  And no sympathy for Farve. Payback time for the 13 years of hell he made us Bear fans go through!

  Roy,

  A man after my own heart!

  this is a fairly long story, so bear with me.... twelve years ago i dated a jw man briefly in new york.

  we got along really well, but he stopped calling.

  Aaah limitless,

  He's been trained to fear everything that is not acceptable to the organization. Fear's are the hardest thing to face. I know you are hurting, but you are up against something that is pyschological. He may love you with all his heart, but until he can give up his fear of displeasing GOD ( we are talking about God!) you will be in for a very long journey.

  I'm not the greatest at giving advice. I hope that everyone combine word's give you either strength or hope. I'll keep you in my prayers. PM me if you need to talk more.

  For me I learned that my doubts about the truth were real. That there is no way that an organization that is directed by God keep's seeing the light on several subject's over and over again. I mean if God was doing the directing, he should be powerful enough to get it right the first time or at the very least the second time (maybe they didn't hear him right), but damn three and four times! Who am I kidding or rather who are they kidding.

  I agree with alot ( if not all) of what Berean said.

  Being with you makes him think of family and happiness. He is trained to think that only true happiness comes with associating with JW's. I know this is so hard to comprehend but he feels like he is chosing you over God at this point. I was where he was at. I told my husband (boyfriend at the time) that I wanted to raise my kid's the JW way because I thought this was the right and true way. And I would have chosen the organization over him at any given time after being married, even though I have been inactive for almost 7years!

  It is even worst for someone, who from the day they are born is told that happiness comes only through Jehovah's organization. He may not even realize that it is an organization running his life not Jehovah. Please do not give up on him if you love him. Try to get him to read the book Crisis of Conscience. I have ruined several great relationships due to my belief's and I was honestly trying to serve God.

  P.S. That was a great poem! Although in hindsight I could see how it could piss him off. You really told him off. lol

We now know how to do more than run the ball. I am a HUGE bears fan. Going to see them Oct 1st play the seahawks. And I watch all the games. I like the colts too... I LOVE Payton Manning!

  DA BEARS! Go Go Go

  So who's your favorite team and how are they so far?

  When A Loved One Leaves Jehovah

  by choosing life in

  2. bible

  has anyone read this article in the september 1, 2006 watchtower?

  i can't understand why the rank and file can't see who is really causing the pain by seperating loved ones over personal beliefs.. one woman says about her disfellowshipped brother, "this has been so hard for me to bear because in every other respect, he has been a wonderful brother to me.

  i especially miss him at large gatherings.".

  I agree with you fullofdoubt. It was the perfect article to make those hanging on the fringes want to come back in. I mean who wants to cause their parents distress. It makes you feel guilt for being out the org and makes those in the org feel like they are justified in what they are doing although it is making them miserable. Lucky for me my mom is spirtually weak and probably hasn't read this article.

  I told her I wasn't attending the KH anymore and that I didn't believe it was the truth. We didn't talk for a few weeks. We talked last week after an exchange over email and I called her. She basically said she loved me and would never stop talking to me. I'm her daughter and she loved me and that was that. We have never had a great relationship but it felt so good to hear her say that. I know others on the board are close to family members and don't talk to them. I feel very hurt at heart for them. And it actually strengthens my resolve to have a better relationship with my mother, knowing that others aren't as fortunate.

  today i was at burlington baby depot registering for my baby shower, stolling up and down the aisles and scanning.

  low and behold, down the aisle comes a dub.

  as soon as she set eyes on me, she backed out of the aisles as fast as she could, as if i was throwing poop at her.

  :One time, when I was still an active JW, I went through the check out line of a DF person, and they PUPOSEFULLY left a sensor on an item and then laughed their arse off when I beeped and had to get searched by the security.

  I WOULD TOO!
