I want to write to my mom to tell her of some of the things that led me to fade. I think if it's written in a kind and loving way she will read it and I may plant a few seeds of doubt in her mind. I don't want to bombard her with too much info, but give her enough food for thought. I was thinking along the line of the 1914 generation change. Showing her that the WBTS's new light is just an excuse to cover up false prophecies. Also that Jesus said he is the way, truth and light, you dont need an organization to be close to God. Can any one give me a few ideas and scriptures that I could put in the letter that may be helpful? I have spoken to her before so it will not come as a shock to her. I just want her to fully understand my choice.

It's awful that she's not well but it's such a special time between mom and child. A time when you are really needed and wanted by your little one. Time for story reading and lots of snuggles.

Not aJW, but have a question
by roseybarb ini hope it's alright that i post a question, even though i've never had any affiliation with jw organization.
i have a friend who has been trying to convince me for years to study with jw.
i've been doing alot of research on jw and was just wondering if people here would be kind enough to tell me why they have decided to quit their affiliation with jw organization.

The fact that their poicies protect child molesters turned me away. I have since found out that the whole religion is a cult and a money making scam.

It's very unusual. If an other JW see the books an know that they are Christain Books the elders will be paying her a visit shortly. Good of her to keep an open mind.

We hiked up Table Mountain in Cape Town a while ago. It was very hard but I enjoyed every minute. Take lots of water with you and snacks to keep your energy levels up.

Some of you may know that I have spoken to my mom about the info I have found about JW and WBTS. My in laws on the other hand know nothing. They just know that we no longer go to meetings. They phoned this morning telling us that they are going to be staying with us for a week. It just happens that we are busy with the Alpha Course and I will be away for a ladies christian retreat for the weekend while they are here. The funny thing is that they have very little to do with us as they live quite far and since we have not been to meetings they have cut down communication to minimum. The reason for their visit however is that there is a quick build kh going up in the area and my PO FIL needs to be there. So now we are good enough for a visit, free accomodation!! So here's my dilema, should you pre-warn them of our "apostate" views or just let them arrive and deal with it. I still want to be respectful to them and would like the kids to see their grandparents. We also have faded but are not da or df. My FIL may want to take things up with our x KH and we could be df or be forced da ourselves. If that happens it will put me in a difficult situation with my folks. Maybe I'm just jumping the gun and should take a deep breath.
