let me start by saying that i have posted here before about my wacko sister -in-law.
this time it is bad.
we recieved a phone call from my husbands father on friday night asking about how we were and what we were up to ,no biggie just odd since its only maybe the second time in over a year that he has called.
Elders Schmelders. I'd take it as a threat and call the police. You've got evidence. They think they are above the law, I think the word is Sociopathic, if my Law&Order SVU serves me.
Do it and get on with having a nice life, congrats on your pregnancy.

it amazes me how jehovah's witnesses think.
same time it terrifies me to think that i thought in the same way.
Oh and my long time favorite (even while young and in the Borg):
Limiting the use of Jesus Christ's words that 'stumbling one of these little ones' is a terrible sin, better for that person to have a millstone hung around his neck and be pitched into the sea. . .
so that they can quote the proverb, 'the taking of offense rests with the stupid ones', therefore allowing them to do and say whatever they want, no matter how stumbling, hurtful and rude; because if you're offended, you're stupid. It says so.
I hate them.

Yes. When I sent my elder/dad the UN web link that explained what they did, he called the service desk. He now believes what they told him: that they needed to use the library during that time period, but now they realize that there is so much information available through other sources including the internet, that the UN 'library card' is unnecessary. (Conveniently resigned as an NGO just days after they were outed publicly.)
Then he said, "Where'd you learn all about this, the Internet?" gag.
Then I asked him if he'd prostitute himself in the interest of information gathering, then he could be a WTS 'reporter' too.
When asked why they were willing to sign to acceptance and support of the UN precepts, he said that they didn't. When he read for himself the steps for becoming an NGO, he said that the UN website was a ploy of satan and that I was only affected by this because I wasn't going to meetings AND (dig this, it's insane) that when the UN info came out years ago I was stronger and so it didn't affect me then. I reminded him that he said I was the first to tell him about it (just 2 months ago); Did he not remember writing in an email that he had never heard of such a thing and therefore called WTS?
so, i have a good job, but i hate my boss.
it's gotten to the point (beyond the point) that i just need to get outta here.
it's not even worth going to hr about because she makes sure you get fired if you do that, but not before dragging your reputation through the mud.
Car sales. Decent money, no investment.
after a lenthy illness, 10 years in total, my mother, margaret stecko, passed away peacefully today surrounded by family.
she was 84, and leaves behind 3 children, 5 grandchildren, and 8 great grandchildren.
she was a jw but never shunned me.
Aw, dude. So sorry, nice post and pic.
1- "jehovah does not want us to be rich".
other religions teach that god helps us to become prosperous.
jehovah does not do that.
those bastards
i just could not believe it when i stumbled across this forum recently.
i was actually doing research for my dad who wanted to see the world's viewpoint of the failed 1975 prophecy.
he came into the truth less than three years ago and though my mom has been a witness since she was a teenager she never spoke of that particular time period to him.
Welcome Welcome!! It's like we all grew up in the same house!
how long did you lurk before joining ?and why?.
it took me about a year before joining and posting.. i can sum up my reason in one word,.
fear .
I don't think lurking is a negative term, afterall, it's not like we're all naked in here and people are just peeping at us until they post. I lurked a couple of months. I blame my mother. Oh and the WTS. (they're working together.) I worked on my first intro/post for a few days before I submitted it. I was a healing moment in so many ways and the understanding and acceptance by other members was instantaneous and plentiful and no one gave me a W or an I.
So, lurk on.
for those who don't know my story (look up past posts, i posted it) here's the cliff's notes.. i was df'd about 10 weeks ago for things other than apostacy.
i plan in being reinstated to keep communication with my family (wife and i were raised in the........tr......tru.........truth) so i am still going to the meetings.. well, for any that don't know my wife had a baby thursday woo-hoo!
anyway, the cong we are in is actually fairly loving and it's quite a shock to me since it's very different from what i have experienced for the last 30+ years.
Another fine example that proves that the JWs have no sense or concern for manners or proper behavior of any sort. How thankful I am to no longer be subject to their meanness w/ the excuse that it pleases god. Sorry for your suffering, but really happy about your little son!!! Congrats!!! May he never carry a microphone.
ugh...i dont know how to really start this,,,but i'm a christian and my husband was b4 our split in p1...however he returned home 3yrs ago on 12/17.
however he returned a jw wannabee, actually he studies with them he hasnt been baptized in the org...its so funny how i am picking up alot of the lingo here ev'1 uses...lol....anyway, i can see where his love is so conditional and i hv to remind him that god loves us "unconditionally".
i continue to give him the true word of god!!
Welcome! You'll find so much helpful wisdom on this site! Good luck!
