hi, im new here but have been looking at lots of web sites for exjw's and i can't seem to get any answer in what im looking for.. i have a bit of a delemia i am df and my dad (jw) is getting remarried to a jw in march and i am wanting to go but the thing is i haven't been to a kh for a very long time and where they are getting married is the one that i grew up in and for this not sure where i am to sit.

do i have the right to sit in the front row or do i have to treat it like a normal meeting?.

can anyone shed any light on this?.

You know i was going to sit in the front row and now i definatly am!!!!!

HI and Welcome!! :)

I'm very glad to hear you have decided to sit in the front with your family where you belong !

I agree with the poster above that said your father sounds very reasonable and may need you even more once his marriage is underway. Good Luck and Enjoy your fathers wedding!!!

Sorry to hear of your uncomfortable situation. You must however stand up for yourself. There is NO other choice. Don't back down now or you WILL regret it. The other posters have great responses non-combative suggestions so i will not include any more. Good luck and be strong for yourself now and in the future.

Are you still scared of Jehovah?

by MsMcDucket in

i remember the watchtower organization having me so scared of jehovah that i was getting paranoid.

i kept thinking he was watching me no matter where i was at.

i wouldn't dare say anything bad against the organization because jehovah was listening to me.

not afraid- i dont BeLIEve in Jehovah end of story. it takes a few years to decondition... then a few years to get over the anger.. then a few years to laugh at all of it... ;)

Why do apostates lie about where they get their information?

by slimboyfat in

it does no good.

i don't understant it - who do they think they're foolin'?.

i have just been listening to the judicual committee that disfellowshipped rick and laverne townsend and it is cringeworthy, to say the least, to listen to them cover-up, distort and outright lie about the sources of their information and the real background to their dissent.

Bodhisattva1320

very trivial thread but none-the-less we SHOULD just be glad ANYONE -no matter what the means- is leaving this rediculous religion. Who cares what source they have- its a choice yo- plain and simple and leaving and disproving JWs happens to be a great, free, choice.

Article on Origins of Xristianity I Wrote REALLY UPSET Local Christians

by Seeker4 in

i had an assignment to write a bunch of holiday articles that would be shared by all the various papers owned by the guy who owns the paper i'm the editor of.

after i'd had enough with the usual holiday stuff, i decided to get a little adventerous and expanded one in the series to include, not just the origins of christmas foods, but also some ideas i've been reading and watching about the origins of the chrisitain religion itself.. this is a link to the article, which ran a few weeks ago: .

So considering that there may be nothing but pagan origins to religion in general, back to the foods of Christmas!

i L O V E your article!! Well done!

It's the information age- they cant hide it much longer!!!!!!! man it is sure going to piss some good ole folks off isn't it. Well i say GOOD, they should be pissed off- they have been manipulated for generations. Now if only they could focus the anger towards finding their own truths....

would you all consider this a serious threat????

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.

Bodhisattva1320

Personally I would call the police and file a report. Then I would call the jerks in New York in the legal department and ask them if this is behavior they condone....and I would send a copy to them.
Then I'd make a third phone call to the local elders and tell them that you had called the police, and the legal department and they had better tell their sheep to stay on the farm and far away from you and yours. I'd also tell them that you plan on hiring an attorney and suing them all if they don't keep every JW away from your home, and if you have any complications with your pregnancy due to this stress you will civily sue them and you know that you may not win but you're willing to make this a very public battle dragging Jehoovers name through the mud.
And if your husband doesn't stand up for you, I have some sad news...He may never.
I've gone through this with my husband, his mother accused me of our first child not being his...and that was a flat out BS lie. He and I were married and I love him dearly and would never think of sleeping with anyone else.
My husband has finally taken the stand that you must be nice to see him or our children. They can't do that. We don't see them.
Best Regards,
Chrystal

WHAT SHE SAID!!!!

keep all of the letters she has written your husband and start documenting her PSYCHO behavior and file a report!! she is slandering you and also harrassing your family END OF STORY. She has very bad behavior oh my - do NOT let her think she can continue her infantile/hateful behavior, you MUST stand up for your family and yourself. I wish you the best with your new baby and pregnancy!!!
