dear all,.
it's a little over a year now (2 years last february) that my family and i left watchtower and i can't begin to tell you how wonderful life has been!.
ok, i'm saddled with a serious illness at present and enough has been said about it, but i'd just like to focus on how much a family can really grow once it has been freed from watchtower's yoke.
Ian & Family,
Not easy for me to be mushy...so I'll just quote an old Budweiser advert..."I love you man." No it's not the beer talking. Just happy you and fam are happy.

I remember the letter writing campaign in the late 80's or early 90's when we were "encouraged" to write letters of protest to the Malawi officials on behalf of the ones being persecuted. I did so. I think they published the addresses of the proper Malawi authorities in one of the rags.

my husband who was never a jw does not see the humor in this - but i knew ya'll would.
occasionally i will ask my mother (a devout jw) a biblical question to get her thinking.
i used to ask her a lot of questions, but it put a strain on our relationship and i finally decided i just needed to love her and accept her the way she is.
Dawn,
The proof is in the fine print... "after a short grace period the WTBS retains the right to change the terms at any time."
Also, " Arbitration: In the event of a dispute you agree to arbitrate with no counsel in the court of WTBS appointed carpet-cleaners."

i have long thought that a billboard campaign might be effective in reaching many jw's, especially those without a computer.
imagine a large donation to jwd with the stipulation that it support a message billboard near every assembly hall and summer convention center.
what would you write?
There's a billboard a few hundred feet from the old hall I used to attend...Someday the following will appear on that billboard....
If you belonged to a cult,
You'd be home by now.

reading simon's thread on the memorial(tm), made me realize something, that i have to share with the gang.
this is 100% true.. in the early 1990s, my parents (father = elder/secretary) took a week's vacation in cuba.. due to either poor planning, or "neglect of spiritual things(tm)", they realized they were going to be in cuba for the memorial.
(can you say whoops!!!???).

its time to leave.
i have had all the answers i need to make a firm decision.
thank you so much everyone for your replies, for talking to me over the last few weeks and for some of the humour.. i believe the jws are right and that they have the truth.
Holly,
If you've got kids, I hope they're never molested by some self-righteous elder type...but if they are, be sure to tell them what you told us " ...if you can be misjudged and badly hurt and then punished for something that isnt your fault, and you can bow to that punishment and accept it, and forgive those people that did it to you, and accept that punishment like it was your fault, even when it wasnt, then i think you have found the true meaning of love and forgiveness, and hold the keys to the kingdom."

PS.... and don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way outa here!

defd....of course you need us to feed your WTBS inspired persecution complex.

poor thing, she's had alzheimer's for about 10 years and the last year she's been on hospice care because she's been so close to death.
the past few months she's been slowly filling up with water -- they gave her lasix (not sure of the spelling) to relieve the edema and it worked, sort of.
last weekend she actually looked a little better.
I am very sorry for your loss.
