  If the Watchtower truly collapsed, how would you deal with your JW relatives?

  imagine the best case scenario.

  the watchtower society implodes from within even making final printed admissions that it is voluntarily dismantling it's mission and legally dissolving the corporations.

  oh happy day!

  Some Great Books

  i'm halfway through two books, and both of them together have greatly helped me understand why people are attracted to extreme religious groups like the jehovah's witnesses, and how these organizations manage to stick around...year after year.

  i figure understanding why is the start.

  if you are waiting for cherished relatives and friends to "see the light", these books might help.

  hi all, its time i stopped lurking around here.

  i've been posting at jws for just over a year, i know a few names here and it looks like there is lots of good banter going on.. i am a second generation, born-in who grew up in west-central scotland.

  i pioneered in edinburgh and later married and settled in berwick just south of the border.

  Welcome from a Scots fan here. (Besty's wife). My first domino was the Mediator teaching - only took 3 days with a little help from Besty to realise it had all been a scam. Not a good feeling but life goes on and gets better by the day. Became a born again Christian but, like you, later arrived at the conclusion that God probably isn't there. It feels very good to be free of all the superstition.....

  It's always great to read about another awakening - it gives us all hope for our loved ones still held captive.

  Look forward to reading more from you......

  i am still a member of the jw's organization.

  i have been puzzled over some of the teachings for many years but as i seemed to be the only one querying things among my local jw's i felt as if i was going crazy.

  i was very relieved to find this site, a few months ago, full of evidence to back up my findings, and so much more.. i am so grateful to you all.. i do not want to leave the organization until i have planted some seeds in my family to open their eyes.

  How to Deal With Boy Conflicts?

  by sweet pea in

  .

  just wanted some input on a dilemma a friend is having.. her son was punched the other day in the privates by one of his best friends (they are 8 years old) - the parents are best friends too.

  the son now doesn't want to see the other boy and the whole situation, especially the way the other parents are dealing with the matter (not making the boy apologise in person), is putting a serious strain on all the relationships.. what would you do in this situation?

  London Walks are the one of the best, inexpensive ways to spend a couple of hours.

  Pollos Old Compton Street, Soho - GREAT (Italian Cafe - basic, looks like a real dive) place to eat, really cheap - go for the pasta.

  Never been to Roxy Bar but the Ritzy in Brixton is a great place to catch a movie and there's a fab place to eat along the road called the Satay Bar

  Tate Modern is always worth a look

  The Barbican often has good free music - check out what's on when you'll be there

  Have a fabulous time!!
