JWs and breastfeeding past infancy
by rebel8 inmy jw mother breastfed my sibs so long they remember it.
one she stopped feeding when she went to kingergarten; i kid you not.
my mother justified it by saying moses' mother breastfed him until whatever age and the bible encourages it.

I remember feeding my baby on a park bench and an old lady came up and asked how old he was etc then after a few minutes she realized I was feeding, she apologized (no need) Then patted me on the head and said how lovely it was to see and that it had made her day. She was really happy
As a new mum I was greatly encouraged by this, and I always smile a a mum who feeds in public

When I came here I was completely IN the truth. I came on this site every day, I could just relate to everyone even though most are ex JWs. It had the "ring" of truth for me and there was no going back. I started to research everything. That was over a year, and ive not been to a meeting in a year. Its been very painful, stressful but has worked out well.
This is a very straight forward board but also very friendly and kind I think most ppl would feel at home here, I did straight away.
Direct her to the "best of" section and let her read the information at her own pace.

I think breastfeeding is more popular than it was 20 years ago. I think its great to see mums breastfeeding, why should they hide. You can feed them without anything "showing". I remember a big fuss when a woman was breastfeeding in a cafe and someone complained. thats crazy. Its common place where I live to see mums feeding in cafes and restaurants, id be more put off my food, by someone who had no table manners, but you cant complain about that !

Ray Franz Wife
by TheListener ini can't thank ray franz enough for what he wrote and how he has affected people for the better.
while reading his books and seeing threads about him i have always wondered how his wife reacted when he started telling her about his doubts and trouble with the society.
how did she react when she had to leave bethel with him?

Although I dont recall Rays wife being mentioned, I get the feeling she backs him up. Im sure it was mentioned somewhere that "they" have a group of ppl round for fellowship and to study the bible

Speaking of music,,,,,what "nerdy" singer do you secretly adore?
by LyinEyes ini didnt know what other word to use but nerdy,, but you will get the picture when i tell you a couple of my favorites.
or maybe they are not so much "nerdy" as they are just off the beaten path singers,,maybe even a bit odd.
barry mannilow,.

I would love to thank him. I wonder if he ever comes on this site, we could dedicate a thankyou thread to him.
It would make me feel better knowing that he knows how grateful I am to him.
Sometimes I feel Ive recieved a precious gift and havent said thankyou.

No Discussion forum, chat or email when you google to WatchTower.org, so...
by sf in...the seeker/ searcher goes on to the next search hit which is this site.
what does www.watchtower.org expect for the googler to do if he does indeed go to the official site.

sf. Thats what happened to me. I was just learning how to use a computer last year and googled JWS. The official site was so boring, that the next one I clicked onto was this site. The rest is history
The trouble is when I was a dub I knew NOTHING of the scandles or false doctrines, so it came as quite a shock. The WT are full of ambiquous warnings about lies and half truths, they never actually say whats been said, and what there rebuffles are. Sometimes I used to sit there wondereing what on earth the WT was going on about.
