  My 14-year-old niece is being disfellowshipped

  i was contacted by my ex sister-in-law yesterday.

  she asked me if i wanted to spend some time with my niece, while she went to her sister's baby shower.

  it turns out my niece can't go because she's about to be disfellowshipped at the ripe old age of 14. .

  Hopefully your brother can use this as an opportunity to bond and support your neice.

  Unfortunately, he moved out of state after she took the kids half way across the country, and he lost his job. In fact, that was her initial reason for contacting me, to find out how to get a hold of him. They are in communication now, so we'll see what happens.

  Hopefully you can continue to support her buy showing love and kindness even if your still in.

  I've been out, myself, for over ten years. As much as I would like to be able to tell her it's all bs, I'm just happy to spend whatever time with her I can.

  Hi KS--good to see you posting again--even though its a sore subject.

  I still check in from time to time, but I'm trying to distance myself from anything JW related as much as possible. Occasionally, such as now, I need to come on here and vent.

  It just boggles my mind that they can treat someone who's still just a child in such a way. It was so cute, and precious, when she was an unbaptized publisher at 10, and baptized at 11. Then puberty and teen angst came along, and it wasn't so cute and precious anymore. The worst part is that she's acting out because her mom went out of her way to make sure her dad(my brother) couldn't have a relationship with her, and now she misses having her dad around.

  I know it's been said many times on this forum, but I really hate this fucking cult!

  lostwun here, i joined 2 months ago but am now just finding the courage after doing more research to formally introduce myself to the board and embrace my new beginnings as an ex-jw.

  i am a second-generation jw.

  i grew up with parents who are well known and very respected in many circuits.

  If you didn't hold a title of reg pioneer/ms/ elder than basically you are nothing and that type of thinking never sat well with me.

  hi i've been a jw my whole life and i'm 17 now.

  i've never had a mine of my own and recently i started thinking more open minded and i know the being a jw isn't for me.

  i feel like i've been in a bubble my whole life.

  Whatever you do, don't get baptized.

  Ditto. It was the single biggest mistake of my life. It kept me enslaved in the religion for years because I feared the consequences that being DF'd would bring.

  What is their official explanation for not allowing beards?

  by keyser soze in

  2. friends

  i ask because my gf, who knows all about my jw upbringing, convinced me to grow a goatee, just to see how it looks.

  we both decided it looked good so i decided to keep it.

  i tried to explain to her that as a jw, i wasn't allowed to grow one, but then drew a blank when she asked me why.

  So the official reason was "Because we said so"? Did they ever give a more in-depth explanation in print, I guess is what I'm asking.

  What is truth?

  well, i have been lurking on this site for several months and i recently decided to join as a member.

  i have made several observations and would like to make a few comments.. first, i am perplexed by the attitude of many on this site that are either former or active (but apostate) jws.

  they seem to have a strong hatred for the wts and also for rank and file jws.

  Why are you only exposing the so called lies that are taught by JWs but allowing people to promote other false teachings? Are the other lies just harmless?

  Some are far more harmless than others. And if you've really studied the dynamics of this forum, you'd know that Christians don't get a pass from atheists for their beliefs. Faith, in general, is debated ad nauseum on this forum. And when people come on here promoting their own brand of Christianity, they get called out on it.

  Edit to add: Welcome to the forum. Love the user name. I hope you stick around, though maybe you could tone down the judgment a little. Everyone has their own journey.
