  How do you handle JWs interacting with your children?

  by Nosferatu in

  1. social
  2. family

  this has been on my mind lately.

  i'll probably end up having kids in the near future, and i would not want my mother preaching to my children.. so, i must ask, how do you handle your jw relatives who try to preach to your children?

  how do you deal with a "gift" like my book of bs?

  with more than half of the world's population who never saw one jw at their door or ever heard about the jw's, i wonder how they will know that god is jehovah if ever armageddon happens one day?

  2am visit from elders. Car chase!

  by kwintestal in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  to get a break from my jw parents when i was 17 (i'm 25 now) i took an apartment of my own.

  i was working full time and going to school.

  a busy schedule that allowed me to miss meetings without them constantly hounding me.

  favourite games to play as a child during boring meetings

  by Surfacing in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my parents were both very strict, and i wasn't allowed any toys at the hall.

  my rations included a copy of my book of bible stories, and a pen and note pad.

  my parents were strict to the point of not allowing me to draw pictures, i had to "take notes".

  Why Does God Permit Wickedness?

  by undercover in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  how many times did we, as jws, see that question?

  how many times did we read or recite the same ole bs about allowing wicked people to try to rule themselves and failing?

  god's soverienty was brought into question and now he'll give satan and man so many thousand years to give it a try.

  Who counts as a 'Believer'?

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this struck me as new departure in the july 1st watchtower - "questions from readers - " at 2 corinthians 6.14 to whom is paul referring when he uses the term 'unbelievers'?.

  compare this with - .

  *** w89 11/1 p. 19 do not yoke yourselves with unbelievers ***.

  Follow-up to "Chilling Experiance"

  by Carmel in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was taken by talltexan's story about the little girl that died of burns.

  as i responed to him, i've had two such phenomena and feel perfectly at ease with them.

  one is interesting in that it took many years to unfold.

  A question for those recruited as adults

  by kls in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i remember who my husband was before we were recruited,you know what i mean, his humor,his daringness.

  i am sure i changed also but only to an extent because i had to many doughts.

  as i quickley ran from the cult ,i could sit back and see the person that i married into the person that the watchtower created.
