i know that this may be impossible and will surely get me a judicial comittee but i'm tired of keeping mum about how i feel.
so, i'm going to e-mail my two friends (two women under 35 who both got baptised within the last five years and one married a brother this year.they're both pioneers) and tell them what's bothering me and ttatt.. i'm going to do it tomorrow night.
i have some points already but i may have left out some.
you will most likely lose your friends if you do this.
I have a friend that left recently I waited 8 years for her to come out. I made subtle hints about researching things. I asked her now how she felt when I said those things to her. She doesn't remember me saying anything of the sort. She said that she probably would have read me the riot act had I talked against the jw's. They tend to tune out things that they don't want to hear.
genesis 35:18 (new world translation).
.and the result was that as her soul[a] was going out (because she died) she called his name benoni; but his father called him benjamin.. .
.. i never asked them and now i can't .
Yeah I meant the soul going out part. Seems that they are making it into something it's not.

if you're in trouble today, don't panic.
all you need to do is yell out at the top of your voice, "jehovah!".
well, that's what many jehovah's witnesses believe.
Lol. Too funny. I went a ride at Disneyland once with an elders daughter. It was called the Matterhorn. She was sitting in front me. Well the abomdomal snowman made his appearance she screamed Jehovah's name repeatedly... It was so funny.
it's been a long time.. well, i guess i'm gonna have to 'cut the cord' with my family.of course, they are all big sinners in jehovah's borganization, as is my husband.
but, i need to get it together and start attending meetings again!.
because he is the hypocrite and i don't tell them everything that goes on in our marriage, his word holds power over mine.
It's not only because he is attending meetings... it's also because he is a man!. When it come down to it if a woman were to accuse a man of something and the man denied it the elders would believe the man. I guess they think men don't lie but women do. Or maybe if you have a penis you must be telling the truth. The elders did this to my family.
does anyone else think its a bit rude and creepy for people from your way distant past or having only the tenuous of social connection with you to request being your friend on facebook but then totally ignore you, not even say a simple hello?.
this annoys me and i have a policy of deleting them after a month if they don't make communicative contact because by not even sending a message to say "hi, how are ya after all these years" they are not being friendly just apparently nosey bastards who wanna see my photos and what i've been up to in my life and then basically ignore me.
ive had this experience with a lot of jw's from my past.
I've had that happen to me before. I approved their friend request with no hello from them so I tried to start the conversation and still no response.so I deleted them....after I snooped in their albums of course.
i am having a discussion with a jw who has contacted me on facebook.
we are discussing the changed the wt society made to hte bible.
in short he says he has a hebrew friend and that friend says the nwt is correct and no changes have been made.
Wow I learn something here everytime I post or read a topic. Who needs a college education when you got JWD. ( just joking) but thank you everyone for your input.
Turns arguing with that jw was like teaching a pig to sing.... he just didn't want to get the obvious that I pointed out to him. Claiming that the society only changed things to make it clearer to us... I guess the society thinks their flock is dumb.
you might like our new song on you tube titled '0940 our spiritual mother' about the experience her 'children' have had as jehovah's witnesses.
it's a reworded version of mother (pink floyd) set to new and historic watchtower images.. some who've already seen it have been kind enough to describe it as 'incredibly sad', 'powerful' and even 'poignant'.

Wow that puts shit in perspective.
according to the bible he communicated quite freely with humans, via dreams ,angels ,prophets ,etc.etc., in ancient times ,even up to, two thousand years ago , then he fell silent.then whatever, he was supposed to have said, has been manipulated , ( mis ) interpretrated ,twisted ,whatever, by imperfect human beings ,supposedly speaking in his name .during this last 2000 years.we now live in a time of unprecedented information technology , isn`t this the time to speak to the people of all the earth ?
using such technology ?
their has never been a time on earth when their have been so many people living at the one time and the means to communicate with all of them in a 24 hour period .
When my daughter was five she asked her JW babysitter why god doesn't talk to us anymore. The babysitter said because we have made Jehovah sad. Lol
page 19 disturbing news reports and your children.. what is the governing boby's point?that children under 13 should not watch news because of the violence?.
how about some disturbing news reports from the bible.
ishbosheth gets his head cutoff.. david kills 200 men and cut thier foreskins off (6 years old asks what are foreshins?).
oMG. The pic of Issac ALMOST being stabbed by Abraham used to scare the crap out of me. when I would get in trouble from my mom that pic used to flash thru my mind....no wonder I was such a goody two shoes....I didn't want to get stabbed.
