And I believe that JW'S sing this song
If your happy and you know it clap your hands
If your happy and you know it just say amen
If your happy and you know it just "pretend"
and your mind is in utopia.

The JW view of world/personal events is repulsive, unkind & just plain offensive
by jambon1 inon 9/11, an elder: it's sad but exciting!on a loved one dying: we can cope far better with this due to the resurection.on the tsunami, an elder: if they think this is bad, wait untill they see what happens at armageddon (smiling).on armageddon, an elder: i want to be able to see the people dying.on execution at god's hands, a pioneer: it'll put them out of their misery.on the swine flu virus, a pioneer: it'll mean less people for jehovah to kill at armageddon.on the birth of my daughter, a prominent elder: be carefull not to fall into the trap of 'baby worship'on the death of my non jw grandmother, an elder: be carefull at the funeral not to become involved in false worship (don't sing my grans favourite hymn)on the topic of my non jw sisters wedding, the po: if it falls on the weekend of the convention, you should make your stand & not go to the wedding.there is, of course, a normal response to each of these situations.
there is a human response.
one that is touched by the tragedy.

Sorry for your lose and sadness Jeff but thanks for sharing. It really amazes me that these people spend countless hours trying to convince "worldly" people that true happiness is found by coming to know the Watchtower.

Why do even inactive Jw's play the shunning game?
by AK - Jeff ini have contacted a half dozen people thru facebook.
all of these people i have known for 2 decades, most more than that.
in every case, i have not been overly apostate in my statements - just a simple hi, hello, and how ya' doin' type message to them in private.. nearly all of them fall into one of two categories: never been a jw, just studied, maybe attended meetings for a while, likely not doing so nowadays.

@ Scott77 all I can say is WOW!!
The "brother" that studied with me was Df'd years ago and has no intention on go back to the WTS, so when I faded
a few years back I contacted him. I left a message on his phone and when he called me back I knew who it was from the
number and name on my phone I answered with some excitement thinking that we would get to be close friend's like the
good old day's and he didn't say anything and hung up. Of course I did follow the F*&*ing disfellowshipping rule when
he was Df'd and shunned him. oh well. The WTS plague strike's again.

Argh, this is just getting worse by the day
by teel ina few months have passed since my relationship with my wife took a turn for the worse.
yesterday i finally questioned her about what she wants as for the future.
i know she will always stick with the wts, no matter what.

Teel I complete know the feeling. I just got to the point where I can't talk religion or about the scriptures any longer. And like you said now that she is on to you she automatically puts up her guard. It all sucks.
Wow moshe, what an ordeal I hope you are happy now. Your story reminded me of how the WTS would give talks at assemblies and conventions on how some sister would win her "worldly" husband over by being a good little dub, but they don't dare mention all the families they destroyed by there demanding complete obedience to the WTS.

To me the whole purpose of the bible is to be taught by the most high. With all the contradictions I find myself completely distracted from the message. In other words God seems to be fumbling around trying to get his point across. I mean if you or I wrote a letter to a friend and It was full of contradictions how much credibility would I have?

Why is it so hard for Ex-JWs to make that "final step" and give up Christianity?
by sabastious ini'm not sure if it's just denial on a lot of people's part, but the reason the jws doctrine is so wacky and controlling is because they are among the few religions that really try to follow the bible!.
the bible is the culprit here in actuality, but even after someone has "wizened up" to the misguided teachings of jehovah's witnesses they still hold the bible as inspired word of god.. why don't you believe that the governing body was chosen as the faithful and discreet slave in 1918?
because the only real evidence to that fact is that they say so.

Dandingus you pretty much summed it up for me. The emptiness afterwards is a killer for some of us that have this type of belief system and have no family to lean on. And add to that your spouse is still a JW. You feel like you want no part of it but you still are through your spouse.
