about time i formally introduced myself
by karter ini was a j.w for 38 years did'nt do a fade just "checked out and left" that was 7 years ago .. wife still a j.w so still have the elders ask why?.
i started to explain to one he went into lock down mode so why bother.. i'll defend the j.ws to the end for things i fell are right but wont stand idly by and say nothing when i know what they are saying is wrong.. that's got me into a lot of trouble.. karter.

JW's have been around since Adam and Eve???!!!
by tribalgirl ini was wondering if this was being taught in the congregations.
my sister who is still a jw told me this the other day when i said that the wtbts has only been around for a short time, relatively speaking.. my mother, who hasn't been to a meeting in years, agrees with her.
what is being taught now with regards to this, does anyone know?

Ok, truth is, the first JW slithered out of primordial muck 60000 yrs ago, dumped the gills in 1914 and still isn't standing UPRIGHT!

shunned
by lovelylissa ini got disfelowshiped when i divorced my husband and altho we both went on to have relationships with other people he didn't get disfelowshiped as he wasn't going to meetings.
we have since then got back together and i find it so frustrating that i still get treated like a leper being shunned by his family and all the other witnesses but he still gets invited to dinner and works with them.
i don't want to be best buddys with any of them i just hate it when they cross the road to avoid me .

Just proof that their rules are man-made and they are not being led by God or Holy spirit or holy anything. You both committed the same act, but their DF rule means you are mistreated.
I hate them. Good luck to you. Welcome!! Please stay in touch through this site.

I read once that Able was the first faithful witness of Jehovah. So you see, the priceless real estate in Brooklyn has been profaned by abuse and untruth for milleniums.

Tell Us About Your JW Father If You Had One.
by new boy inwe are great friends now....but he wasn't much of a father growing up.. worked all the time...we went on few vacations....pretty much pussy whipped my my nazis jw mother.. he never did believe in the whole jw thing.
he just when along with it, for my mothers sake.. she never did respect him for not being a "spiritual head" and pretty much let us kids know about it.. i, like my mother became very self rightious and judgmental.. i wished now he had just came to me just once and said "keith maybe the jws are not the people you think they are.
" but he was to afraid of my mother to say that...even though he knew it to be true.i would have never believed him....back then....but it would have planted a seed.... .

Wow are these some powerful posts. What a great thread.
My dad is a mild and kind person. He always said the same about his own dad. People have called my dad weak, but I don't believe that he is, he has always been a truly good person. He has been bullied by my mom. I learned more about what's really important from my dad-things like loyalty to family and the importance of having close friends. My mother, a 30 year pioneer, has been abusive to him physically, I've seen that, and verbally and mentally--because she's the boss. He became an elder because she pushed him to, it gave her more power.
He is now as biting and nasty as she is; although I know he wants to have a relationship with me, I know that she won't allow it. Sounds like Dawg's dad. Dawg, bless you for what you wrote about your dad. We don't speak, and I won't live falsely in order to get them to have a relationship with me.
My dad's an ex-Marine, but denies the honor of that service in lieu of the JW 'the military is evil' doctrine.
