BASTARD! He has not spoken to her in 15years and outside of a brief visit a few years ago when my grand daughter was born, and then to only tell her the same crap

Since the WBTS is the decsion maker in his life, I am thinking that he must have received " permission", either though some article or other avenue they use to initiate contact with such a evil df'd person.

anybody know of any such campaign?

Question for those who have left the WT with small children??

friends

my 5 year old starts school in aug at the same time my wife and i are facing the crisis of leaving the wt.

to any who left the wt with small children how did you handle things?

how do you handle holidays?

I have not posted ina while, but you really tugged on my heart strings, panic! My kids were teenagers when I left, and I have since learned that they stretched it as far as they could in school to be like the other kids, and always feeling guilty after sneaking a birthday cupcake or pretending to make a wish list for Santa.

So, rest assured, you are saving your children a world pf grief and guilt. Keep talking to that counselor and then: Let is go

Would you have quit the JW's for a Worldly Person you loved?

by JH in

friends

when you were a devout jw, and if you would have met a man/women that really pleased you, would you have quit the jw organization for that person, if he/she asked you to?

glenwoodswoman

I did, too,

Been with him for 12 years, for years he was my only friend after the DFing. Now we have wonderful friends and I dont care what they believe or wear or what their kids are watching on TV.

Mostly I regret staying in the religion several years after I knew this was not for me

I regret letting "them" tell me my children could not watch certain TV programs, go to dances, join the swim team , go to college.

Is It Right To Tip Your Hat To A Lady?

by Englishman in

jw
friends

i've always thought it to be a charming and old-fashioned custom.

my grandfather always did it.

whenever he was out walking with me tagging along, he would always doff his hat whenever he passed a lady coming the other way, or whenever he he stopped to chat.

Man and woman were not created equal in power and glory; the man came first and was given special prerogatives.

It is the woman that is commanded to show respect and recognition of the man?s position of headship, and women who rebel at it are not so much rebelling against men as they are against God.?Gen. 3:16; 1 Cor. 11:2-10; Eph. 5:33.

WTF!!! I am going to puke all over again......How Did they get me to buy into this sh*T????

never again
