  Update on my recently disfellowshipped niece

  i had posted about a month ago that my niece, who just turned 15, was getting disfellowshipped.

  i learned this past weekend that she tried to commit suicide.

  between being df'd, and her dad not being around, it became too much for her.

  I had posted about a month ago that my niece, who just turned 15, was getting disfellowshipped. I learned this past weekend that she tried to commit suicide. Between being df'd, and her dad not being around, it became too much for her. She spent a couple days in an institution after getting out of the hospital.

  The good news is that she's doing a lot better. She spent the weekend with me and my fiancé. She's in counseling now. She also confided in us that she doesn't want to be a JW when gets out of school. Once she turns 18 and moves out of her mom's house, she's done with it all.

  At least there's something positive to take from it.

  Where did Jehovah go ?

  by Deleteandrestart in

  2. experiences

  for the many years i was mentally " in " the congregation, i equated the organisation as interchangeable with the persona of jehovah, in effect whatever the organisation said or thought, that was what jehovah thought and that was what jehovah said.... it was that simple.

  so when i found out the ttatt and the cynical moves of the organisation over the years,including 1975 , the donation arrangements, the united nations, etc i was devastated and thought " where's jehovah in all of this?".

  the god who i'd poured my heart out to on many occasions and who i thought was silently listening and hearing my pleas ..... was not there , .

  Hi deleteandreset-

  You cope by not thinking about what you've lost, but rather, what you 've gained. You're free now. Free to be the person you were meant tobe, without the constrictions of worrying about whether or not what you're doing meets the approval of the organization, and by extension, Jehovah.

  Figuring out what that is may be easier said than done, but at least you can do so without guilt or judgment.

  here in uk we have appalling choice between cameron / corby and some also rans.

  are trump/clinton best the worlds superpower can offer up?

  all candidates for office seem to be flawed , are no genuine people putting themselves forward?

  There's Bernie Sanders who got quite a groundswell of support in a short period of time. He's not likely to win but he does represent a sizeable portion of the US.

  Yeah, it's really too bad he doesn't have the delegates in his back pocket the way Hillary does. I voted for him in the primary, and would certainly vote for him over any Republican.

  Today's Study - Shun Disfellowshipped Family, Don't Marry Outsiders, Tell On Others!

  by Divergent in

  urghhh... what a disgusting study!7 a conflict of loyalties may arise when a close relative is disfellowshipped.

  for example, a sister named anne received a telephone call from her disfellowshipped mother.

  the mother wanted to visit anne because she felt pained by her isolation from the family.

  what sort of reactions have you gotten when talking to other jw when telling them the "truth about the truth"?

  its funny ive read some stories on here about how they have become so infuriated by what logic dictates as being true and their own denying of it because it completely screws up their belief and shows how hypocritical it is xd some look like a nuclear reactor about to blow xd.

  share you experiences here :) .

  I've only talked to one, who I still considered a friend after leaving. He opened the door for me by telling me about his own ordeal in which he was nearly disfellowshipped for apostasy.

  I proceeded to tell him why I no longer attended meetings, and all the things I thought were wrong with the organization. He agreed with me on many points, even admitting he didn't believe that JWs had the absolute truth.

  This was a year ago, and I haven't heard from him since. I reached out a couple of times by phone, but he never called me back.

  i see the jw rumour mill is going into mad overdrive about prince.

  the stories seem to be more and more unlikely.

  so i thought as a bit of fun how about us here try to make up our own rumours?

  Watchtower only said no because they were afraid that the end might not come until the end of 2000

  They also didn't want the brothers and sisters 'partying like it was 1999'. It didn't convey the right sense of urgency.

  He's actually Samuel Herd's love child. Not a rumor. It's been confirmed by several reliable JW sources I know.

  Also, Golden State winning 73 games was unbelievable! Too bad they will lose to my Celtics in the NBA finals

  If Golden State loses to anyone, it will be the Spurs. Celtics won't get the chance.
