seeing my cat come to me when i open the door.... seeing a pm, when i come on jwd....
When my little 2 year old wakes me up and asks me "mommy, how do you make breakfast"?, when my 5 year old laughs at the things that my parents believed and wouldn't let me do because they thought it was bad(b'day parties), when my little 3 yr old gives me a hug and tells me "I love you mommy"

why trust the faithful and discreet slave.
our trust in "the faithful slave" is also manifest when we support the organization with our material contributions.
three more keywords here: trust, manifest, material contributions.
If you tried to look at the perspective of the supposed "faithful and discreet slave" it would look like God is blessing you.
They have millions of $ invested and in property. The money keeps coming in. Also God MUST be blessing them since look at how people will follow
them by just printing a book or giving a talk telling people "they" are God's chosen ones!
I wish that they would come down to the real world and see the tragedies unfolding in every JW's lives every day and then try and tell everyone that God is blessing them.

i was born into the "truth", so it is pretty much to only life i have known.
i have been studying the bible seriously since my teens, about 15+ years.
then it hit me about 6 months ago, i?m not really studying the bible, but rather the wt publications.
Hi Jula,
Good to see you are starting to see the slavery the WT is putting on you.

according to the ajwbr.org website, it says.
"june 15th 2004: the june 15th watchtower expands on the june 15, 2000 article.
for the first time, the rank and file jehovah's witness learns that the single largest blood component (hemoglobin) is now permitted as a matter of personal choice.
When I was a witness, I was trying to defend the blood transfusion with someone and had to get clarification from a witness. The elders wife told me that
when Jesus said to abstain from blood that people were doing blood transfusions back then. I researched and tried to find evidence of this and all I
found was that possibly there were some that used blood in rituals and drank blood thinking they would inherite that persons spirit. Do some witnesses
actually believe that there were blood transfusions being administered back in the first century?

seeing this is the 5th anniversary of jwd, i was curious as to how many who still post here, were dyed in the wool jws, but later sucumbed to "the truth about the truth" .
were an active/semi-active jw, and this site and others were enough to convince you that your doubts had substance.
Been out for 1 and half years and just started posting.

i received this email from a friend of a friend:.
'comments made by brother lett at morning worship today.. the comments were about the work we have of bearing witness of the truth.
" again, the angels make note of it.. we knock at the fifth house and again no one is home.
Have you guys forgotten that Jehovah is reading your heart too!!!! So if the try to question them about the stupidity of this line of reasoning they will just remind you of God watching how obedient you will be to this requirement.

i finally figured out why i'm so socially retarded...it just hit me.. here i was sitting and wondering why i have such a hard time meeting new people, making friends, thinking of relevent things to say, and so on.
it really is painful and scary for me.
i was told who i could talk to, who i couldn't talk to, what i could say, what i couldn't say.
I so totally identify with you Merry!!!
It sounds like Jez had some cool parents. I wasn't allowed to do anything without being questioned about every detail of what was going to happen when kids got together(like we were suppose to know) We had been dragged in the back room by elders just over watching movies at someones house. We were so discouraged at any type of gathering other than the odd baseball game or wedding and then we still had to bare a talk the following Sunday about having TOO much fun and not taking Jehovah seriously. This is really true!!!! To this day I cannot go into a group and feel comfortable and strike up conv easily. I have some really close friends that I have met who are not JW that I go places with in a group because they help make it easier for me to develope this skill. All in All I wonder if I will eventually be able to strike up good conversation natually or will this be my legacy!
