my husband and i went to visit his family for the holidays.
not everyone showed for the visit ,the weather was lousy, and it just generally sucked.
now we're back to the same old routine with work and life and we're both depressed and alone.
I'm sorry, BYCNL, for your feelings of depression. It's worse this time of year, too, as you noted. Your husband's family are or aren't JWs? I wasn't sure because you visited them for the "Holidays."
Staying around here on the forum should help cheer you up -- you'll be getting some more responses soon, I'm sure.
Back in a bit.
Love,

on their chanel they are showing a video of a special assembly day in belgium i believe.
the jws are dancing dressed in black and red, satanic colores.
singing and playing worldly songs and kingdom melodies.
to all congregations.
re: new songs for memorial.
dear brothers:.
When some of us played the piano at the KH and used the pink song book, we really rocked. For the most part, those songs were melodic and inspiring.
Then came the records . . .

You're welcome, NVR2L8, and, also, thanks to you and never a jw for commenting.
This link was sent to me by an ex-JW family member who suffered horribly from parental corporal punishment. The police and CPS finally got involved.
And, to think, for years we misinformed family members were told the child was rebellious and wanted no part of the Truth.

the emotions from this are surreal:.
(kudos for the kid to record it).

Our beloved child wanted out of the cult when an early teen.
Suicidal tendencies and fierce rebellion against "The Truth" woke us up, and we said we love you and don't want you to hurt yourself. No longer forced to be a JW (never baptized), our kid turned into the sweetest, most non-judgmental, and obedient youngster on the block. Never mind what the elders thought of Mom's and Dad's position on saving their child.
Thirty years later, our "youngster" is a good and generous person. We couldn't be prouder.

From link provided above:
Does anyone know if the area was cleaned up before construction started? I was working there on the concrete with a private contractor, and no one said a word to any of us about the contamination (the union or the people in charge of the project). It was a dusty job, and we would have breathed in quite a bit of it if it wasn't dealt with before the project began. any information would be great...
the wtbts/ org dictates to its subservient followers what constitutes a bible truth/principle and what does not.
example: it-1 p. 319 birthday - ".....there is no indication in the scriptures that faithful worshipers of jehovah ever indulged in the pagan practice of annually celebrating birthdays.
the bible makes direct reference to only two birthday celebrations, those of pharaoh of egypt and herod antipas.
7 Now when they came into the house, as he was lying on his bed in his bedroom, they struck him and killed him and beheaded him. And they took his head and traveled by way of the Arabah all night."
Evidently, they got a head start . . .
