  this topic is the kind that one could write and read about forever.

  however, i don't think i'll be able to last that long.. my son is 38 years old.

  he is intelligent and , i believe, very sensitive.

  Thanks to all for your input.

  My x-wife raised the kids in an enviornment where she believed " the end" was right around the corner. I can't even imagine what it must have been like for my kids ( and all others around the world ) to think that each day on earth may be their last.That has got to be the worst kind of abuse and I know many of you here have gone through that terrible nightmare. My son is a very nice guy and I'm not saying that 'cause I'm his Dad.( at least I don't think I am ) Although, Vernon, he could very well have a side to him of which I'm not aware . . and yes, like I said, he has been somewhat standoffish with me.

  I believe my kids are 100% into the JW mindset. I have always been left out of their lives and I know that is exactly how the ruling bosses want it. It eats at me every day and has for the last 30 years. Don't get me wrong, I moved on a long, long time ago but you and I know that it's never "over". And now come my grandchildren; thoroughly incapsulated with JW dogma.

  However, I will never give up. Can you hear me , you Brooklyn Bastards?

  This topic is the kind that one could write and read about forever. However, I don't think I'll be able to last that long.

  My son is 38 years old. He is intelligent and , I believe, very sensitive. We have been separated since his mother and I divorced in "75. I do see him about once or twice every 2nd year or so. Somehow I always knew that his Mother was going to make him into the quintetsence of a Jehovah's Witness. ( at least that is how I view him ) He seems to have become a man that represents everything that is perfect . . .almost too perfect.He has recently moved into a half-million dollar home and has two vehicles ( one an SUV ). Has his own business, wife and two kids.

  And its all this STUFF that I don't understand ! I always thought a Christian was to live simply. Please don't get me wrong . . I'm very happy for him, it's just that I don't understand it. Are JW's supposed to live like this? Is it ok with their bosses? Do their bosses live like this?

  Another thing, his love/ fondness for me has begun to show signs of condescension. This has completely overwhelmed me. He didn't used to be that way. I wrote and self-published a book titled " In The Truth" and gave one to my JW daughter and one to my son. ( critical of JW's )My son scanned the book and then e-mailed me his thoughts on it, without reading it. I feel that whatever has happened to my son has come from a higher source that just the local Hall ( he has lived in Detroit and Chicago before moving to Ohio where he now maintains his office, however he travels to Chicago regularly ) I can't help but feel that someone or something is having such an extraordinary effect on him that he is blind to everything outside JWs.( except making money ). These are more than just " feelings" for he has said some things that prove him to be this way.

  Is this the way JW's become as they become older, more settled,more affluent?

  the november the 1st watchtower is demanding money from the r and f and in no uncertain terms makes it clear that no matter how poor they are they should be giving their money to one of the richest companys in brooklyn, the watchtower bible and tract society!!.

  I'm with soze . . If Manuel wasn't so disgustingly selfish he would have not only given the pig to the Society he would have pledged all the money he would earn for the next ten years or so to the Witnesses. Mexican kids , especially those in the country, have so much and they don't really have to do anything for it. Well, at least the local JW hall will set him straight.

  Are there any known JW doctors?

  by 4mylove in

  2. beliefs

  i think there is one at my hospital because of what a coworker said one time in reference to blood doctrine.

  i can't imagine them going into medicine with all the time it requires, between school, residency, etc.

  just wondering

  (Tongue in cheek) Startup planning for a new religion

  by journey-on in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have decided to start a new religion based on my interpretation of various spiritual disciplines.

  ive been reading, studying, and praying, and i feel the cosmos has answered my prayers and is guiding and directing a new way toward spiritual fulfillment through me.. i have begun to teach my beliefs to various and sundry people who are also seeking a new religious and/or spiritual direction.

  we get together and discuss my take on "religious" matters and i am beginning to find myself to be a very charismatic teacher and preacher.

  I'm ready to join, but I don't want to start off as a layman. I've had 6 mos of lituature training and I feel I'm ripe and ready for the calling. I feel my background should seat me somewhere toward the top of the organization.Everything you have said makes perfect sense to me and I am indeed one of your chosen disciples.I even feel it in my bones . . .well one anyway, for the thought of controlling many allows me such a sense of purpose that I cannot fight the tingling that's working its way up my virgin loins.Agasp! There it is, the fountain that erupts, even though secured in my trousers; the creamy rabbitt that jumps out of the hole only to splash against the pants handed down to me by my brother. Oh, what will mother say on washday?! But, I digress.Take me with you dear brother( or sister) my soul is yours. My labor for you to do as you please.Just keep me abreast of the latest visions that you see, that is all I ask, and I will be yours forever.

  ( Can we once again go over that part where we will be controlling many? )

  Why do we race

  by John Doe in

  when the end holds less than the beginning?

  we wantonly murder seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries, millenniums, generations, and lives, yet we continue running.

  we fear stopping.

  I haven't got Space figured out yet but I do Time.

  Step 1 : One must clear their mind of as much thought as possible.

  Step 2 : Now try to think of a holiday that you truly enjoy and look forward to. This holiday should be at least one month away. Now concentrate as hard as you can on this holiday and it's associated great times. Tell yourself you wish the holiday were tomorrow and think about it all day. Repeat this excercise daily until the holiday arrives. Toward the end of the excercise will notice how remarkably long it took the holiday to arrive.

  You have slowed down Time because it was on your mind all the time; your perception of it anyway ,which really is just as good. ( like the old saying, a watched pot never boils) Since Time is one of those very personal things, we might be able to train our minds to slow down everything around us.

  Remember, perception is reality.( And if you want someting to happen quickly just do the opposite.)

  Does love bombing occur in other ways . . .like when non-Witnesses visit Witness relatives?

  Are Wit-kids told by their Wit-parents to show this emotion to their non-wit grandparents ?
