  Dealing with my mother

  by SickofLies in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my mom knows that i really don't believe that the jw's have the 'truth' and she is always telling me to just give it more time and i'll snap out of it.

  she thinks i'm going through a stage right now and i'll 'grow out of it' and eventually i'll want to return to the religion.

  i try to reasure her that such hopes are futile, but often my conversations go like this:.

  I was kinda down and out today....

  so i went for a ride and stopped by this scenic overlook not to far from my house.

  i sat on the bench there just looking at the mohawk valley at its best.

  i started thinking what a waste life is when you don't have anyone to share beautiful moments like this with.

  Do not Disassociate, Anull your baptism

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am now a jedi, so trust me on this.. .

  why dis-associate, you are just playing by the wts rules?

  how can you dis-associate anyway, you never thought you were baptised as a watchtower society member, you thought your dedication was to god, so why formally disassociate from something you did not formally join?

  What happened in the 80's?

  by Virgochik in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  various posters have mentioned how get-togethers and fun times socializing were frowned upon and discouraged somewhere around the early 80's.

  everything changed, as far as the picnics, the dinner parties, etc.

  i vaguely recall some connection being made to parties and increased "immorality.

  What is spirituality?

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what does it mean to be spiritual?

  jws do not seem to have very much of it.

  they talk reguarly about god, but they can not have a real relationship with jesus, can only approach jehovah through jesus, with the wts somewhere in between and do not believe in the holy spirit as a person.

  I am hurt, my wife had a miscarriage and still my family didn't contact me

  by jwfacts in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  two weeks ago my wife had a miscarriage at 11 weeks.

  it is very sad as it was to be my first child and my wife is already 39. what hurt the most though is that none of my immediate family contacted me.

  i was d/f in january and did not expect to hear regularly from my parents and sister.

  Creative House-to-House Time Wasting Manuevers

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  anyone here master the art of pressing in the doorbell without really pressing it?

  how about knocking where it seems loud on the outside, but you know it can't be heard on the inside.

  or standing at a door for up to 5 minutes when you know nobody was there.

  within a few weeks i leased a condo on the banks of the willamette river just out side the city of portland.

  as she got into her car she looked at me funny again, laughed and just shook her head.. .

  i told him that if i said i was sorry, i knew that is what they wanted to hear but it was not the truth.
