  2. family

  ughhhhh, i left "the truth" when i was 16 i had my daughter when i was 18. while is was finishing college my mother watched my daughter for me , so they are very very close.

  well whenever my daughter goes to visit usualy about a week at a time my mother takes her to the hall .

  she fills her head with the doctrine and tells her that ill say bad things about it and scares her into not telling me about it .

  witnoid weddings

  by katiekitten in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i was a kid weddings in the troof were a big deal.

  probably because they were the main if not only excuse for a knees up.

  if someone was getting married they were not in control of the decisions about the reception.

  What did shunning do to you?

  by hillary_step in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there can be little doubt that the wts 'shunning' policy is a dangerous weapon.

  each year tens of thousands of people are disfellowshipped, and experience the reality of being shunned.

  many of them still believing the wts doctrine that if they die in this condition they will shortly be executed by god at har-meggedon and die an eternal and disgraceful death some leaving the faith altogether.

  Why are honest questions considered apostasy?

  by Rayvin in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this is why as i was growing up (raised in "the truth") i never asked questions.

  i never understood the birthday issue among other holidays.

  i never asked because i was scared i would be looked at as an apostate or as someone being worn down by the wicked association.

  **MUST READ** AlanF's email to Knocking.org

  by sf in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is a must-read that, hopefully, will stay an "active topic" for all seekers and lurkers, by bumping it to the top as often as possible.

  alan wrote it in randys {dogpatch} thread regarding knocking.org documentary and in reply to the email mr. engardio sent to barbara anderson.

  however, it is so vital a read that it indeed needs its own thread:.

  Are you a blood donor?

  by TonyT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a couple of years ago, the red cross had several blood donation trailers set up at a festival .

  since i had time to kill, i donated.

  it seems like there is always a critical blood supply shortage hard to deal with?
