Is it wrong to change your religion flyer
by boyzone in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i typed a flyer on this subject the other day but not sure how to get it to the relevant people.

i could post it to elders but i know it'll be thrown as soon as opened.

i could pin it to the kh door but the hall servant will be the first to see it and throw it before anyone else gets there.

My letter to all the schools about the effects of JW teachings
by boyzone in
1. watchtower
2. medical
i wrote this letter several months ago but didn't feel strong enough to deal with the jw flack it might cause.

now i'm feeling better and ready to let the professionals around me know just how insidious the jw teachings can be on susceptable young minds.

the forst 6 letters will go out to the high schools in my area.

i love my sons and i'm just so proud of them all!!

i have 4 fantastic boys, all brought up as jw's and all out.. since we all left (me and hubby included) our lives have never been richer or happier.

to give you an idea what i'm on about, my youngest son is 9 years old and he's had a rough time over the last year.

How did your young children cope when you left?
by boyzone in
1. jw
2. friends
i have an 8 year old son who's in primary school.

he has to pass 3 sisters and their kids most mornings and they shun me, so therefore they shun him too as he's with me.

he has known these people since birth so he's pretty confused by this.

Are active JW's seeing the light?
by boyzone in
1. jw
2. experiences
i ask this because i had a strange experience this week.

for a brief bit of background knowledge i'm being shunned like most on here, but i see witnesses every day in my place of work and at the school gate, there's no avoiding them, and like many of you, i've found it really hard to get over the hurt and heartache this has caused.. yesterday my mum (an active witness) went into hospital to have a tumor removed (successfully) as i'm the only daughter nearby to help, the other witnesses were asking the elders what they were supposed to do if they wanted to visit my mum and i was at her bedside, should they talk to me or turn round and go out again.. one elder said to do that would be utterly ridiculous, of course i should be spoken to.

he was very annoyed even at the suggestion.

Have we become like those we despise?
by boyzone in
1. jw
2. experiences
ak jeff and i have just had a small disagreement on the charlton heston thread.

nothing important or serious, but it just struck me that in our exchanges he and brentr have used a couple of lines of false argumentation to get their point across.. i can't help but think its strange that with all our moaning about the watchtower and its false argumentation methods, are we prepared to use exactly the same methods when our views are challenged?.

i find this a bit disconcerting, especially on here of all places.
