  A funny SDA JW tale

  by barry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my dad is her in canberra staying with us and tonight i mentioned about how i get on jwd and how this site works.. he told me a great storey tonight about some sdas collecting for a charity over in wagga nsw where he onced lived.. anyway this bloke was going door to door trying to get donations he had a bag just like jws carry.

  the going was hard people didnt want to even talk to him and being a good salesperson as he was in his regular job he couldnt understand the hostility.

  anyway he decided he would tackle this problem head on at the very next door.

  When a jw has a major fall out within the congregation...

  by Check_Your_Premises in

  .... how often does it lead to an eventual exit?.

  i know some real nice, joined as adult jw's who have had a major fallout with their cong.. they are model, idealistic jw's.

  but politics between these folks and an elder led to him being summarily stripped of his "privileges".

  I agree, the elders can really harp on them, make life generally miserable...then they may start some questioning. Hopefully!

  What success have you had getting your family out of the truth?

  untitled document <!-- .style1 {font-family: verdana} .style2 {font-family: verdana; font-style: italic; } --> your family and the watchtower society many individuals on this discussion board have close family relations.

  that still belong to the watchtower society.

  your family still attend all the meetings and still consider themselves.

  at least 10 stingrays have been found dead and mutilated on australia's eastern coast since crocodile hunter steve irwin was killed by one of the animals last week.

  the killings have prompted fears of "revenge attacks" against the normally docile fish.

  i was born into a violent abusive JW family

  by ania in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the abuser was my father, we were all (7 children) abused severely (including our mother) as a child i did not understand what exactly was going on but after many years of councelling and so-forth (my counceller tells me, my case is the most severe she has had in her 12 years as a counceller) i discovered that my father was (is) a sado-masichist.

  he got sexual enjoyment from beating us all.

  i already knew this to an extent i just never realised there was actually a name for what he got out of it.. after 20 odd years of this abuse, my mother had tried to go through the right channels (the elders, in several congregations we moved to etc) in order to get permission to take her children and live separate to her husband who was a constant threat to our very lives (he was a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic & incrediably unpredictable) she was however told time and again that if she left her husband she and her unbaptised children (under 18) would most certainly lose out on everlasting life.

  i am 32 weeks pregnant and it is 3:30 in the morning and i can;t sleep because no matter what position i am in, either my back hurts or my legs go numb.

  i have heartburn raging like a wild beast with seven horns upon its head.

  my fingers look and feel like sausages, my feet are burning up and two sizes bigger than normal and i still have 8 weeks to go.

  I think part of it is that it has been sooo blasted hot this summer..It has made me miserable, I can;t wait for the fall weather to kick in.

  No, I am not near Emmet...I am clear up in Coeur D Alene.

  Sad thread. my cat is dead. looking for sympathy.

  by avengers in

  to all of you who know what it is to miss a loved pet.. i never knew in all my jdubb years that it can hurt so much when an animal dies.

  i never knew that a man could get attached to a cat.

  when i was a dubb i would not allow the kids to have a housepet 'cause then you couldn't spend as much time in service.

  I have been checked, and I am fine. My whole family has large babies. Both my brother and I were nearly 10 lbs. We are a sturdy lot. My husbands side is the same...pretty sturdy (not fat mind you, just tall and healthy). He was a 10 pounder, as was his brother. My daughter was 9 lbs 10 oz. I don' t know why so big. I am 6' and most of my family is pretty tall, his family is tall as well, except him, he is only 5'10". I think I just have the big ones.

  hey all, .

  i was raised as a jw, did what my parents who have been in it since there teens.

  got baptized at 15, pretty much my whole only child witness life was spent alone, i never had any close jw friends, because everyone in our congregation were so cliquey.anyways i stopped really attending meetings at age 19, when my best friend got df, i had already gotten privately reproved and i was upset and how they handled things with me, so i just told my mom i wasn't going to be a hyprocrit, and go to meetings and pretend to be happy, and agree with them... anyways long story short, i'm 23 now, and of course i got very depressed in 03, for about 6months, and just went through the mill, to be freaking around witnesses who i knew were fake drove me crazy, when u only ask how i am doing after not attending for months at a time, u are not my friend!.

  Yes, my BP is fine. It is my second, and I tell you, I get HUGE!!! I have large children. And this one is so low she makes my back and hips cry out for mercy. Its really the not sleeping that is getting to me. I would love to sleep like my husband does, just snoring the night away, not a care in the world.
