  Jehovahs Witnesses on The Heaven and Earth Show BBC1

  by south african beef in

  i just watched the heaven and earth show on bbc1.

  there was a jw mum and her now 16 year old daughter on the programme.

  when the girl was 15 she needed a life saving operation which apparently required blood.

  I don't know what backwater you're from R6laser but in my experience the vast majority of jw youngsters get baptised at a very young age. As a percentage I would say 75% get baptised under the age of 16!

  Do Your Medical Records Still Say That You Are A Jehovah's Witness?

  by BluesBrother in

  i raise the question because mine did - until thursday that is.

  a routine follow up review appointment was my opportunity to place a 'living will" in my records .

  the doctor said "you are a jehovahs witness aren't you" .

  does anyone who was raised a jw and is now df'd of da'd celebrate all the holidays?

  i do, and for the first time in my entire life i'm actually having a blast and so are my children.

  at least my youngest child doesn't have to suffer the segregation all jw children surrender to due to the freakin' mind controlling gb and all there so called "god channeled" rules..

  Yeah I celebrate everything and it feels great. Normal.
  
  The kids love it and I feel guilty that they had to miss out for so many years.

  trev (dedpoet) experienced breeathing difficulties during the night, and i had to call for an emergency ambulance.

  he was kept in overnight, and is still there under observation.

  he was conscious and breathing normally when i left him around 30 minutes ago, having been breathing through an oxygen mask earlier.

  Please share this inspiring story with everyone you know.

  people have been posting "encouraging" stories from their witness mailing lists lately.

  i thought i'd share one i encountered, too.

  many years ago, a new family moved into our neighborhood, little six-year-old emma and her mom and dad.

  New here

  i just found this place and thought i'd post.

  i'm a 50+ year old grandmother who was "raised in the truth".

  i have been on my way out of "the organization" for several years now, but have moved cautiously because i don't want to jump from the firing pan into the fire so to speak.

  Hi Nana and welcome to the forum. I'd just like to say that I have been out for four and a half years now and celebrating the holidays does feel a bit weird the first few times. I celebrated Christmas properly for the first time last year, but it was quite low key. This year I'm going the whole hog!
  
  So my advice would be, take it one step at a time and let your celebrations increase each year as you feel more comfortable with what you're doing.
