It was rude of your ex to not inform you he'd be out of the country! I wouldn't leave her there again if he won't be home. And the grandfather is a jerk.

Holly,

I hope you'll stick around as I've enjoyed your posts greatly! You will be warned not to, though. But you're loved here!

Like you, I've studied w/jw's, and I grew up attending various other churches...catholic, methodist, a.m.e., brethryn, and menonite. I got interested in jw's because of the bible. Later, once I used my own thinking in the more in depth bible studies, I realized that jw's didn't have it all right, either. I can't in my heart worship god when not everything I'm told to go by is correct. Especially a religion that claims to be of jehovah...which made me even question that claim. There is no proof. New light..does this mean a group's bible interpretation? If so, then this applies to all christians' interpretations, not just jw's....another point-saying who is a true christian or not is not up to men in brooklyn or any kh. It's up to god so why try to step up and judge others?

At least other religions TRY to practice love. GOD IS LOVE. Basic to me. JW TRY hard to practice hate, foster hate, roll in it and stink of it. They rub their hands in glee over the 'impending' Armageddon where billions will be..yippeeeeee..killed by God! Bye bye to evil men, women, children, babies, etc. Because that, despite their attempt at their current attempt at political correctness, is what they really believe. All Non-JW's are going to be murdered by God.

Your post is right on point, Jez. This is how the control can factor in and take over one's thinking and life. So much time is preached and spent on doing what we're told will make god happy instead of just thinking things through, looking at yourself from the outside, and acting out of love rather than what you're programmed (yes, it is what is is) to do. Hate of this, hate of that...next thing you know, you're isolated from anyone non-jw by your own choice.

Crisis of Conscience is an excellent read.

May peace be in your heart completely no matter what path you choose, Holly.

The Mission

by Billygoat in

a catholic priest was about to leave his mission in the jungles where he has spent years teaching the natives when he realizes that the one thing he never taught them was how to speak english, so he takes the chief for a walk in the forest.

he points to a tree and says to the chief, "this is a tree.

" the chief looks at the tree and grunts, "tree.
