fullofdoubtnow - I am like your friend - I can't go near a KH, much less enter one. I have too much hatred. I know the end result of DA is the same as DF but I thought at least it would be my decision. Nathan Natas- it would be so much easier to do as you say if my JW family didn't exist! Seriously though, I am already shunned completely and have moved 2 1/2 hrs drive from them so tracking me down for a DFing would take a lot of effort. I just don't want WBTS to have power over me ever again.

Did a JW ever lie to you?
by JH in.
jw's don't lie, the devil is the father of lies, so jw's never lie.....

Master Liar and JW (especially Elders and up on the power scale) are synonyms, aren't they? But they lie for the good of all, don't they?

Did your KH have a minimum skirt length, max heel height,
by White Waves inor other stupid rules for women?
ours were contingent on the spirituality of the sister and, if she was married or an elder's wife, etc.
then, she got more leeway.

Like the guys didn't enjoy looking at the married ones too! A rule for a while was that all sisters need to sit in the back seat for service, it is more descreet. Unless, of course, there were no males. THEN it was OK.

Special Field Service Campaign at DA
by limbogirl ini have this memory of going to a da back in the mid to late seventies -- i was about 8 years old -- and there was a special field service campaign.
seems to me that one of the assembly days was shortened and everyone was given a service kit -- some tracts in a plastic bag -- and everyone was to go out and preach for the remainder of the afternoon.
i remember going with my dad to get in line to pick up the bag of tracts and then going into the neighborhood around the stadium to witness.

Yes, we were in a terrible neighborhood in Chicago, Il area. My father was terrified for us and we stayed together as a family. He kept praying over us. It was all public housing, gangs and we were personally attacked. I will never forget. I was so scared and angered that he put us in that situation, believing that God would protect us, when we entered the situation so willingly. The bible tells us we have to have some responsibility for ourselves. Solely expecting God to save us, is not the way of the Bible.

Welcome, broken_wolf!
by cruzanheart ini'm glad you finally started posting -- i know everyone here who hasn't met you will love you and those who have met you already appreciate you, even if you didn't take part in the moon party on my front lawn last saturday!.
for those of you who don't know, broken_wolf is my dear friend margaret, the brilliant editor and graphic designer of brian mcglothin's book "have you seen my mother?".
even though she was never saddled with the burden of being a jw, she appreciates what we've all been through and admires the courage it takes to walk away from such a high mind control group.

Cruzanheart, is this the book about a man that was kidnapped from his mother? I wanted to buy this book and read it but lost the link and couldn't remember the name of the book. One of the effects of head trauma. Please give more information on this book. Thank you - WW

Did you ever write an excuse on the back of your service report?
by JH in.
when i joined the jw's, i remember an elder stating that when you do less than the average number of hours in your month, mark the reason why in the back of the service report sheet that you give at the end of each month.. did anybody else receive these instructions way back in the late 80's?

My 2nd failed pregnancy (2003) went into the 4th month and was medically traumatic the last 2 months. I was directed to write on my service report that medical conditions hindered my ability to perform my field service activities. My subsequent surgeries and injuries from my husband did not draw any attention and I ceased from filing my service report. Over a year past and the CO's wife visited with my JW Pioneer mom. Hell broke loose because I was not counselled or allowed to count 15 minute increments which were allowed at the time for those in my circumstances (2004). My mom begged me to make light of this so she would not be punished and to be as forgiving as possible for her sake. The COs wife asked me to submit to the order of the men being above us and, though they had errored, view myself as more sinful than them. I hadn't been able to heal enough to attend any assemblies or go to work in ages and no one returned my called from the KH or visited me. Per my husband, he spoke on my behalf and I was a disappointment to the KH elders. Also, per my husband, I was no longer being abused, I was just depressed and lazy. F them all. And thank them all. I am free.
