  a card I received that reallly upset me

  by quietlyleaving in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a couple fo days ago two witnesses knocked with their children, they gave me flowers and a card with the following message:.

  "we want you know that we love you, and that you are in our prayers..we are thinking about you.. we remember too, and are grateful for yur support in the past, especially 6 years ago, when you came to the home, following our loss of dennis (not his real name).. in these last days, life is harder then ever.

  satan is trying to break all of us, be it through health problems, the ones we love and even our brothers and sisters where it hurts the most.

  Ouch that's harsh. Not sure what your status is, but you could reply with:

  Thanks for your card. I was thinking about you recently too.

  How could I have not supported you when Dennis died? We go way back; like that time he came to us at age 14 with the black eye and the swollen lip that his father had given him.

  You can kid yourselves with whatever delusions you want, but your hypocritical conditional friendship is worthless to me. I stopped missing you long ago.

  You are going to grow old and die. I know you KNOW I'm wrong, but by the time you realise it's true it will be too late to go back in time and have a decent life. So just don't contact me again and I'll call it even.

  Shun the shunners babe.

  After 18months I get called on - Elder confrontation.

  by wozadummy in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  firstly i will acknowlege this may be long please bear with me.. not all written here will be exactly in the sequence we discussed things, for we talked for some time at my door.. he was my former book study conductor and i still think he has good qualities that i see lacking in so many elders, but as you will see the wts mindset is like concrete in his mind.. i am writing this not to brag but to emphasise and highlight the disgusting mindset of the wts and it's leaders and members.. here we go - some may know that my wife was molested as a child for some time by her elder father.

  when we married some years ago it did not take long for her to open up to me about what happened to her and needless to say we struggled with this, and eventually told the local elders what happened to her as a child.. we only went this path after she tried to get him to confess ,which he did'nt and so we followed what we thought at the time was the theocratic way and went to the elders ,and please note we sincerely wanted him to repent so he could get everlasting life.

  he denied all and so followed years of heartache for my wife along with her family tormenting her and eventually abandoning her, even by at least one of her sisters whom my wife also witnessed getting done by the father though not as bad ,and my wife even as a kid tried to protect her younger sisters.. ok there is the usual wts crap "we have no witnesses" even though my wife called out to jehovah to stop him as he did this for years.

  Hiya wazza. You're not a dummy anymore are you?! That was an outstanding post because it is about an extraordinary conversation. If I knew you I'd be proud that you stood up to him and defended your precious wife. Please tell her that she is one magnificent woman for going to the police - that would be quite traumatic without the support of family. Kudos to you both, and I hope that day by day you get stronger and more confident in your ability to handle this situation.

  Encountered Witnesses today at Dunkin Donuts, need some advice please

  by NotaNess in

  2. beliefs

  i am behind in composing my "counter-witness" pamphlets that i have been wanting to design, but i've been compiling info still.

  problem is that days like today, when i talked to witnesses in a plaza, i did not have anything to give but my words.

  funny, i gave my business card to them(they were spanish), and told them to have someone call on me, so i can do a study with them.

  I'm with Terry. What's so great about your life that you need to rock their world? They think they're happy. How about first find out if they're not. If they are happy, you're a big meanie to take away their happiness. It's my opinion that everybody has the right to believe whatever stupid delusion they want. If you want to change anything about them, just go for the stuff that involves inflicting pain on a second party; that refusing blood transfusions kills kids, or that disfellowshipping kills adults. Besides that, I'm a live-and-let-live person.

  So you've gone in the other direction, congratulations. Beware of retaining the old compulsion to convert other people to what you believe to help affirm it to yourself.

  HELP - my boyfriend's ex called and wants them to reconcile....what to do?

  by Juniper in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i've been seeing an amazing man for a few months now.

  i recently found out that before we met, my boyfriend had been thinking about getting back together with his ex-girlfriend.

  (who is going through a divorce of her own right now) they have a two year old son together.. he says that if his child weren't involved, he wouldn't even consider going back to her.

  Ick, wow, he's sure keeping all his options open isn't he? I'll bet he thinks that you'll still be there when he breaks up with her for good too.

  i've met some wonderful friends here at this forum, but it's time for me to put the jw religion to rest.

  it will be 15 years this october that i daed myself which in retrospect i wish i wouldn't have done as there are some former sisters who i would love to give a big hug and talk with who are in pain mentally, but i can't.

  i agreed to their "rules" when i was baptized.

  Goodbye, my sweet sister

  by sweetface2233 in

  i was raised as a witness and have been miserable for my entire existence.

  i have hated every moment of it.

  after about 10 years of struggling, i decided 2 years ago that i was done w/ the charade and wasn't going to return to the meetings.

  so sorry. Pretty much exactly what my sister said.

  It gets better eventually, but any change of heart that she might have in the future will be entirely in her own time. All you can do is heal the incredible hurt you're facing and get on with living and enjoying your own life. When I get upset about my family, I try to replace the hurt with pity for them. Work through it sometimes, put it behind you sometimes, punch a pillow sometimes, drink to them sometimes... the rest of the time focus on your own happiness and fulfillment. We get this one shot at living, so achieve what you want here and now.

  Freedom: terrible terrible freedom! Welcome to the board.

  ok first of all i want to apologize for not coming in more often and saying hi, i guess im just lazy.

  richierich did show me that thread from last week with yall asking about me and i intended to post but i completely forgot and other things got in the way but i do want to say thank you for being so kind and caring.

  ok so i had my first elders meeting the other day with the subject at hand as "bad association" seeing that my parents caught me sneaking out to hang with my "worldly" girlfriend and her friends.

  Well done; non-confrontational is safe. I hope that you can get it to work for you and that you're successful at it.

  ive kinda come to the realization that i will never really know "the truth" about god and the universe and all that even if such a thing exist, so im fine with sticking with whatever "truth" personally makes sense to me at any given time and allowing that to grow, evolve and develop as i go through life.

  Also well done! You sound like a bright guy, you're going to go far.
