You never know. Perhaps with your influence you can help to make your children to be able to "think", be educated, enjoy "real" positive life with other interests, work toward college, etc. If the children move on, then maybe she'll see the need to stick with her family and will see the "organization' really doesn't care about her.

My Brother Needed Blood...
by Tired of the Hypocrisy ina bit of history, my brother has completely faded and has been out for many years now.
he has been smoking cigarettes, playing golf and going target shooting with worldly friends and workmates, and having joyful relations with as many women as he can.
he got sick and they had to amputate about half of his foot.

Glad your brother is getting better. It does amaze me how some basically leave JWs in association, habits, do their own thing and still will cling to a teaching or two of JWs. I know some who still cling to the blood issue as if it vindicates them in some way. Some have all the "worldly" habits, yet feel some righteous vindication that they still wouldn't ever do Christmas. Some still feel some righteous vindication that they would never "speak against the organization." It is very perplexing to me.

And the "Faithful and Discreet Slave" are at the bottom of that preceding chart, as partaking "sisters" and partaking non-positioned "brothers," therefore basically non-mentionables.

Higher Education - do you know any witnesses who are College Lecturers?
by eyeslice init has become increasingly apparent that the society is currently taking a hard line on university/college education for the young.
however, this policy must put some witnesses in an awkward position.
i know of an elder who is a prominent university professor, in fact he is a world authority in his field of work, which is a medical area that seeks to better the lot of humankind in general.

My children's cousin married a JW fella who teaches/lectures/whatever in a college in Oklahoma. Don't know how he has that all set in his head and conscience.

Phone Call to my Mormon Aunt- she used to be a JW-It was wonderful.
by QuestioningEverything ini have an aunt who is one year younger than me, she's my mom's youngest sister.. we have always been very close and were more like sisters.
we were both baptised as a jw and were always together.
around 2002, she became inactive then she got baptised as a mormon in 2004!

Wonderful to be able to meet up with your aunt again. Best wishes! Will your mom have to know? But be cautious as Mormons are just as much out to convert you as JWs are out to do. So, maybe it's time to start checking out an ex-Mormon Discussion Forum also. Take care.
