This is something that I feel really passionate about. I hate being labeled an apostate by JW's. I don't like the term and even they themselves have the definition wrong according to the bible. It is an extreemly loaded word as far as JW's are concerned & it is effective in stopping JW's considering certain peoples experiences & opinions. So the next time a JW tells you that you are reading 'apostate' websites/books or that you are yourself an 'apostate', can we tell them that the websites etc are merely the opinions & experiences of ex-JW's. Literally using that expresion has helped me discuss matters with JW's. In their mind, they are more willing to listen to you after giving this brief description/explanation of those whom you have came into contact with in the EX-JW world. Anyone else feel that this is effective?

Did Your Mom and Dad Tell You " I Love You " Growing Up - and as an Adult?
by flipper inthree simple but very powerful words .
my son and i working together last night on my jobs talked about this very subject.
i told him that although my witness mom was always affectionate , and tells me and my siblings she loves us , my elder father has only told me that he loves me once or twice , if that - my entire life.

My mum & dad never said it mauch at all but I knew that they loved me. It may have been a generation thing. I am literally so emotional when it comes to my own kids. Sometimes I can just look at them & I feel like crying. I just love them so much. I always kiss them both, a lot, each day & tell them that I love them. I would like to think that we will always be close.

I remember beung totally burned out trying to get to meetings & ministry, prepare talks & items etc. Add to that the emotional toll of wht they fill your head with. I really felt knackered all the time. Under pressure & unhappy. Now, I work hard & I am tired a lot but I don't have the emotional baggage of 'nothings ever good enough' to deal with. I like my life now.

Ninj mate, I have a T shirt with electric soup on it. Diggers 80 shilling is what we call that through here. You will have some when you come through to Tynie. Superb stuff. The T shirt is nice as well.

In all honesty, there is nothing worse than those that say they believe the truth whilst living like the rest of us. Most JW's are hypocrites. And I mean MOST.
