Huge shock!
by Crumpet ini just got a major shock.
i can't believe the new levels of cruelty possible within families who are jws.. a friend on this board who i've known since i was a baby practically has managed to get me a picture of my little sister who i haven't seen for 8 years - the one who i've mentioned my dad said was working on the bethel quick build team.
the one who i've described my fears that she and my younger sister are staying single until armageddon.

I wouldn't really consider it shunning...it's just not throwing more good after bad if you know what I mean. I also understand completely about not 'liking' where you're at now or 'who' you are...I hit that point in April of this year...All I knew was that this was not what I figured my life would be like. But change can come! Fear not yon Crumpet! Just take it in small steps...and know that you've got a support group! :) But I would text him and let him know what I was doing... "Due to the unloving and callous way you have treated me since I've decided my own life's path would be different from that of my family's I have decided to cease contact with you. Every time contact is made it seems to go badly and I no longer want the stress of that in my life." I see it is acting instead of reacting. I'm not even saying to actually go through with it but I wonder how your father would react being on the 'receiving' end for once in his life. Maybe he won't care...maybe it will assuage his guilt in shunning you, but ultimately it could clean up your life a bit. Oh yeah...this is a most awesome religion.

Anyone leave the JW's and Still Follow Some of the Beliefs?
by lynnmelo inmany of you have seen my posts in the last week or two, but for those who haven't, here's my story in brief: i've been studying with the jw's for a couple of years, but just had too many doubts to commit.
those doubts were solidified when i discovered this site.
now i've decided not to commit.. however, i still believe in some of the things that the jw's believe.

I don't follow any of the JW dogma. I don't fault any that still do cling to certain things that they may have gleened from the organization. It's all about the comfort zone. I just tend to look at things realistically, here. So much of our traditions are based in pagan origins.
Heck, even our general ideology of what god looks like, or what we show god looking like when we depict him in art. Strong man, white robes, beard and long flowing white hair, grandfatherly air to him, strong and powerful - why, that's Zeus!
It's only natural that much of our modern day religions are steeped in Ancient 'paganism.' How easier was it to get people to convert when you pulled a little of their religion into yours? voila! new traditions.
I just take things for face value. Birthdays...I'm not worshipping anyone! Come on for crying out loud, which of us really worship the person we're singing happy birthday to?
Christmas? Again, I'm not christian, but I celebrate it. I like getting together with family, enjoying the season, celebrating in the 'darkness' of winter...it's a winter solstice celebration...we're celebrating that soon life will return to the 'world' in the form of spring! maybe that makes me a hypocrit in celebrating a 'christian holiday' when I don't buy into the holiness of Christ, but it makes me happy, and I don't get a lot of that through the year. It's something to look forward to.
I'm not going to go through all the holidays, but i'm sure everyone gets my drift. I just want peeps to be happy. If you're happy celebrating, great...if not, that's great too. I just bear in mind that this is my one shot here. I want to live life to the fullest and with no regrets...and since I've left the bOrg...I've had none.

Oh Crumpie ::HUGS::
Have you thought about text messaging him and shunning him? It seems like everytime you do 'hear' from your father it's always 'bad news.' I'm only saying this from an emotionless standpoint here...i know you are very hurt and upset by this inhuman deception and you have every right to be. 1 Cor. 15:33. Useful habits here is well, you're miserable right now...you're not in your crumpet zone. You don't need this kind of hurt and nonsense. Better no family then a family that lives to make you suffer, like somehow you'll realize that you made a mistake and go back to the vomit.
Just a thought.

Out of the Mouth of Babes...
by RichieRich inso this week on the service meeting there was a part in the km about divine education.
true to form, it was another anti-college, pro-pioneering propaganda piece put out by our buddies in brooklyn.. in the third paragraph, it babbled forth about how colleges and universities don't teach people to overcome racism, tribalism, and something else.
(someone please post scan on dec. 2005 km front page).

My brother was homeschooled up unto the point that my father was Df'd, my mother DA'd and they divorced in a supernovic fashion. They tried to pull me out of school as well to homeschool me, but with being in highschool and pretending to be the perfect dubling, I was able to argue my way out of it. But my mother did pull my brother out of elementary school to keep him pure and clean...cause he didn't need to be around all of those bad influences. And boy was she pissed that I managed to convince my father (the spiritual head of the house) to keep me in regular school.
However, when my brother went back to regular school he almost failed his first quarter/all of his classes. He had to get extracurricular tutoring to bring him up to speed. The only thing he was really good in was math (My father is a math wiz and an awesome tutorer.) So it's a great thing for children...to cripple them in all sorts of academic areas. Yeah Dub!

What's the worst response a person ever said to you in the field service?
by JH ini remember knocking on a door in the field service, and the girl who answered the door, looked at me and said in french, "allez vous faire crosser" .
although i didn't laugh, i found it very funny.
the brother with me also had a smile on his face, but didn't say a word, as we walked back to the car.

It's not what the guy said...it was the aura off of him.
I went to a door...I was 16 at the time, and working with another sister that I went to high school with. This man opened the door and I literally sucked in my breath. My little voice in the back of my head that we beat into submission while in the bOrg? Yeah it was screaming at me to get the he// away from this man.
He looked like Charles Manson. Oh not like him...but the same crazy shaggy unkempt hair and those souless eyes. He had tattoos all over him. I love tattoos....I do not like tattoos of swastikas, satanic symbols, and gore. He wore around his neck necklaces with inverted pentacles, bones and what appeared to be human teeth.
I don't know...I just got the most serious heebee-geebies I had ever experienced. It was 95 degrees in July and I got 'violent' goosebumps, like my skin hurt from it. My faithful dub friend was oblivious to the vibes. I simply said, "I'm terribly sorry to have disturbed you. I hope you have a nice day." And turned to walk away. Boy did I get chewed out and called a coward for that one, but I've never gone wrong listening to that inner-voice.
