1975 coverup! Compare the '68 and '81 Truth book scans
by JimmyPage inthe wt society pointed to 1975 as the date for the end of the world.
when the date came and went they changed their publications to remove themselves from the fiasco.

They call me "Brother Undercover"
by undercover inso i went to the memorial, the only meeting i've gone to for the past five years, i think it is.. i got the usual love bombing from some of the "friends", got ignored by some others but it was the elders that got me.
four different elders came up to speak and every single one of them called me "brother".
"it's good to see you brother undercover..." "how have you been brother undercover..." "staying busy at work, brother undercover...".

I Have To Touch It...Saddest Thing I've heard in a Long Time
by Tired of the Hypocrisy ini think i posted on here that i went to the memorial last week.
my wife's dad has been a jw for over 50 years and has never missed a memorial before.
he has been getting sicker and sicker and his wife the star pioneer still does nothing for him.

TOTH - Your pain came through loud and clear in your post. My comment for you is regarding speaking with your FIL about the night, etc. At this stage of his life, you're not going to be able to reach him. It seems like all of the energy he has is being used up in just surviving another day. Don't add to the stress of the situation - let him live out the rest of his years, months, days . . . in ignorant bliss. There's not much more you can do.

Ok - so I'm a huge LL Cool J fan; and when I read the title of this thread, the lyrics to his song Headsprung popped into my head:
"They call me Big L'y, Big Silly, Big Money, Big Billy . . . "

Advice Please!!!!
by nevergonnab1 ini'm new here so i'll give a little background first.. i've never been a witness and i'll never be one.
my husband is but he hasn't been to any functions in about 15 years, i guess if he did start attending again he would be df'd because he impregnated a "worldly" girl (me) out of wedlock and then married a "worldly" girl (me again).. i need advice because his family relentlessly asks my children to attend and bribes them with very extravagant gifts.
i won't allow them to go so they stay pissed at me because they don't get the gifts.

Welcome Never - Hubert gave you the best advice I can think of. It sounds like your husband is what we call a Witness-apologist - someone who defends the witness beliefs even though they themselves choose not to follow them. Many people are forced out of the religion for various reasons and leave feeling that it is the "truth," but that they can never live up to its demands. Your husband may have some guilt about not being able to live up to the requirements, but being the great father that he is; would love for his children to have the opportunity to do better than him. He won't stand up to his family until he sees the real truth about the truth.
Good luck! (((Nellie))))

I lost friends - some of them I expected to lose, others really took me by surprise. Other than that, I feel like a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders - THAT'S worth plenty more!

My Latest Freeminds Blog
by AllTimeJeff injehovahs witnesses (jw) are taught to never listen to a word, or read an article by those who have left their former faith.
any critical information is viewed as poisonous to your faith.
it will kill your faith.

Jeff - interesting post. Last week my family and I had this long discussion about the contrasts of the matrix and the truth, so we decided to watch the 1st one again. Even when we watched it the first time, we commented that we thought the writers had purposely made the correlation with JWs. Great movie - even greater meaning!
