Im sorry honey. Always remember its the Watchtower's fault she is shunning you, not hers. She has been brainwashed into thinking her words and conduct are pleasing God.
Pray to the creator of the universe to squash the lying Watchtower.

letter from my MOM(response to COC)
by purplesofa inpurplesofa, .
thanks for sharing this book with me.
although i'm sure this book is accurate and these things have happened within the governing body, it did happen a long time ago and even the "annoited" are imperfect men.. after alot of thought and prayer i chose to stay a witness- an active witness to my ability which is now limited.

Have you ever forgotten your baby was in the car?
by changeling inwhat's up with this wave of people forgetting their babies are in the car?
i'm a certifiable dingbat but i never forgot my kids were in the car.
if i ever did, i can't see it happening for more than a few minutes and then running back to the car to get them.

By the time I was 7 my mom was a full blown drunk and I and my brother were left for hours while she visited bars and other alcoholic's homes.
But at 7 we were not babies and we would finally go into the bar and get her. They would yell at her to go home and take care of us. After a while she would drive us all home and pass out on the floor.
With wonderful early memories like this I forgive myself for joining the JWs. -

how was it for you.....
by Iron Rod ini have a question for everyone regarding your personal experience with the brainwashing techniques of the wt.
(its amazing that i can even say that now.
once was a time i would have bristled at the mere suggestion that the society brainwashes people.

I was absolutely duped!
I was recruited at 17 years of age while still attending high school.
The year was 1972 and the witnesses, all of them, were "aglow with the spirit"!
It was a crazy exciting time in the cult!
Armageddon was imminent! 1975 was coming! Be busy in the Lord's work!
I had no time for doubts.
After a few years when the big A did not come, I was so wrapped up in the cult and so brainwashed and so invested in the people and lifestyle I just grabbed at any and all backsliding explanations they spewed
to cover for their false prophecy.
I did not escape until 2001 when I had a breakdown and was dfd.
All I ever wanted was a happy family life like the pictures in their literature. -

Presiding Overseer's wife publically reproved.
by ThomasCovenant inlatest gossip round these here parts is that the wife of the presiding overseer has been 'publically reproved'.
nothing has filtered through about what the 'crime' was yet.. they are a young couple and he appears to me to be very conscientious in doing his best for the brothers.
i feel sorry for them as i have seen the pressure on them to juggle the demands of the cong with his wife who i think may suffer from depression.. thanks.

Oh God, it makes me shudder to think what is going on in their household.
If he didnt voluntarily step down BEFORE she got to this point, then he is reluctant to do so. He may very well blame her for any demotion he might suffer.
Hers is a cry for help no doubt. She was obviously repentant or they would have dfd her like they did me.
To my credit, God knows I was repentant a little. But really I, like her too Im sure, wanted my marriage back! After 15 years of my husband being an elder I had sacrificed enough weekends and summers and week nights to the organization. What did we have to show for it? Nothing! It was all locked up in some vague promise of paradise tomorrow, tomorrow, always tomorrow. I saw us get gray hair and start to wear glasses and our dogs die and our fathers die and friends move away and we made no memories together.
Oh thank God we were invited to some weddings and baby showers OR WE WOULD HAVE HAD NO MEMORIES OF OUTTINGS TOGETHER AT ALL! The honest to God truth is our memories together are of field service standing at stranger's doors together. After 20 years of marriage isnt that too sad?
THANKYOU WATCHTOWER SOCIETY FOR THAT MARRIAGE GIFT!!! -

nine pages of BS from October AWAKE
by purplesofa ini hope that some of you lurkers out here really take a look at some of the thread in this section of the board.
this awake magazine says not one thing about how families are asked to trust their elders and how these very elders were and are abusing their children.
it mentions nothing about watching out for these trusted men in the congregations.............oh it brings out the internet, other family members and fathers and males in particular.. it will tell you how much your child needs to do to prevent something like this from happening.

Yes, they are pointing to the pedophilia outside the organization as the danger.
Poor poor poor JWs! Completely duped by the same organization they are slaving for.
"Get out of her my people!" "Quit touching the unclean thing!"
Get out of false religion! Get free! Serve God with your beautiful heart!
And protect your precious families! -

He just strode right in there and made a big announcement!
That just smacks of false worship and blasphemy and cultism!
That guy was so revered. But that is how it goes with humans. We put individuals on the pedestal and soon they start dictating new made up stuff to us and we wonder "how does this happen?"
Hey put me on the pedestal and I'll start spoutin some doozys Im sure.
You cant give people so much power.
