A friend told me that yesterday he heard something on a radio show about JWs. They were promoting a new book to refute JW doctrine.
It has the SAME name as one of the JW books that are used to train JWs. He said it was interesting that it had the same title and wondered how the WTS would allow copywright infringement...
He didn't know the title either...!!!
Does that help anyone???????????

how to live with JW
by freefly inhey,.
my partner in life (26yrs) has been converted to jw by his mother.. i am not one to whine -as very aware many have more troubles in their life.. i suppose one of my fears has been this exactly- as i know he was raised jw and should have saw the "signs.
" he always regularly visited with his mom, which i respected as felt a good sign he had a mother/son relationship.

Hi Freefly -
Welcome to JWD. This is a great place to vent and 'come to terms' with your current situation.
I do not have much to comment right now but I know that others here certainly will.
If you look around (especially the 'Best of' section) you will find that you story is not so terribly unique.
**if you really love him you will work it out........**
In the end, you BOTH have to work together. I wish you well as you sort out what you will need to do for your own peace and sanity.
Happy to have you along.

Recently Disfellowshipped
by dfd ini having been "lurking" around here for about a month--right when i was disfellowshipped actually.
in a year long relationship--broke up-five months later had a bout of conscience and told on myself.
myself and my ex are disfellowshipped and now most of my former group of "friends" are getting in trouble.

CCJW.com, CCJW.org
by Quotes ini just stumbled onto this useless bit of info: .
watchtower has registered internet domain names ccjw.com and ccjw.org (christian congregation of jahoobee's witlesses).
.org and .com are reg'd to joel gott /watchtower (joel seems to be their head nerd) .

**P.S. It is interesting that CCJW.org simply has a page titled "SI Projects" (look at the title bar in your browser). Does anyone know what SI Projects means? Special Interest? Stop Interference?**
The only thing "SI" means to me is: The old "SI" book. All Scripture is Inspired of God.

Presiding Overseer Says They Will Ask If You Still Want To Be A Jehovah's W
by minimus inthe local needs talk on thursday discussed a few different things, according to my mom.
but the one that stood out most was that he announced that based on the new book, the elders will be checking on those that have not been associating with the congregation for some time.
they will ask, "do you still want to be a jehovah's witness?

**I asked him if someone was on the other line. He replied, "No, but Bro. so-and-so is listening in."**
I'd take that as a 'yes'. Liars.
Sneeky indeed. Oh, how they think they are 'All that.'

Stickers on magazines
by Apostanator inwhenever i would see a watchtower or awake at the laundromat, i used to just rip them up and throw them away.
but now i carry labels on me that have been printed off my computer and stick them on the mags.
i have several types that are printed with such sayings as ( " this is a cult " included with freeminds website ) and ( "jehovah's witnesses cover-up child rape and abuse " included with silent lambs website ) i feel this is more successful as the magazine cannot be picked up without having the sticker in your face.

**Don't forget, you'll need to average at least 10-hours a month, otherwise Simon won't be happy. :) **
Not to worry.
I've regularly made pioneer hours here.
Where do we keep the time slips??

New and need a question answered before I post any other questions
by soundbox_guy inokay, first off, let me get this straight...you guys are all witnesses, some all active, some do things all the way right, some don't do things all the way right?
some are by the book but not preachy, and some are witnesses that are rogue and do things their own way?
i just want to know before i post any doubts or concerns or anything because even though i know we're supposed to stay away from places like this on the internet, i don't want what i say somehow getting back to my congregation somehow and next thing you know 4 elders come busting through the door waving "no blood" cards and shouting "freeze, jehovah's witnesses!

**So I guess my question is, have you guys been through similar things like this?**
Yup. And if you think THAT's bad. Imagine being a single WOMAN in that organization.

Took a huge step today
by tyler m ini've been gone from the "truth" for 9 years this month.
i have very little contact with my witness family.
every year around this time i get a letter from my grandparents.
-
Aude_Sapere
Yikes!
That's a mighty gutsy move. I think I would have trouble with that. But then my grandparents are mostly dead (one is still living) and none were witnesses so I hold them in different regard.
I might do it to my mother, but she's stopped trying to contact me.
(I'm neither DA'd nor DF'd)
Oh well. I guess congrats. It certainly moves you into another chapter.
Is today really your birthday??
If so,
***HAPPY BIRTHDAY***
Hugs,
