My Story "this is long, I'm sorry"

by ex-nj-jw in

i'm not sure i ever really posted my story.

i think i've given bit's and pieces on others threads but not the whole thing on my own thread.

the issue that another member is having with childcare and yet another poster asking me why i'm still here after being out for 24 years has prompted me to type this up.. so here goes:.

Lurkers and JWs: Are you in the truth?

by AuldSoul in

jesus said, "i am the way, the truth, and the life.

" he didn't say he had the way, or that he had the truth, or that he had the life.. according to the bible, jesus is the truth; if you know the truth, the truth will set you free.. jehovah's witnesses set their dogma and religion in the place of jesus.

they refer to their dogma and religion by a role that jesus said he would personally fulfill; they call it "the truth.".

JESUS IS THE MYTH... not the truth!

may need some help soon

by Missanna in

ok so i send my father a letter telling him several reasons i do not believe the witnesses are jehovah's organization.i also told my father at the end of the letter that i was setting some boundaries once and for all.

that i would not be emotionally blackmailed or verbally abused anymore that if he wanted to talk to me as a father then i welcome that and if he can't do that then i do not wish to comunicate with him.

i sent it about a week ago and was waiting for all hell to break loose but nothing happend.

My Theory

by Princess Daisy Boo in

i have had this theory for a very long time and i would like to hear what everyone has to say about this.. i think that people are either inherantly religious or not.

if they are inherantly religious, then the wtbts will naturally apeal to them, all the deep in depth study and the bible analysis and so on.

they feel the need to look to a higher source for fulfilment.. and then there are those that are not inherantly religious... the ones the prefer to concentrate on the here and now.

I WAS very religious from the time I was small, but now I'm an athiest with nothing but disdain for any and all religions. So, am I inherently religious or not? I think religiousness is more a matter of nurture rather than nature.

My hubby just laid down some rules to my elder dad

by Es in

recently an elder called mike's mob phone wanting to speak to me, the only person who could have passed on that info was my elder dad.

mike has been waiting for my dad to call him to arrange to see the kids, as he wont deal with me at all.

so mike said to him i dont appreciate you giving our number out to the elders, we want nothing to do with them or your religion etc... mike than called me and said there was so much more i wanted to tell him.. i get a phone call about 30 mins later, mike had rang my dad and said if you want to see your grandkids then there are a few rules you will need to follow, 1. dont ever give out our personal details (which my dad apologised for and acknowldeged that he shouldnt have done that ) and 2. if you want to see your grandkids you need to speak to your daughter, you can msg her phone or even speak to her.

way to go Mike! Now stick to it, and don't get soft with them.
