i can't describe what i feel, when i see my mum as a jw.

sometimes (like today) it really gets me down knowing she and millions of others are living a life that is not going anywhere.. she's been to the british musuem, i've gotten e-mails from the british musuem.

we've read literature/websites/bible e.t.c.

Hey, thanks for the advice here. She actually hates her husband right now and has admitted if it was possible she wouldn't of married him but now she is 'bound to him'.

Oh you should of said, this is EASY...

Ok get yer hands on a pair of woman's panties, SMALL ONES ! Huge Bridget Jone's knickers wont work for this... and don't nick them from someones washing line or you'll end up on the sexual offenders list and knowing you you'll tell the police i told you to do it as well.

Ok now you have to mess the panties up, I'm not gonna go into details here, use yer imagination and forget everything the youth book said lol

Now be a bit cunning and plant them either in the pocket of a pair of his trousers that your mums gonna wash or for maximum effect plant them in his book bag just before a meeting, preferably in the pages of his bible. When your mum catches sight of these soiled panties she will flip, trust me on this alright lol . And viola one huge crack in their marriage !

Remember all is fair in love and war

It seems ex jw's in the UK are angrier than anywhere else why?

i admittedly am new to this and i am not being judgmental.

why does it seem that when i read the threads from folks in the uk it seems they are preoccupied with a lot of research into the wts and changes into their beliefs?

why not just let it go and go on with life.

Welcome A Knights Templar.

You'll be pleased to know that your behaviour since leaving the truth isn't unique. I've been though all of that and I dare say a lot more on here have as well. I have to say that I laughed reading that part of your post because that is so Me!

Getting back to the thread's topic i have to disagree. There are some SERIOUSLY scary Americans on this site that you could well imagine walking into a crowed circuit assembly hall armed to the teeth and intent on taking out as many dubs as possible.

I can't remember seeing any British "foaming at the mouth" types recently

Ever know of a great family movie, the Witnesses found demons or evil in?

i remember growing up, the witness children were often ones that were left to see all those g rated movies from disney.

yet even those at time, while accepted by just about every religion out there, were considered demonic.

for example, the following movies were said to show witchcraft and in or congregation we were encouraged to discard them and not own copies of them; sleeping beauty, snow white, the little mermaid, bed knobs and broomsticks, and fantasia.

E.T got a mention in an Awake mag. it came under fire for three reasons

The first that as a fantasy film it would lead youths to take an interest in fantasy and that would lead to an interest in horror and then satanism.

The second was Eliot's potty mouth in the film. In one scene he calls his brother "penis breath." The Governing Body sh*t their collective geriatric pants when they heard that and were obviously frightened that youths would copy Eliot and start addressing the Elders and MS and brothers down the hall as"penis breath"

Thirdly there was the resurrected E.T scene. We all know that only Jehoobah can resurrect the dead and that it isn't something that wrinkly little aliens can do so the film had to become a no no for good dubs.

Karl,

A couple of points

Your mum has had a turbulent life full of ups and downs, the one place she has found stability (and probably a degree of happiness) in her life is in the truth. For her the "Truth" and her way in life is something that represents stability and order as opposed to the chaos that was her life before she found the truth.

Most people that turn to become dubs do so because they are deeply unhappy in their normal day to day lives and what you are effectively doing by asking her to leave is to return to the chaotic world that she once left behind. A lot of people just can't do that.

Leaving the truth means that she would probably piss off her husband and may even loose him. Is she willing to do that? You and I both know he's a d*ck but she obviously feels something for him.

As for trying to turn a dub I think you are going about it the wrong way. Most here will agree that while dubs if we had cold hard anti org facts thrown at us we would shut up our ears and ignore them. We wouldn't listen. Your mum is in dub mode, shes not going to pay attention to anything you have to say about the org because she thinks you are under the influence of Satan.

The only way you can reach people like her is on an emotional level, you cant reason with people like her. She simply has too much to loose, you'll be leaving home in a few years and if you had your way you may well destroy her marriage and then where would she be, single and living on her own again.

My advice would be to leave her to her own life. Let her find out the truth in her own time rather than ramming it down her throat and remember, its a cliche but, you can take a horse to water but you cant make it drink.

My shunning mother called me....accidently

this was such a sad exhange and just shows how unnatural this bogus rule by the wbts is.. i see my moms name on the caller id and i immediately pick up.

(keep in mind we live 2 blocks apart).

my mom says julia?, and i say no mom its me, you must have dialed the wrong number.. mom: oh, i'm sorry, how are you?

Devilsnok

Like a lot here i believe she "accidentally on purpose" rang you. The fact that she just went into a conversation with you like there had never been a break for me proves she had you on her mind and things she wanted to talk about with you already planned in her head. Shes missing you.

The next few weeks are going to be tough for a lot of people here. There's a watchtower study coming up that deals with close family members that have fallen away. It will push a lot of emotional buttons with those still in. Maybe you're mother was pre studying it and it started this off.
