for those that know us and that have been following our jwd love story...we cannot contain the news any longer, we have known now for over two weeks but wanted to wait until we had the last early pregnancy scan to confirm everything was ok. .

today we witnessed a miracle in the making and the ultimate in creativity - the scan confirmed a strong heartbeat and considerable growth since the last scan a fortnight ago.. we are going to be parents .

gary (db74) & dawn (sirona).

Crisis of Conscience stolen from my local library

by neverendingjourney in

i finished reading combating cult mind control a few days ago.

i went to the local library to try to get a copy of crisis of conscience.

i had the librarian search for it, and it's not available in any of the municipal library's branches (i live in a fairly large city).

not surprised

all apostates are thieves

Have you noticed that disfellowshipped Witnesses are treated differantly?

my family does not speak to me.

i have no problem with that as they are pains in the ass.

but during my tenure as a jw, i noticed that differant families would treat their df'd members differantly, even if they didn't live in the same household, often inviting them over for dinner, etc.

If you had been reinstated as quickly as the girl was maybe you'd still be a Witness today!

oh there is no doubt...and i know what you are saying and i appreciate your sentiments.

truth is tho that i loved it...and i would rather have never found out it wasn't true.

and there are times now when i consider going back...and every time i do i remember that if anyone knows for sure the detrimental effect that df-ing has on genuinely sorry imperfect people then it is jehovah...so he cannot possibly be directing an organization that treats people so inhumanely.

and if jws are wrong..then obviously i don't want to know them

and if they are right then i don't wanna know jehovah

t.i.j.k.m.o.

The WTS leaves me no choice but to ''fade''!

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

notice what it says in the watchtower magazines from the 1980's about people who either reject or leave the faith of jehovah's witnesses.

if you get disfellowshiped,disasociate yourself,or reject the teachings of the organizationan ....... you will be treated the same.

they really give you no other ways of leaving the organization.

yes but they just locked it as i posted..

when i was df-ed...i had no association with anyone...no friends , family, elders...as per my and their understanding of org procedure based on bible principles.

the adult girl that i was involved with continued to associate with family, (including doing secular work together - something my family decided was unnecessary association with me altho my mental state meant i could not work alone) got texts and phone calls from friends frequently, and elders often enquired concerningly of her at the meetings and on the phone.

the result..she was reinstated within 5 months (altho she was not a strong believer) and to my knowledge continues to this day.

i was refused reinstatement for a year and a half as a result of which i lost all my faith in a loving god, lost all my friends, strained relationships with my family continue to this day, no desire to fix my marraige, lost all my work, had a complete nervous breakdown, bankruptcy imminent, and no longer an attendee...

gotta love the irony
