  Letter From My Elder Brother 2 Years Ago ; My Reply to Him

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as some of you know, me and my wife 2 years ago were accused of " circumstancial fornication" 1 month before we were married because my ex wife ( divorced 1998) and my youngest daughter , both witnesses, drove an hour and a half away from where they lived to find me at my fiances house at 9:30 a.m. in the morning to take my fiance to get her tires fixed.

  both my fiance and me were fully clothed !

  then my ex-wife ran and gossipped to my witness parents and older siblings about it , bringing about them writing condemning letters to me ; without even checking out the accuracy of the false charges.

  Until you choose to make that change, we will have no relationship with you.

  But a year later in September 2007 when our 80 year old mother had back surgery, he and his wife acted all loving and accepting to Mrs. Flipper and me. Are these people insane, or what ?

  Talk about "Flip-Flopping"....

  Yeah, I think it's insane, the more I read about people's experiences the more unreal it seems.

  There is no way such treatment would "EVER" make me want to go back and be apart of that confused, emotionally dead org.

  I liked your letter... You did great...!!!

  Newbie here

  by CAL69 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm new to this site and just thought i'd share a little bit about myself.. i was born and raised in los angeles, grew up as a jw and left the org when i was 22. i wasn't df'd or da'd, i just faded (very quickly).

  i left the org 10 years ago and never looked back....or so i thought.

  it wasn't until recently that i realized how much of a hold they still had on me.

  Hi everyone! im also a newbie here.

  hi everyone, thought it was time to say hi after nearly a year lurking on this site!!

  abit about me... i was born into the jw's and have been baptised for about 15yrs and was appointed as an ms about a year ago.

  i have been a die hard jw for the last few years, but because of the arrogant and unloving attitude of certain 'spirit appointed' men within the cong and circuit i began to wounder if what i had really was 'the truth' and caused me to do some digging on some of the fundamental teachings.

  The apocalypse is not something which is coming. The apocalypse has arrived in major portions of the planet and it's only because we live within a bubble of incredible privilege and social insulation that we still have the luxury of anticipating the apocalypse. If you go to Bosnia or Somalia or Peru or much of the third-world then it appears that the apocalypse has already arrived.

  If you believe something, you're automatically precluded from believing in the opposite, which means that a degree of your human freedom has been forfeited in the act of this belief.

  Awesome statements.... !

  Thanks for sharing.
