.

  Right now, I am typing up some information to give to the court appointed attorney acting in behalf of my children. Again, he is the guy that the judge uses for really tough cases and this is one of them. The attorney will be interviewing everyone from CPS workers to doctors, from therapists to all the family members to get to the bottom of this matter. The hearing is set for two weeks from now. In the meantime, the judge has ordered that Sara make absolutely NO CONTACT with our children.

  This NO CONTACT thing was rough on Nancy when she first learned of it, but there was no other choice. Things cannot continue as they were and I think deep down, Nancy knows this. She simply does not want anything bad to happen to her mom, and she would feel responsible if it did. Meanwhile, Nancy is learning skills and tools for dealing with life and her family and we are looking forward to a fresh start with her.

  This situation has brought me to the conclusion that I must become an advocate for the rights of abused JW children. I must keep doing something for the other children still going through it even after my own children are safe and on their way to a better life. I am already considering the direction I will go and it seems to be the right course at this point. Watching my kids go through this has brought back so many of my own childhood memories I had pushed down for so long and I shudder sometimes.

  I?ve been jolted awake; I mean really awake.

  To all the rest who have come out of the nightmare that is the WTBTS, thank you for your love and support.

  Best Regards,

  Corvin

  Quotes, how about a disclaimer stating:
  
  This video is very powerful and delivers a strong message; it is entirely WT images and the the VO is from that Sunukto's 1975 talk; so it does qualify as a quote. This video in no way compromises my nuetral point of view.

  Mind if we show that off over at LambsRoar?

  Not at all. Be my guest. Making it was good therapy for me; if it will help others in some way, it's all yours.
