I shouldn't laugh ...but

by aniron in

last tuesday my jw nephew 26 yrs old, got df'd.

seems his jw father (my brother) and mother came home and caught him having sex, with a guy!!

seems they walked in when the guys were right in the middle of it.

If your nephew has been gay for 10 years so far, he was probably glad that he was caught & Df'd. Now he can move on with his life!

Hello Swiftbreeze,

I started to laugh when I read your comment :

(I wanted to slap her. I don't know i'm feeling real confrontational today. Maybe i'll sip on some wine and just chill....)

That is EXACTLY something that I would say or do! haaa

Hello Quentin,

Welcome!

Like yourself, I'm new here but I have been out of the JW's for 10 years. I liked your story because one of your statements was: ( It took a long time to get the WTBTS out of my system.)

That is so true! Once you leave you deal with all kinds of inner conflict until you get the WBTS thinking out of your system.

Being here and chating and reading the different threads, has made me feel like I finally found a place where I fit in. The people here can relate to everything that you say.

I was reg. pioneering and it was a bunch of sisters in my Van. Since we were so close to my house that morning, I asked everyone if they wouldn't mind stopping and having a peice of pie and coffee. Most of the time, I can honestly say my house is very clean. But that morning I didn't make any of the beds and I wasn't sure about the kitchen. I asked if they would please excuse the mess.

One of the sisters in the back of the Van said, 'Dee we know that you are not a SLUT !'

SLUT????- I looked at her! She yelled out, 'NOOO, I mean Slob!

The New World Translation and Honesty

by Little Bo Peep in

after having researched my beliefs of 45+ years, finding so much was really different than what the bible context really taught, i decided to "read" the bible for for the first time to see what it really was saying, taking off the "blinders" of the wt.

i began reading the greek scriptures first.

i used the new world translation, knowing if we were to ever reach our grown children, i would need to use that translation to prove anything.

For no particular reason, it wasn't until 2004 that I decided that I wanted to read the King James version. I wasn't looking for anything different, but I found myself doing a comparison between the NT and KJ version.

I'm going to look up your scriptures that you mention, just to see what I find.

Thanks for the information

by sad and lonely in

hi my sister and brother-in-law who claims to be a preacher,see visions,and who claims god sends him messages,say that speaking in tongues isn't words anyone can understand but the one who's doing it.and only he can tell the people what he was saying.i didn't a gree with him.i trying to show him a scripture i read,about the flames coming over the congrgations head..(i'm not really good yet with finding scriptures on my own)but i know i read it!

he said i don't understand because i'm not in the carnal(being at gods level of understanding..as he is!

) i witness it recently when my brother-in-law was in the icu from a heart attack.his sista was at frist praying,then she started making those crazy sounds...i almost ran out!...it scared the crap out of me!...i don't believe thats from god...can anyone help with scriptures for me to show my family what speaking in tongues really is?...thanks!

My nephew goes to some church where they speak in tongues, do a lot shouting and raising their hands. My sister said that when she went to her son's church, she almost started laughing at them. ( I know I would of.) haa

I asked my nephew if he knew what he was saying and he said, 'No, but it is the holy spirit which enters into me and I just start speaking.'

Personally, I don't care what he does or how he claims to be closer to God. As long as he doesn't try to preach to me or ask me to go with him.

I am an official apostate.....nearly.. and I'm loving it!!!!!!

by Gill in

today, whilst shopping, i ran into an old school friend of mine that i had been quite close to.

i used to write her 'sick' notes for her, so as you can imagine, we're friends forever now.. anyway, she tells me that she is studying with jehovah's witnesses again.

i think she expected me to be thrilled with this news.
