  Blog in honour of my Stepmom

  by jgnat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  myrna, my beloved stepmom, was diagnosed with breast cancer early this year.

  in typical fashion, she let us all know what was happening in her life, informed herself of the options, and calmly determined her course of treatment.

  it was a very small lump, and it looks like all of it was removed.

  Seeking Jesus

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for some of us who leave the b.org, we realize that the society wasn't telling us the truth about who jesus is.

  that's in a sense okay, since jesus' own disciples didn't really know either -- when he asked them, they gave all sorts of different answers.

  i don't think the bible gives a single answer as well.

  WT quoting things

  by badboy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i notice that the wt does a lot of quoting from various sources eg.

  for their creation/ecolution and their magazines.. do they ever check whether their sources of information are reliable?.

  what does all this quoting `prove', when i can do selective quoting that `proves' fairies exist, give me various books about fairies and i could cut and paste to `prove' fairies exist

  after much deliberation, i decided to go "out" at the end of a public talk.

  it didn't go down too well, but at least i was able to give some of my reasons for leaving.. i've put some of the details on my homepage.

  i'll update it more when i get the time and the strength.

  depression and why JW's don't reconize it

  by nogs in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  well as you know unless you are an elders son or daughter generally jw's don't lift a finger to help all those ones feeling downtrodden and lonely.

  i felt like this from july 1994 to march 2000. i prayed to jehovah constantly for help to ease the loneliness, i begged the elders and even others.

  for a long time the only ones who would talk to me where the elderly ones(who i miss now since i left) i cried every night and felt after five years of being at meetings and feeling invisable (even though i was an auxillary pioneer) i decided that my life was worth fighting for.
