My mom and dad told me that I'm an apostate and that they want to 'limit their association' with me!!!

a series of events led up to an arugment with my parents last night.

my mom and dad told me that they found my videos that i was doing on youtube, and they told me that i was an apostate.

they said that they would help me if it was an emergency, but other then that, they didnt want anything to do with me.

The Scotsman

I am constantly bewildered by the power a religion can have on someone - this is a prime example. Rejecting there own kids because someone told them it is the right thing to do!!!!

I never "quite" reached the stage you have - managed to keep contact - but it has never been the same.

You could try and back down a bit - remove videos etc. On the other hand they may not actually follow-through with shunning you.

No easy answers.

Good luck.....The Scotsman

QUESTION: Are you RELIGIOUS or SPIRITUAL? What's the difference between the two?

by Black Man in

The Scotsman

I would describe myself as spiritual.

I have a firm belief in God and a higher purpose.

But I am in no hurry to affiliate with any religious organisation.

i have now closed the survey down temporarily, because we need to migrate the results over to an identical survey that will have its own unique domain, etc.

once the survey is settled in its new home, i will be revealing the new url for you to access it and/or get updates on its progress.. in the meantime, i thought you might like to be made aware of the results as they stand:.

2011 Global Survey of Jehovah's Witnesses

if you are visiting this site for the first time, or for the first time in a long while, i would appreciate if you could click on the following link and participate in the 2011 global survey of jehovah's witnesses.

both active jehovah's witnesses and former jehovah's witnesses around the world are invited to participate anonymously, and the results will be forwarded to the governing body and world's media.. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/t7zm5zc.

this thread will be updated with the results of the survey (for the time being at least) should you be interested.. in its first 3 days, the survey collected close to 400 responses.

The Scotsman

Some interesting comments on this thread.

Anyway - Cedars - ""APPLAUSE"" - the survey is a great idea - I have just completed it.

Second - Any talk of somehow cedars is stealing our I.P. addresses for some devious plan is laughable. What would be the motives for such a cunning plan?

Lady Lee - oh dear - it is all a bit embarrassing..... would have been better to just say nothing.

Look - if some of you do not like cedars plan then fine - but why does it feel that some of you are trying to fight Cedars when the real enemy is in Brooklyn New York?

I for one applaud anyone who attempts to expose the WTBTS for what it is.

Bible reading

by mankkeli in

jw
friends

does anyone still take time to read the bible regularly or occassionally, or you have completely pushed it aside?.

pls give reasons.

The Scotsman

I do read the bible - not regularly enough though.

And as Listemer says - it is good reading it without being told what it all means - reading it without bias it much better.
