  The problems with my JW family

  by Ima Apostate in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this may be a rare thing on this board, don't know, because this is my first post, but i was raised jw and officially 'checked out', in my own mind, at 14 or so, because it just didn't make sense that god would destroy so many good people who are wholeheartedly trying their best to please him and worship him in truth.

  i actually did not pray or give god a passing thought for 12 years or so because the god i had been raised to know was no one i wanted to worship.

  but here in the past year something brought me around to him.

  Ima, did you ever get baptized with the JW's? My story is kind of like yours, I stopped attending at 14, moved out when I was 17, I didn't get baptized. Just before my dad passed away I saw him in the hospital his last words to me went something like this "I will never forgive you for turning your back on jehovah, you've been a dissappointment to me and I can never forgive you", Now I still have a lot of my family mom, stepdad, sisters and brothers, but I don't have children, however wife and I are going to try this year, I wonder what my JW family will do to try and change my child, not that I will ever let them but I know they will try. I also just like you turned back to religion, I joined the Catholic church about 6 years ago, there is nothing wrong with finding another religion even though what we went through was tough. Good luck and welcome

  Questions about the '89 WT change

  by JimmyPage in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is in reference to the '89 wt with the change from the individual issue to the bound volume that originally said the preaching work would be completed by the end of the 20th century.

  my question is: are there bound volumes of the '89 wt that were printed prior to 2000 that do not contain the change?

  or does anyone know where i could get an original issue of the individual '89 mag?

  The Other 9-11 - Mormon Massacre

  by Bonnie_Clyde in

  2. friends

  probably many of you have heard of this, but i just found out.

  interesting how the mormons reacted to one of their members requesting that they make a "full confession and take the consequences.

  " also the statement by john d. lee that they were performing a religious "duty.".

  Why do many of us keep refering to IT as "THE TRUTH"?

  by ldrnomo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  because that was the name the borg placed on it's religion, "the truth" it seems to be stuck with many of us.

  i am making a concious effort to not refer to it as "the truth".. it is not the truth, it is not the way, and it is definitley not the life!.

  so let's stop it people!.

  I never did, but some of my EXJehovies sometimes still call it that I look at them with my evil eye, and say it's the Trough not the truth.
