My Brother Can't Even Do Microphone Duty Because He Went To My Kid's Weddin

by minimus in

my mother just told me that my brother was told by his elders that because he attended my daughter's wedding, he was not going to be allowed any privileges, including "handling the microphones".

my elder friend that also went to the wedding told me he was being deleted too.

I need stories of W.T. related suicides/attempts for discussion w/ daughter

by hubert in

my wife and i are having discussions with our bible study daughter lately, and she is getting together at our house with our other daughter who is not involved with j.w.

's, tonight.

she says she wants to see all of us, and have pizza together for supper.

hubert i'm sorry to hear of your struggle and even more so that i don't have any advice. but i am a bit lost on your situation and need a little clarification. did your daughter meet jws and start a study and is intersted in getting bapatised but you and the rest of your family are trying to stop her? is this the gist? if so know that whoever is studying with your daughter is preparing her for attacks "from satan" and when the jw person says that they mean YOU!! so watch out and be careful....the jws will encourage your daughter to rebel against her family.

How to Deal with Shunners Part I. It Is They Who are Afraid

by jst2laws in

shunners, they are afraid.

how to deal with them.

having been df'd about a year ago for apostasy (the sin of thinking for yourself without disengaging your mouth) i have taken advantage of several opportunities to speak to local jw's.

great thread guys!!!

i haven't had any shunning experiences...the only jws that i see are family and other that i knew in the congo but were weak. but i haven't talked to my sister in a few weeks so this thread reminded me that i need to call her.

i'm shelly81 and i'm a newbie!

i've actually been looking around this forum for a few months and finally got a password.

i'm not a witness, but my friend is.

welcome shelly....i wish more non-jws came here b/c people like you are more likely to help a jw than an ex-jw. also you'll find that even though jws believe some weird things it's not their fault. stick around for a while!
