Help!!

by mamabear in

i have been df'd for 10 years and decided today that i want to be undisfellowshiped.

i don't want to be reinsted, obviously.

i am meeting with the elders on sunday..

you've heard about jesus.. you've choosen to believe or not to believe.. you've accepted jesus or you haven't.. let's say jesus came down now for his people.what would you do or say to jesus if you now know he is true?

(keeping in mind that god is the judge and some people will go to heaven and most will burn in hell!!).

I would ask him what he would do with all the homophobics, and also the people who judge other people and feed their line of BS

Obituaries for deceased JWs

by Nosferatu in

i have been slowly preparing myself for when my jw mother dies.

she has diabetes, and she's not taking care of it.

she continues to eat and drink heavily sugared foods.

My Mom died last month. She had been a JW for 40 years. I could not bury her in that faith as the family doesn't share the same death thoughts. All we said in the paper was that she was a deeply religious person. We buried her though our church. The JW'S have a talk at the hall so they are free to do that. The family thought about making her funeral private but thought we have nothing to fear. And funerals are for the living so we didn't want all those people telling us there scoop on death.

In your case, if you have a wake and then the funeral, why not give the wake service to the JW'S and have the funeral in your faith. You could say the funeral will be private and tell all family members where it will be. The JW'S can feed there brand of crap-o-la at the wake service. Just a thought.......take care and good luck. It is good to plan what you are going to do ahead of time, makes it easier.

Blood giving =ed LIBERATION

by bem in

i had to share a moment from my life that came today!!

it was one of those inspiring things that hits you like a lead balloon, you know the feeling?

like good grief that is awesome, to have something that should be so obvious, but so elusive that you hadn't noticed it till now.. when i was growing up it was mentioned how family members ( not raised a jw) had needed blood and different ones gave blood and felt good about themselves for having made the effort to make the donation.

Here I am now pleased to be making a effort to save lives instead of praying for their destruction

I thought you were right on the money with this one, you should be pleased!

Studying the WT

by startingover in

my loyal dub wife is careful not to flaunt her jw activities in front of me.

whenever she prepares a talk or does any studying, it is at a time when i'm not around.

she always leaves for the meetings with a smile, so she does not try to guilt me in any way.. yesterday i came home unexpectedly and she was studying her wt for the afternoon meeting.

Do you have children? In my family Mom was a JW and Dad was not religious. He kind of followed with the JW'S but was not a follower. Anyhow all the five kids in my family feel that JW'S wrecked there childhoods. I don't really feel that way but always felt a different because of this cult way of living. Just wanted to share...........if you don't have kids please think before you make them.....

What do you do with all your old Watchtowers and Awake magazines?

by DaveNwisconsin in

last month my jw mother died and suddenly we have years worth of these marked up, highlighted magazines.

i thought about throwing them out but then thought maybe i could make christmas decorations for my tree next year out of them.

how about a list of things i can do with moms old cult books and magazines?

DaveNwisconsin

Rebel I like that idea even if it makes me feel just a little crappy! I would hate to think I am wiping with something that could definately scratch the skin!

Well that all sounds fine but I really want some creative ideas on what to do. I will think about Ebay, do you get more for them than the dime they cost when you get them at the door?
