Welcome!
At that point in time when she comes up aginst the non-bibical unbending rules of the WT, she may recall what you tell her, perhaps it will help. All you can do is plant the seed. The WT will water it, and maybe, just maybe it will grow.

WHAT DUB THINGS WILL YOU NEVER FORGET?
by Mary innow as much as no one wants to admit it, we all know that there are things we learned in the borg that we'll never forget even if we live to be a hundred.
what is something that you know you'll always remember (despite your best efforts to forget!
for me, it's matthew 24:14 and the names of the three hebrews thrown into the firey furnace (shadrach, meeee-shack and a-bed-we-go)

Born in or brought in observation
by startingover ini was a born in jw.
i suppose i could best be described now as an athiest.
i have a hard time understanding how someone can figure out the jw scam and then become a born again christian.

I think most of us are evenly divided...whether born in, or raised in it from an early age, as I was...I believe in God...what I don't believe in any longer is religion, or holy books, or saintly leaders...don't feel the need to evangelize, tell people about "my God" and such. For me believing in God doesn’t mean I know what he expects or wants for anybody else. He's there, I'm here, doing the best with what I've got. Makes no difference what your focus is: atheist, agnostic, church goer, pagan, Wicca or witch or any of the other hundreds of belief systems. It's the good you do with your life, that's what matters. Simple.

The Watchtower and Awake would be very useful in an outhouse...tear off a page... crumple it up, roll it around between the palms making it soft and plyable...just right for what's needed...

I'm just numb! :-( I need to vent!
by caz ini have just witnessed for myself one of the most hypocritical scenes ever before in my life!
my sister's ex husband, ( father to 3 boys, 12, 15, 20 years) commited suicide a few days ago.
he has been a jehova's witness all of his life and and also suffered from bi polar disorder for most of it also, particularly bad in the past 3 years.

Zoo time and silly things
by Quentin ini sent an e-mail tonight that got me all nostalgic.
when i was in my late teens myself and two or three others from the kh would go over to forest park in ft. worth, usualy winding up at the zoo, it was free back then.
all of us being jws we had a lot of pent up energy and would invent games to play, which often involved chasing each other around with water pistols, this we did at the zoo.. we had another past time.

We had another past time. After the Friday meeting we would go the Lone Star Drive Inn on Lancaster Blvd. hang out awhile, chat up the young sisters that were there, then pile into a car and drive over to the Botanic Gardens, back then no fences or locked gates. There we would play hide-n-seek, geez it's a wonder we didn't get arrested, or worse, stabbed by some irate boyfriend out on a hot date. One night we did this at the zoo, it was kind of scary since we got chased by the security people. There were other things, like the time we went swimming at the Forest Park pool after it closed, sans clothes, except me. I couldn't get over the fence.
Anybody else do silly things. Know you did, come on fess up.
