i am a fortunate 'apostate'.
my parents are still speaking to me, regularly, and we also have been discussing jw doctrine.
however, they do not believe anything i tell them about the un scandal and that the wtbts was a member of the un for ten years before being removed by the un.
Thanks Angharad and GermanXJW!
I've just read through and printed the info from these sites.
I will be getting in touch with both the Guardian and the UN still, though I expect the UN letter reply, if I get one may be the same as the one on their web site.
Thanks again!
Gill

may be the inevitable happened , my girlfrind surgically cut me down to ..nothing, by saying , jehovahs witness can never do a thing against bible and god, .
i am gettting ....information from wrong sources.......and she reduced to ashes 2 years to deep love and affection , by saying ....i am worldly ...i am against god and bad..... i am sorry jgnat i choose to be overoptimistic when u told me about that meaning of ..poem ...."amends" and hard hitting stuff about 'apostates' during christmas time.. i still beleive that there is some life leftin me to try ..may be she comes to sense..she may understand... a girl so kind and loving ..... rejected by mother ....and abused sexually by father ....taken as maid by grandmother as maid.....preyed upon by jw love bombing...during her troubled teen years ..... i thought my selfless love will win her from chains....but i have almost thrown out .... may i request from some women who may if they like to help me can write to her email , cause maybe hearing from a former jw may help her realize the truth....that i was not lying..... please pm me ..i need help for sake of truth.. anuva- sad and down ....but still trying to work up ..
It is sometimes the case, not always, but sometimes the case that a person who protests TOO much about something and appears to stick to something, such as a belief, like glue, 'me thinks he doth protest TOO much', and really has strong doubts in their subconscious. Only time is going to tell with this.
If you can show her unconditional love you may find that in time, she will come round to your way of thinking.
When my husband told me he wanted NOTHING more to do with 'the truth' I insisited that I still wanted to go to meetings and be a JW but within a few months I came to my senses also.
As I said, you can never tell. If your girlfriend has had such a difficult life, it may be why she's sticking, or feeling that she want s to stick with the JWs at the moment, because it appears more permanent and the people are meant to be more loving, in theory.
Time, here is the secret. Watch and see, patiently if you can.
YUM!!!!!
Wonder what it's like mixed with Nutella.....sort of Nutamite?

Thanks everyone and thanks especially gypsywildone!
I will ring and write to the UN, however, I do remember reading in someone's post about an article in the UK's Guardian newspaper on the scandal and was wanting to get hold of a back copy from them. Is there a chance that anyone might remember or know where I could find the date of the back issue from? Sorry to push this but...you know.
yesterday evening my dog got an epileptic attack - peeing all over the tapestry and almost glueing at the floor with the foam at his mouth (it is very hard to remove).
after the attack he wanted to "walk" pacing up the room (and backyard) for a long time.. .
this night he was whining a lot - wanting outside... (which i allowed for at least 5 times - thus having not much sleep myself).
So sorry to hear about your loss Country-woman, but you did the right thing.
We had to take the same action with our dog five years ago. We still get upset when we talk about what happened but sometimes it really is the most loving thing you can do for them.
Take care of yourself and be glad that you dog had such a good life.
we had a phone call yesterday, after being "inactive" for 6 years.
not having attended a meeting in 4 years, we get a call saying they are concerned that they had heard we believe in evolution.
my partner said "not necesarily believe in it, im just not discounting it at this time.
I love it! Don't be worried about these stupid asses. It will be interesting to see what happens with you partners mother though.
Your husband should be given a medal for his performance on the phone! I wish I could be that cool.
when a witness encounters injustices engendered by the watchtower and considers them.
with clarity of mind, he is likely to suppose that , at worst, the old men who run things.
are sincere but misguided.
Deliberate deceivers and Sincere Old Men all mixed up in a mess called the WTBTS.
They sell a product that people think they want, eternal life in a paradise on earth.
Buy a bottle of 'Dr Joe's Cure all'. All you have to do is go to five meetings a week and out in field service, at least ten, and place as many mags as you can and you might stand a chance of living forever. Is that all? Sounds good, to start with. Until you find there's only cold tea in the bottle.
i'm glad i'm a man.
i'm glad i'm a man, you better believe.
i don't live off of yogurt, diet coke, or cottage cheese.
Really?
LMAO!
Just a teensy bit of a generalisation though, ....don't you think?
i have been today hotly debating with my jw parents about the 1914 'problem' and how the generation that saw the signs will soon be dead and gone and 'then what you gonna do!
' said i all smug like.
i was then informed that 'the generation that will by no means pass away' now meant all of those that were born during the lifetime of those who saw the beginning of the signs in 1914!.

That means that you could add another one hundred years to the life of the WTBTS because some of those very old people are still alive and children are still being born.
How long can this nonsense go on for!
Any one else heard this New BS?
