  Letter to family - first draft

  by sass_my_frass in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after a few weeks of being very angry with everybody, making an ass of myself, and being rotten company, a few people told me to start sorting this hurt and anger out, and an effective way is to direct it to the people who caused it - the people who shun me.

  so i might send them this, or some version of this, in a while.

  in october we're going to the other side of the country where they all live, to see my darling nan and maybe close things with the witnesses for good.

  HELP.... kingdom hall to be erected in my community....town meeting!

  by meljon in

  just spoke with the mayor of our town about a notice in this mornings paper, re the jws are applying to build a hall in our community,,,,,,,,, would anyone care to comment on what they would say at this meeting?

  i mentioned to him that it is a cult and i do not want it in our town.

  he admitted he didnt know much about the jws and their beliefs and i told him about the abuse and actions being handled by the elders and not the police and also the non government views.

  hey all,.

  most of you know the story, havnt spoken to my folks for nearly 8 months after another argument as to why they could not been seen in public with my fiance (now hubby) and i as it would be seen agreeing with my decision to marry a "worldly" man.. i kind of got the hint it was for good when i didnt get an invite to the memorial, even if we are not talking at the time my dad always sends a written invite.. my nan has been really sick so she has been staying at my mums so i decided to text my mum yesterday to see how she is going.

  bout 6:30 my mob rings and its my mum i was shocked but also excited to hear her voice....but instead it was my nan.

  Anyone do Charity work?????

  by whyamihere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there is a few things that i am involved in, and have been for quite sometime.

  i feel that it is important to raise my children in this type of environment, so that they see outside of the box, and not be so closed minded on our surroundings.

  many are in need, and it is easy to close our eyes and forget.. my main charity work will always benefit children.. this weekend i have gathered many things from my house such as kids clothes, shoes, jackets...and i bought many blankets, cook ware, along with money etc... this will all go to easter seals.

  How secure are the GB?

  by vitty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was thinking today, how secure are the governing body?

  with all the hatred they have created over the years it wouldnt take much to send someone over the top and try to "exterminate" the ones who they feel are responsible for maybe a ruined marriage or life.. i cetainly wouldnt want to be in their shoes.

  but i wounder how they feel, do you think they feel secure and safe.

  Reasoning with the Witnesses - for newbies.

  by FreeWilly in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after reading experiences and correspondence that some have posted on this site i think it might be a good idea to share what has been somewhat effective in conversations with entrenched jw family and friends.

  when i was just "waking up" my mind was so occupied with the things i learned that i paid little attention to how i presented my point of view to jw's.

  i often employed the "shot-gun" approach using the research i unveiled along with a healthy dose of outrage.
