hey all, i usually pop into my folks once a week so that my son can see his grandparents.
anyway last week my dad asked if i wanted to go to a country show\fete with them on sat , so anyway a couple of days later i emailed my mum to see whether my fiance (non jw) could come too.. this is the email i received today.
as you are going to be busy over the next few weeks, we dont want to put added pressure on you, dont feel you have to come to the show.plus we have already explained the situation regarding mike we dont have anything against him personally, but the situation is difficult for us regards associating with him as your fiance because it would be viewed as our supporting your decision to marry out of the truth.
ES, I'm sorry to hear that. Witnesses can be so hard core even if they are family members. I've been going through similar crap from my qwn family and I've just about had it with them. I have been preparing a good honest letter for them for a while and will mail it soon. Unfortunately you can't reason with them. Just make sure you take care of you and yours.
Best Wishes

Welcome onesong, I learned long ago that the elders done mind you asking questions as long as you don't question their answers. Stick around, you'll learn a lot here.
hello everyone..i just wanted to introduce myself and tell you a little bit about my experiences.. i'm 23, have been raised in the truth all my life.
when i was 18, i made a foolish decision to get married, something i knew deep down i wasn't ready for, still being very much in the 'bloom of youth'.
i reluctantly saw my future as being one of jehovahs witnesses and with all my adolescent drives, i moved away from home to marry a man with about the same maturity as me.
Welcome Riko,
Unfortunately your story is a familiar theme that runs through the Watchtower. Stick around, there are many fine people here who understand and will give support.
time??
?
I would try to impregnate my wife so a piece of me would live on. And if it didn't work, at least I could say I died trying!

evanescence *wish there were voting polls on this forum

2. Coke Classic

this is a question i have had for over 13 years, since i first found out that rutherford had a house, named beth sarim, built for him in san diego.
where did the money come from for the 100 acres of land the house was situated upon, and for the design and construction of the house?
in the proclaimer's book, it is said that a "direct contribution" was made for the house.
I'm not sure if this will help you, but I have a copy of the original deed along with copies of other deeds that show the changing of ownership. If you want, you can IM me with your adress and I will make copies and mail them to you.
as you know, my twin daughters, recently got baptised.
they are now shunning me.
i hadn't seen them in person for about 3 weeks.
I'm so sorry to hear about that, but unfortunately that's what the watchtower trains their members to do. It cuts to bone when you're being shunned, especially by family members. The same thing has been going on for me for the past ten years. It's disgusting ! That's why I always expose the Watchtower for what they are at every oportunity.
Best Wishes
all the jws that i know of look miserable.
they look burdened, tired and hopeless.
do you see any happy witnesses?
Honestly....the only happy witnesses are the pedophile witnesses who know they are protected in their pedophile paradise.
.
please tell me that not all men are only interested in the size of a girls chest.. come on you men, restore my faith in males.
Breasts are great, but remember......they're attached to someone. You've got to get to know who that someone is because breasts are only part of the package.
no long...... "see you later's"....just bye bye.. .
my time has come to leave this place.
thanks for the memories, good times, and useful information.. .
Geez Zev....Mrs Apostanator and I are going to miss you !! You and Gwen were one of the first people we met that were ex-jw's. All in All, I'm a little jealous seeing that you're able to move on in your "Watchtower free life" ( I'm not quite there yet and wish I was at the same place as you ) Loved your posts and will miss them. Best of luck !!!
The Apostanators
