  i can't believe it, but i missed my first memorial!!!.

  i wasn't sure what was going to happen, until it was past the time to get ready and leave.

  What a great journey you have embarked on! Its sometimes very hard and scary at times and yet your own honesty tells you it was the only right thing for you to do once you possesed the real truth. Time is wonderful at getting you through the difficulties that come from the slow but rewarding shedding of the JW mindset.

  Well done you, thanks for sharing the experience here with us all and keep us informed on how your going.

  This would be a good Question from readers about Judicial Committees

  by scrubmaster in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  .

  this would be a good questions from readers.......having read several scriptures about how the judges heard judicial case in the public court yard..so that all would see that true justice was served and know why a person was being stoned if it should come to type of punishment...what scriptural bases does the society have for conducting judicial cases in secret and then expect everyone to shun(stone) some one with out knowing what the crime was.

  i would love so see what scriptures if any they could come up with.

  If you think about it, the fact that a JC is done in secret is another reason to be in fear - if you make it through without being DF, you are so scared anyone will ever find out about you, further creating that controlled environment.

  How Were You Affected By Elder/Ministerial Servants/Pioneer Appointments?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  were you ever affected by seeing a man or even a teenager being made a ministerial servant or a young man being appointed an elder-----knowing that the person is not really qualified?

  you could be thinking, "i can't believe he gets to be an elder when my husband (or brother or father or friend) is doing everything but headstands for the elders!

  " when such appointments were made did you see to it that you would not go to that person for direction or counsel?

  Yes it did bother me at the time, to see certain people 'pushed forward', those that Elders liked etc. It was one of the things I could never strive after personally as I never felt I would do the appointment justice being a sinner, knowing i might feel a hypocrite, I now realise it was the guilt thing that made me feel that way.

  Do you not care anymore?

  by Pleasuredome in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has anyone here got to the stage where they just dont care about the wts anymore?

  whether they exist or disband, whether its about doctrine and dogma, attitudes, flip-flops, what they think of you, scandles etc.

  would this be the end goal of recovering from the jws?

  On a personal level I dont care about it now, I really feel i've turned a corner. But as far as others (my children included) I do care as I see them following a similar path to the one I did which scares me

  many years ago while driving with some jw friends in the car we stopped to get sodas.

  one of the jw's finishes her soda, opens the car door and tosses out the can.

  i was incredulous and said, "what are you doing?

  I have to say there is very little discussion that I ever recall if ever about doing our bit for the environment. They control every part of a witnesses life so how come its not encouraged to have cleaner cars and solar power or something? Its almost like if we do something about it we are not leaving it to Jehovah, and yet surely we all have a responsibility to look after this planet.

  My daughter had a word with me

  by cyberdyne systems 101 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i went to collect my two daughters last night and my eldest (8) wanted to have a private word with me.

  she took me upstairs to her room and said she didnt want me to get her birthday presents as she would be pleasing satan!

  although a little taken aback about the fear and attitude her mother and the wts are instilling in her, i simply asked her if it was her fault that i choose to celebrate the day of my daughters birth, like she has some control over people's gift giving?

Although a little taken aback about the fear and attitude her mother and the WTS are instilling in her, I simply asked her if it was her fault that I choose to celebrate the day of my daughters birth, like she has some control over people's gift giving? And would she go up to class mates and say dont send me an xmas card? I then said Jehovah doesn't condemn Birthdays its the WTS that does, and if she could show me in the Bible that it is forbidden i would gladly never celebrate it again.

  I dont like the fact that her mother and me have different views and it must be difficult for her to know which way to turn, but my feeling is to simply tell her the facts, not be slating the WTS but informing her of the alternatives, showing her that the Bible can say whatever the interpretor can make it say.

  dear all,.

  i thought i'd best make a new thread rather than add my message to the vigil thread, for example, as it might not otherwise get noticed.. yesterday afternoon i was allowed home from the hospital - but only until wednesday morning!

  as many of you will know, i have been in christie cancer hospital in manchester, england, ready to undergo a stem cell transplant (in my case, stem cells taken from my blood to be returned later).
