  i guess i am too open.

  many times i have been slammed and get furious with the results.

  there are a few posters including some long time members and possible trolls that enrage me.

  I am sorry for what you are gouing through. I agree with whoever said thAT THEY ARE CHOOSING TO SHUN YOU, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. i WOULD CALL MY FAMILY AND REACH OUT TO THEM LETTING THEM KNOW THAT MY LOVE FOR THEM WAS TOTALLY UNCONDITIONAL. Woops..sorry about the caps. Have you read Crisis of Conscience by Ray Franz? If not, please do. That book was so eye opening for me and many others. It took away all the fear and guilt I had for walking away.

  How much of a man are you? Problems with rats, I just can't do it

  last summer, i noticed a rat living underneath my shed in the back garden.

  i tried my hardest to convince my female counterpart that we had a rat living with us, but as usual was met with a wall of silence.

  so time passed and i didn't see rodney the rat again, so i just figured that he had gone away some place else.

  Spiders! Especially the quarter sized ones that come out at night and run 50 miles an hour across the floor. I know that I am first on their hit list when they take over the world.

  Is this petty? An argument with the neighbours

  by needproof in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'd like to ask you all whether or not you think that we are being petty here.

  the house next door to us has been empty for a while now.

  the last person to use it was a chinese doctor who used to house illegal immigrants which looked after his little cannabis factory.

  No, it is not petty. It is the principle of the thing. They obviously know they took something that was not theirs. I agree with whoever said to have a polite conversation about it. If they don't return it, report them to the police. They stole something of yours. I would also keep a written record of everything they do. I was unfortunate enough to live next door to a very disturbed person who loved to creat havoc with her neighbors. Little, small, " petty" things escalated into her trying to run down a neighbor with her car.

  Wife finally sees truth about "the truth"

  by jakes in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well it has finally happened.my wife is not going back to the meetings again.as you would probably read in my previous posts, i have written a book about my experience in the watchtower organisation which is on the verge of being published.she still tried to cling to what little belief she had in the borg and did not want to read my manuscript.we discussed many of the issues and concerns i had about the watchtower but most of the times it ended in a heated argument.. i was quite surprised when she approached me about two weeks ago and asked to read my manuscript.after reading it she handed it back to me and said she fully supports me in publishing this book.her eyes have been opened to the deception and lies.i think she and a friend had a bad experience calling on one of her so-called jw friends.furthermore, she did not attend this past weekends circuit assembly..

  hooray!!!.

  all i have to do now is to introduce her to all you wonderful people here on jwd.. jakes.

  OnTheWayOut, ...core believers. They will never understand the great exodus, and those that leave will never understand how they don't open their eyes.

  How true!!!
