i know a fellow who like me, was born into the jws.
his father (a long time elder) and mother are both hard core jws.
let's call him "robert.
Just be careful. I remember when I first found this site and I really wanted to shout to the world about the JW bullshit. But my one brother is still very strong in the "truth". One of my other brothers who is also out, told me to cool it because my brother was starting to get the feeling I was apostate!! He was afraid my brother would stop speaking to me..
So go slowly because you just never know with JW's
Just my 2cents.

i was out with some jw friends.
one elder, 3 ministerial servants, and lowly fading inactive publisher missinglink in a car looking for something fun to do.
we saw someone paragliding off a mountain.
Hi Blondie, I am not sure where you got the articles from, could you let exactly.
I have been out so long but constantly fight with my JWdad who's an elder, and my brother who was removed and now back as a MS. I really just can't believe they write this $hit!!!
could someone please tell me when the long island, ny assembly is and where.... thanks.

i would be interested in getting people's input in why so many jws - including me from time to time, though less so now - seem to be burdened by guilt after they've left, even after they've successfully faded and aren't being hassled by family or elders.
is it a residual leftover of the indoctrination over the years?
i welcome your comments.
I have no guilt, I am sometimes ashamed that I don't have enough knowledge of history to stand up to them in a converstion. I mostly deal with being afraid of a lot of things. I had to really work through it for my kids sake. My husband thinks I am so nuerotic and anxious for no reason. I think it is because of my JW upbringing and worried about everyone. It sucks!!
it was two years and two months ago when i told my mother that i no longer recognize the wts religion as being "the truth.
" as you may know, to a jw mother, this is like telling her you've decided to jump off a skyscraper.
i have spoken to her only two times since then, and have not seen her or my dad since then.
I am a big DMB fan also. Was suppose to catch them Jun 14th at Hartford but had to sell the tickets because my sons band was asked to play at a party and we were also invited.(bummer).
Anyway the way you expressed yourself to your mom sounded of someone who has lost the guilt and just speaks the truth. If you deal with her and your dad with love and kindness they will have a wonderful visit and of course be wanting more..I wish you a wonderful and peaceful visit with them..

I wonder what the congregation thinks of the fact they go to a private school? We are also very near a kingdom hall that people from Patterson go to...
