Did I miss my opportunity?

by StillGroggy in

im a long time witness but the last district convention with all of it's "don't think for yourself" propoganda led me to this board.

lately i've been trying to formulate a plan, to try and reason with her and get us both out (although her whole family is in, and probably will be till death)

my wife has at times been dissilussioned with the org, but, ironically, i'm usually the one to comfort her and tell her to wait on jehovah.

I agree w. Serendipity. Prepare yourself well and use the opportunity. Baby steps.

JW attending funerals in Catholic church

just wondering, my jw husband attended a funeral at a catholic church with me, and i thought perhaps this was frowned upon?

have any of you former jw's ever gone to any service in a church before?

it totally shocked me that he went with me.. thanks-.

AuntieJane

Given my experience, let me say to you ww that maybe your husband's eyes were opened a bit

by the love that was no doubt shown at the funeral. I'm glad for you that he went and hope some

little seeds of doubt start growing!

Sorry, but I am really upset over this. My JW nephew, niece and her kids all stood right

beside the door (inside) the Catholic church during their father's funeral (my brother). What

the crap conscience did they follow? Now I realize they actually did have a choice, but

choose to stand like fools and make whatever statement they thought they made. This

is hard to take, 6 years later!

Any "tricks" you'd like to play on a JW or at the KH?

i'd like to put a crisis of conscience book in their library.

AuntieJane

I live one block away from the local KH. Once in awhile I walk my
doggie and she leaves them a treat. Does that count ??

i am so happy for her.

it is only the second birthday we are celebrating.

she is very excited as we are having a party at a local pizza place that she and all her friends hang out at and then invited 10 of her closest friends to go to the arcade afterwards - tokens on me and her father.. i was thinking how less than 3 years ago now my daughter was very depressed and spent most of her time in her room.

AuntieJane

Happy Birthday! WHAT Fun, congrats to you all on your FREEDOM!

stacey is the one who i just recently made contact with again after over 15 years.

we spoke today for a little while and it seems that she had not heard of many of the wts doctrinal changes.

(generation, un, etc.

AuntieJane

WELCOME Stacey; and Congrats to you both for connecting again. What a heartwarming story.

This is what LIFE is all about...too bad the Dubs just don't get it.

Ex-JW caller on the Dr Laura Program

by sandy in

an ex-jw called the dr. laura show today.

i always miss the beginning of the jw callers.

did anyone hear it?

AuntieJane

I missed it. I'm a 'fan' of Dr. L but sometimes she does like you said and speaks over the person, not letting them explain...and in this case she probably has no real clue what the JWs are all about. Too bad for the caller, I do hope that person does post here or gets some real help somewhere!
