Hey guys

thanks for all your replies!!.....

get this, the awful disaster (Tsunami ) that happened last december, well apparently, at the exact time there was a meeting being held in the kingdom hall and those that refused to go got washed away (for want of better words)!! and those who decided to attended the kindom hall God saved them!.... that's what my sis is believing anyway!! and you know what if they told her the local tesco's was managed by aliens, she prob would believe that too!!!

can i ask! (cos am not that brainy either).... the abbreviations i've come accross on the site, like Dub, and pioneer what do they mean??

this site has been a great help, and given me lots of information (i like to think of it as ammunition) so thanks

hey, and thanks for the replies....

when she started on about the UN, and that it says it in the bible! i was like "where in the bible does it say anything about the UN" and she proceeded to open something that said about the Wild Beast, how did they make that connection???.... if you could tell me how they were secretely connected (jw + UN) just so i can say that to her, next time she starts at me with her verbal diarrhoea!!

We still love her and will always stand by her, but as a family we've stopped discussing religion, but anyway getting to the reason why i feel i need to post, because they were told the the end is near (i know they've been saying this for decades, but i get the feeling something was announced at the weekend)... she has no interest in getting him to study, or work hard at school!! keeping in mind he's 11 and can't subtract?... thats not good!....

BTW, after our heated discussion, she went home and told my mam, i'm a staunch catholic!! and HEY i'm proud of it!

if any of you have some websites that will give me some info..... or whats the best way to navigate this site, any topics that might be of interest to me?

If you don't mind also telling me, what was the turning point in making you wan\t to leave this cult??

cheers again, really appreciate the replies....

I would like to know from some of you, what made you leave the JW?

ALso, one of my nephews is coming up to the age of puberty (sorry don't mean to get too deep) but i am afraid of how she is going to approach the time in his life?... she has changed so much, and doesn't make any decision without searching the bible first!! and i'm just too afraid that she'll say some awful things about sexuality to him, when infact its only normal and natural at that age?

any help, answers or information is greatly accepted!!

thanks in advance

I am new here, former JW left years ago.

by out of the box in

i want to discuss my experiences with the witnesses.

how it began: i was recruited during the time i was escaping from a violent husband to a shelter.

a witness came to my door as i was preparing to move during the day without him knowing (while he was at work).
