  hi, i'm poppyr's son.

  i was brought up a jehovah's witness and have only very recently lots most of my faith in it.

  for years i was in that religion and could never quite make sense of it.

  a two for one special!.

  today is my birthday and this thursday marks a full year posting on the forums here.. it's been on my mind recently, thinking over the past year that i thought i'd do a year in review.

  last year, around this time, things were starting to bother me.

  Para and Bobbi - how far you've come in a year. So glad you have each other and your kids - your lives are just going to get better and better and as my sister so eloquently put it the other day - "I'm so glad you're in the world now!".
  
  All the best.

  The Crazy Mixed Up World of a Witness

  by sweet pea in

  well friends, i saw an old good friend of mine today who is still a jw and is my 'secret' friend.

  in the course of conversation, she told me that she had been really upset the other day when she saw something her father had written to her mother that expressed his love for her and that they would always be together in the kingdom.

  it upset her because she realises that they have accepted their mortality and she has as well but she thinks that if they are right, because she's a bit of a rebel, she won't be there to see them!

  libh - oh yes, she knows a little of my views, the main thing being I don't beieve it's the 'truth' and I don't believe it's God's sole channel and I think she secretly wants to know everything else. She's one of my best friends from childhood and she's one of only two friends who will still have anything to do with me.

  Jeff - Great movie title!
  
  Flipper - it just constantly amazes me how we all fell for it for so long.
  
  Dagney - thanks for your advice - I'm so tempted to tell her I don't need this crazy friendship and don't want to hear about any more JW stuff now but I do still care and want her to see this cult for what it really is. Sigh.

  Well friends, I saw an old good friend of mine today who is still a JW and is my 'secret' friend.
  
  In the course of conversation, she told me that she had been really upset the other day when she saw something her father had written to her mother that expressed his love for her and that they would always be together in the kingdom. It upset her because she realises that they have accepted their mortality and she has as well but she thinks that if they are right, because she's a bit of a rebel, she won't be there to see them! I told her to do her research and then she would find out whether they are in with a chance of being right or not.
  
  We then went on to discuss whether she really wanted to know 'everything' or not. She was very honest and said that "she would rather not open 'Pandora's Box'" and "remember what happened to the cat?".... because it wasn't worth risking her marriage and losing all her friends, even if going to meetings, going out on ministry and generally struggling IS all a waste of time. She really doesn't want to know (Sweetpea shaking her head whilst writing this....).
  
  She struggles though with the fact that her hubby won't admit that the Organisation was a member of the UN, won't present her with evidence to prove her wrong and just shrugs it off with "it's all lies".
  
  I mentioned the child abuse settlements in the US and she asked "yes, but did that really happen?".
  
  Somebody ought to make a movie of the bizarre world of the witnesses.

  (((JWs: BE WARNED AGAINST THOSE WHO WARN AGAINST PEDOPHILES)))

  by Pioneer Spit...oh, i mean Spirit in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  and not the pedophiles themselves.

  .. i'm noticing a trend here: those who have spread the nbc video (etc) around to witnesses are getting slammed for talking about it.. are we more dangerous to jws for talking aboutthese child rapists than the child rapists actually are?

  if jws' way of life is more important to them than the safety of their children, then the answer is yes.

  Welcome Nothing Man.
  
  Good to have you here.
  
  Look forward to hearing more from you - especially on your journey of faith - what do you believe right now?
  
  For me, it's been very strange going from having what I thought was all the answers to not being sure of any of the answers anymore. Would love to hear your thoughts on the big questions of life....
