"I noticed you are on a JW site, DID YOU KNOW I AM A JW?????"

by Jez in

i was at university the other night in the computer lab, cruising this site, well a fellow classmate who has been in my class since sept and we have become friends, walks past, looks at the site i am on and says, "i noticed you are on a jw site, did you know i am a jw, are you one?".

i was shocked.

i turned to him and let loose,.

hello jez....

i know that feeling of happiness as you said about when you talked to that JW....

i wanted to share a point , hope you will share with him whenever..

"they say russell and rutherford are ded now, they do not follow them now!!!"..will they also do away with 1914 and and among many others 1935 heaven closed date and of course 587v607 BC for jerusalem destruction by same 1 MEN

i also want to share with you a thought about many who claim that you are against JWs..i wish to say that it is not JW you are against , you are basically truely discovering and sharing it with the world that there is nothing different about JW and ANY other religion ...,just one more name ...

love

Need Help any Advice?

by whyamihere in

hi, i am somewhat new here although my feelings about the jw's haven't been.. anyway, i am doing the fade thing right now along with my husband.

everything was going fine i have not gone to a meeting in 5 months now(i think) and prior to that i was barely going i guess you could say every now and then.

however, going every now and, then i was going back and forth with my feelings.

anuva

hi whyiamthere....

i have learned and discovered that truth is much much above what is told to us by WTS, and after spending almost 6 months of study of bible( i was non christian) i know more bible than any JW ...

..please refer to my posts for Jez.. and for schzism "friendship of the world " ...and if you feel that you wish to have more of TRUE Bible and WTS differences, which are hidden by JWs , please PM me ..

hi jez..

you really did a great job confronting a JW....it was really nice to hear . :-)

i wish to contribute a question ..if you ever get any JW to face...."what do they think happened to true worshippers and true christians before 1879 , if they existed back then , why don't without WTs NOw ...?

i guess you understand that this guy ...says himself to be "sword of JAH "

a jAH that was born in early 20th century , i guess even founder russell didn't know about JAH .....

and about the Sword....i guess this little thing only moves in 1 directions ...that is to save its own TAIL from truth ....

thank you all for the welcome.some asked me to tell my story. heres the 411

by ko38 in

my parents became jws in 1973. i was 6.my father was a very abusive person wanting to fight anyone and everyone.of course my mother and moreso myself usualy caught the brunt of his abuse.he whipped me with a belt i believe as hard as he could and did not discrimenate as to where he hit youie in the face legs back you get the picture.. well my mom was thrilled when he agreed to study the bible with these nice people.they taught love and i think that was what appealed most to her.my dad was an obsessive compulsive person so he first argued points in the bible with them,but soon found he was no match for them.so he started taking his studies seriously and read the bible like crazy,i mean 5or6 hours at a time every day.. after a while they were baptised and things got better...................for a while.he then became very demanding with regard to studying for the watchtower all the meetings and personal reading.i could barely read,but most of all he became even less tolerant than before.the beatings continued sometimes worse.my mom had called the elders over no less than 6 times in a 5 year period to report his treatment of her and his beating me.as you may guess the elders did nothing.they sited some scriptures and admonished me to give my father respect.i thoght the elders would help me and make him stop.but they didnt.so i lived life on pins and needles with him going to every meeting studying (well you guys know we studied a lot).until age 16, my father started his fits and i ran away.boy did i go crazy then.worldly people wild parties you name it.to make a long story shorter i was living fot the day because tomorrow i may die.. i was recomended bad association during my absence,i got marrie at age 18 and went back to meetings and wow i was no longer bad association.that marriage lasted 2 years we had a daughter wich we shared custody and a lot of times my mother and father would watch her.

well during that period my father abused her sexually.my ex told me about it.said my daughter told her .well stupid me i didnt believe it and i guess the elders didnt either because they did nothing.. i was never baptised and drifted away again.flash to 1 year ago now married 10 years 3 more children and who knocks on the door you guessed it watchtower toting smily faced jws.well i always believed and carried guilt around all the time.so of course a agree to a study soon i have the whole family studying.the elder i studied with kept telling me i would be an elder soon,i didnt understand then how that could be.i soon realised that was his way of motivating me.well my world crashed down when my 2nd oldest daughter was molested by my father.i never should have trusted him to watch her and i feel enormous guilt.. my father did this while innactive but almost immediately he went back to jws like nothing happened.i wont go into some of the drama between him and myself but bottom line the elders were told and he was reproved he admitted to sexual misconduct and all that happened was restrictions.they said he could never go in field service by himself but he does.he will never be an elder but other than that he is a member in good standing.this stumbled my wife and i greatly.in the interim the elder from our seperate congregation (not my fathers) was in a big rush to have my same 12 year old daughter baptised.well she was at the summer convention.. i later found out that he was up for promotion to circuit ovsr.while a very good teacher you could tell he was all about position.

my wife bought crisis of conscience and slowly had me reading it too.

many thanks to you ...

you know people like you do the greatest task of helping those people who are new learners and are approached by PRETENDING JWS for being duped for life,

it helps immensely , thanks again ..

I go to Court tomorrow for Sole Custody..... I'm excited but scared too!!!!

by formerout in

i am writing this partly to get straight in my mind how i want to present my material tomorrow, since i am representing myself.

but i would also love any advice that you may have to help me (other than get a lawyer.... lol... not an option unfortunately).. my ex-wife and i got separated on april 24, 2003. i spent over $12,500.00 on lawyers just to get to see my kids.

she tried everything in the book to try to prevent me from seeing them, including lying to the police and having me thrown in jail for a night, calling children's aid on me 9 times, (all not substantiated), and most recently by trying to hire someone to beat me up.. we ended up having a settlement conference on june 22, 2004, from which twenty-nine different orders were made, including joint custody with primary residence with her, that my children were ordered to not go to the kingdom hall anymore, access times, support, not moving away, etc.

your fight is representing all good people outside WTBTS, keep the faith , and go ahead

best of luck.

May divine force be with you

I need to pray, but this proves there's no one to pray to.

by SixofNine in

as do a hundred other images kicking my head from falluja and ramadi and cote de ivoire.

what else can you say though, but "jesus christ!"?.

it is truely painful what you have described, but the truth is this that , the face of humanity is alive , and it is due to some caring and compassionate people who mean to learn the pain of others and try their best to lessen it . and i feel you are one of them , proud of yourself . the incident of mentally disorder mother gave sad tears for baby, it was no her fault to be killed this way , yes we have no way but to pray to jesus to give sanity and compassion to all. about fallujah and other places in iraq , i would like to share this thought of mine that it is clearly a man made tragedy in which corporate interests are trying to occupy a country , we all must do everything possible to reject every move that is designed to exploit poor people . may god halp us all to be more humane anuva

We're not Suitable!

by Gill in

my husband and myself used to be witnesses, but not for quite a long while now.

every last member of both our families are witnesses so i guess we're the proverbial black sheep, but we haven't been disfellowshiped or have me disassociated, just drifted quietly away.. my husbands grandfather, who is ninety-seven now, suffered a stroke a year ago.

he spent several months in hospital.

hi gill

myself a newbie on this board..i am one of the bible study as they say ...

i wish to tell you , a new recruit...who is read bible fantasies...is n't even aware of remotest of what is inside ,

its very painful which you are going through, but that is the truth of WTBTs training, as i feel it, and i am thanksful to god he gave me mind discerning enough to know it.

i fell it will really let them know the reality , if their this deed is shared at some PUBLIC worldy forum, something they really care so much to protect "reproach on ORG "

and of course you work on reversing power of attorney

best of luck for your path in future

About my new jw "friend"

by neverthere in

jw
friends

great advice from those of you about my new found chat buddy at my daughter's dancing lesson.

but we were talking last week and my religion came up (for those of you that don't remember i am pagan).

she took it in stride last week but i am wondering how, after a week of meetings etc she will be towards me tomorrow.

anuva

the advice by missy o4 and concerned mama are genuine ....though i feel ......

if you feel like you should try to awaken conscience to that person's future ,you may talk about christianity in general and its great attributes (if you are a non JW christian ) , but with a caution , that you must take leads to talk to her by using some of her own literatures ...(of wtbts )...

World War 1 and 1914

by Schizm in

.

how did it just so happen that a world war took place in the very year that russell had attached so much importance to?

i realize that he expected 1914 to see the end of the world's governments, and of course that didn't happen, but it still seems to be quite remarkable that this war happened that very year ... a war that would later be construed to be the fulfillment of jesus' prediction in matthew 24:7.. the explanation given on the e-watchman site is that satan deliberately caused the war to happen so as to mislead jehovah's witnesses into thinking they had actually seen the fulfillment of bible prophecy, in order to make them think that jesus had returned invisably.. any ideas?.

i am waiting at friendship of the world , and of course world war 1 and 2 both
