I remember once while handling the phone and desk of the factory one weekend a sister wanted an elder DF for steping on her cat's tail at the book study. I told her I would.

A Week Later; I'm Still Confused.......
by Sentinel inwell, it's been one week since mom called to tell me that she is reverting back to a previous behavior from 1981, called "hard line shunning".
this is after some ten years now, of having communication with me in a restrictive manner.
(well, as "normal" as it could be for us anyway.

Just think! There are thousands of situations just like yours. Mine is no different. You must get on with your life. But not a life of leaving your family!!! You should try to fly under the WTBS radar by pretending to be interested in the "truth" for no other reason than to rescue your mother from the spritual hostage condition that the WTBS has setup. Go to a meeting, ask questions (leading question) to your mother, maybe one will get her thinking. Leave notes in her literature ref. contridictions from past articles. News articles about pedofilies, UN etc. Your life should focus on rescue of your mother!!!!!!!!

growing up scared of Armageddon
by bittersweet ini was just curious if any of you growing up in the truth were overly scared of armageddon?.
when my mom came into the org.
in the 70's,the only so called kids book was the paradise lost book.the pictures in that book scared the pants off me!at night when i was lying in bed,if i would hear a loud plane go over head,or there was a thunder storm,i was sure it was the start of armageddon and i would be sooooo scared.i was wondering if i was the only one overly scared,or if their were others.. also,was anyone out there extremely frightened of the demons?i would hear all these crazy experiences of people having problems with demons,and i was sooo frightened they would come bother me.maybe i was just a big old scaredycat,but if any one else has any experiences,please post them!

by ozziepost inthanks to dmouse for providing the scan of the september km article: .
let's look at each paragraph.
paragraph #1: somehow the topic of e-mails is linked to "valueless things" and "unrestricted use" (whatever that is).

I may get a visit from the P.O. :(
by crownboy ini think i may have a potential problem on my hand.
over the last year or so, i've been attempting to go the slow fade route with the jw religion.
for the most part i've succeded, as my significant decrease in jw related activities has been greeted only by brief "pep talks" by my parents at worse.

Here's one for the record book: I had the same problem many years ago. So I took there advice and went out in service with one of them, but with a suprise. I did not bathe for three days and stunk to high heaven, so I show up for service and asked who could I ride with. Needless to say it was a very short field service day! Everyone thought of excusses to go on return visits in their own car. The next week I went to the Sunday talk, but before I went to the meeting I ate lots of carb's and sugar! I sat on the front row and farted loud all through the meeting. Do these things three times in a row and call me in the moring.

JW Family, How Do They Drive You Up The Wall?
by Celtic inmany of us still have jw family still very much held within the congregation.
personally, i love my family but they do have this uncanny ability at times to absolutely drive me nuts in sheer exasperation.
the things particularly that really gets my goat are the following: .

I couldn't agree more! Remember, it is better to stay quite when the JW's take to their high horse and holier than tho attitude. Let them hang themselves with their own words. Keep in mind that they live in a different world than we do. As a light of hope, maybe one day one thing that you say will stir their interest and start the deprograming process. This is what keeps me going and not freaking out.
