((((((oompa))))). sorry you're not in a good place right now.
Your kids need you. They may not see it now bu as they get older you can be the balance a JW kid needs.
i have to get feeing better soon.
i don't mind some ups and downs, but staying low for days at a time just ain't right.
somebody here was talking about snow the other day and how the elders would almost never cancel the meeting.

after the ambiguous response by the wts to the nbc broadcast, i would like to know how many of you had an "elder chester molester" in your own congregation?.
we had an elder that molested his daughter's best friend when she was 14 years old.
the elders in the congregation tried to keep the matter quiet and handled the matter privately.
There was one sick F*&^ in our congo that molested his two young daughters. He's still an elder. His wife and kids are no longer JW's.

the "where's your jacket brother" thread reminded me of an incident.. i was conducting 4 bible studies two on a monday evening, one wednesday evening and one on a sunday morning.
i was working full time.. so the only first call i did was on an saturday morning for an hour (the cats ministry.
on a "shepherding call" (don't you just hate that) the elder told me i should be going out with the group on a sunday morning and do rvs on a saturday.
wow. He was proberbly jealous that you did way more than he did.

Hi Grace

for most of us raised in the "truth" and i hate to use that term, we were brought up/and or taught to believe we were very important in this world.
the message being preached, god's chosen people, yadda yadda.. so as we leave this religion, the things we can point to as being news worthy, those breaking the law in the ranks, coverups etc....its really small potatoes in the world at large, although to this group it is huge.. i believe that part of the letting go of the witness mentality is recognizing that in the end its all just a small cult that captured your soul, or you were born in and had no choice.
it sucks bigtime, its larger than life for most of us, but in the bigger picture of life its a very small blip.. there is no question this religion has ruined/destroyed many lives, but to the world at large it isn't big enough to make a differnece to those not involved.. in reality, to use a horrible analolgy.....the jw's are just a pimple on the butt of the world.. .
the JW's are just a pimple on the butt of the world.
I wish someone would come along and squeeze the ... out of this pimple! Your so right though. It's only big news to us.
well as you see from my avatar i already have one, she's about to turn two.
i found out about the pregnancy at just past 4 weeks.
always was clockwork regular, but i'd just had a feeling in myself that month that something was, you know, different but couldn't put my finger on it.
I too lost weight when i was pregnant with my son. It's not that strange. Go get a test and put your mind at ease. If it's negative go to the doctor, sound like your body's trying to tell you something.
there's a pedophile in our hall i aint going back, i've had enough.
why wont the elders disfellowship him, or tell him he aint welcome anymore?
Sorry, I don't buy your story.

Why not Warlock?
hi, i have done a search on previous posts, and couldn't find anything since 2002. is there any scriptural evidence for baptising children early?
how do the dub's justify this?.
my son takes his 7yo & 4yo to the meetings, against my daughter in law's wishes.
