  well,my dad called last night, crying.

  he says armageddon's about to start and he doesn't want to lose me.

  he said i either need to become a good jw and go to the meetings, or he will have to distance himself from me so that he won't be so attached to me when the big a hits.

  Big Question

  by choosing life in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know there may not be an answer to this question, but i am truly interested in other's views.

  i know many are of various beliefs and some do not believe in god at all.. the question is: why does god not stop the suffering?

  i watch so many suffer for no reason and no matter how i try to figure it out, i always come back to the fact that a loving parent would not allow their child to suffer needlessly.

  i was asked to post my da letter here.

  sure, it's not exactly short, but it lays out specific reasons why i no longer believe the watchtower society is the, "one sole truth on earth" that i used to believe it was.

  my wife no longer goes to any meetings either.

  Emotional Blackmail and ex-JWs

  by Lady Lee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  based on a discussion last night and a request to write something about it i went hunting through some old posts and found this one.

  emotional blackmail and jws.

  we were discussing whether it is emotional abuse when the elders visit us after we have left and wind up being nasty or try to pressure us to go back.. so i was thinking - what are some of their tactics and would they fit into this category?.

  Some People Enjoy Being Jehovah's Witnesses For Various Reasons

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some individuals truly enjoy being jehovah's witnesses.

  i think about those that would have liked to be in acting.

  well, having a part in a demonstration in the service meeting or giving a talk in the theocratic ministry school gives one the opportunity to act, be melodramatic, show a little comedic talent,etc.

  Long Intro From A Long Timer

  2. friends

  i am a new to posting on this board though i have been actively reading your posts the past while and i thank some of you for the interesting viewpoints that you have verbalized and that i have enjoyed thinking on.

  i am still an active jw, in fact an elder of 20 years standing hence my need to limit information about my personal circumstances.

  i have served in a number of countries in europe as a pioneer and elder over the past three decades.
