  i stumbled on this site by accident and i'm kind of glad i did.

  in the past i have typically avoided these sites because most people on them seem newly bitter and i didn't like the tone.

  i was raised a witness by an alcoholic father and an abusive stepmother.

  To what extent did you let others know that you were a JW?

  i remember the elders telling us that we had to let everyone know that we were a jw.

  does your boss know that you're a jw?

  does your teacher know?

  Sadly, yes, I told anyone who would listen.

  I remember feeling guilty because I had considered NOT telling my employer.

  Well, since most JWs won't read anything that wasn't published by the WTS-----you would have to point out the contradictions in their own literature.

  taking care of my elderly JW mother

  2. experiences

  after lurking around this and other forums, i decided to add my personal experience.

  first i was raised in the so called "truth" i was forced to attend meeting in the 60's when i was a teen and i later quit going to the kh in the early 70's, when i graduated from high school and left my parents house.

  in the 90's i started a book study with a really nice jw sister and attended several jw meeting, conventions and memorials, i was ready to get baitized, but i decided not to go through with it.

  lets get the elders stoned

  thinking about vallis assembly post on the other board made me think of an evil idea.

  suppose you were at an assembly eating lunch with the elder about to give the next talk (one of those two hour groaners).

  all of a sudden he leaves to use the bathroom and you have a chance to sneak an illegal narcotic of your choice into his food*.

  My wife is joining, how do I keep her from leaving me?

  by Check_Your_Premises in

  my wife is getting baptized on the 19th.

  there is nothing i can do or say to stop it.

  we have 3 children, and i am from a broken home, so i can't imagine divorcing.

  Beware that any opposition to your wifes goal of baptism will be perceived as coming from Satan. I'm convinced that the witnesses have told her that because of her choice, she has become a target. By pressuring her to NOT be baptised--------you are only aiding the JWs and their efforts to bring her into the flock.

  I'm so sorry for your loss. Just remember that you have just as much right to be there, if not more, than anyone else.

  My heart goes out to you. Hugs!!!

  and its 'goodbye from him'

  i've taken a leaf from holly's book to thank your for having me on the forum - thirteen interesting days but came to realise one cannot achieve much speaking from behind a screen.

  people do not know who you really are, nor do you they.

  i read many of holly's posts but few others.

  This guy is full of crap when he said that he wouldn't be back to read the posts. He won't be able to help it. If for no other reason than JWs are notoriously nosy. I'm glad he's gone back to his bubble.
