  And to think, at one time we all had a lifetime membership, nonrefundable, of course!

  I remember when we'd be driving down the road. If we pulled up to a car where someone was smoking, drinking, or had the music up too load, we were told how bad that person was. When it did become me I loved it! For people that aren't suppose to judge, they sure do it big time! When I did escape I learned I had been lied to. The "wordly" people were the ones that cared and helped me believe in myself, even when I didn't. Didn't they used to always talk about "sheep in wolves clothing"?

  Do JWs ever use their donations/WT profits to help the less-fortunate?

  by sonnyboy in

  i was a jw for a number of years as a kid, but i don't remember them doing anything to help the community.

  many churches in my area have soup kitchens, clothing/toy drives, and other services to help people in need.

  do jehovah's witnesses ever use proceeds in this way, or are they all used to make more watchtowers, books, and kingdom halls?

  This topic gets my blood boiling! My 63 yr. old mother lives in a run down mobile home. Would never consider letting us help her find something better, cause, of course- the big "A" would be here soon. There are holes in places. Barely is able to make enough to survive, etc. Of course, she defends them at every turn. Her health isn't good. But do you think anyone in the Columbia, MO congregation would raise a finger to help in any way?? NNNNOOOOO!

  Okay, now I"m in a mood--and it's not good. Now I'm ready to let someone have it!! Too bad KH's don't have their own email!! Too bad I live so far away.....I'd enjoy a good meeting with an elder right amout now!

  OK- I'll shut up-- FOR NOW! Don't see it lasting very long!!!

  We got new light and didn't even notice it

  is it not shocking to identify the ruling political powers with a wild beast?

  moreover, why should anyone object to the bibles saying that it is satan who gives the wild beast its great authority?

  god is the source of that statement, and before him the nations are as a drop from a bucket and as a film of dust.

  Like everyone said "RUN like your life depends on it!", cause it does. Have you had a chance to be around other JW's and see for yourself what kind of life is ahead of you? Do you want to give up any chance to have a half-ass normal life? The JW's will always dictate to him what he can and can't do. Women are expected to be submissive--are you ready for that? If he's already "cheated", and claiming to be a JW- he's got some heavy issues! You are too young. Get out and enjoy your life! It may hurt for a while, but nothing compared to the grief you'll get if you stay around!!

  If Your Mate Used Drugs, What Would You Do?

  First, everyone give *HUGS* to Miss Peaches!! I also have firsthand knowledge of the nightmare meth causes. I finally have 11 months clean. It only took 2 years doing meth to screw up my life and family. My daughter is just now starting to talk to me life before. I did 2 rehabs, but left both early. It's taken alot of prayer, NA meetings, a good sponsor, and new friends. They call me on my shit when I need it! (Not that I would ever need it!)

  He has to hit bottom before he can even accept there is a problem. Unfortunately, that means loosing everything and everyone in their life. When there is no one to enable him, no where for him to go- he may finally decide maybe there is a problem. I know I reached that point where my life was totally out of comtrol, and there was nothing i could do. I was able to keep it from my family for quite awhile. But then suddenly I just spiraled out of control. Suicide even looked like an answer for me.

  It's going to be a long road, no matter what. But if you choose to stay, he will take you down with him. If he does decide to get help, he's going to need support. You can't make him get help, but you can help yourself!!!!

  Let us know how it goes!!

  Self denial for the sake of the WTS?

  by greendawn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a jw were you really willing to make sacrifices, great and small, for the "truth" or did you feel deep down that it wasn't worth it?

  when did you decidedly say no to being self denying for the sake of the wts?

  While trying to be a "good example", or at least keep up with the teens that were, I resented every meeting, every knock on every door. The elder's made me give up knowing my real dad, since he was "bad association". It took a long time to accept I sacrificed being a normal teen and going to college.

  But when I left, I had to sacrifice my family. Leaving my sisters and bother was the hardest thing I ever did. I raised them cause my mom was so depressed she wouldn't leave her room. My stepmom reminded me for years that when they get old enough they'd leave to. She was right.

  HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THROUGH A SCAM?

  by hubert in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  while riding home from work today, i noticed a "car for sale" in someones yard.

  it was the same yard that i saw a car for sale in last year, and made me think back to it.. last year around this time, i was kind of looking for a used car or truck to replace the one that was literally falling apart before my eyes, when i noticed this car in a driveway, with a sign on it, saying ....."for sale by owner".. so, i stopped and got out to look at it, and as i approached it, i noticed it had a "dealer" plate on it!.

  i immediately made an about face, and headed for my old truck, and took off.

  Here where I live it's very hard to find a job. The last couple months I've been researching jobs to do at home or on the internet. I have found a couple that are legitimate. But by far I've seen tons of scams. It's hard to believe someone would fall for some, they're so obvious.

  Hubert--A long time ago my dad fell for one of those schemes. Only it had clipper attachments that hooked to a vaccuum. Nothing so sscary has your dad coming at you with clippers going round and round, hooked to a vaccuum.!!

  The Love Is So Different

  by Honesty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  during my 15 years as a jw compared to the 'pagan' church i am now a member of the love is like 'night and day' in comparison.

  no wonder jesus said that a person would know his followers by the love they showed.

  i am gonna stick around where real love is a part of life instead of where it is a front for a demon inspired cult that calls itself 'the truth'.

  Since I left the JW's I have learned what love really is. The unconditional love that they don't have a clue about!!

  Did Anything Positive Come From You Being A JW?

  by Why Georgia in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know this has probably been asked before.. did anything positive come from you being a jw?.

  i personally was never a jw....but i have benefited from darling husband being one.

  from working on all those quick builds and being involved in all those cleaning businesses.

  I can't think of one thing. Because the elders told me I couldn't get to know my real dad, I did what most would do, and did it anyway. Because of having to do "women's work" (gag me), I can cook for alot of people. I can speak in public. But then my mouth overloads my ass most of the time. Oh, I did learn how to handle elder's meetings and totally piss them off.~~
