Who am I, Who would I be???

this is not to take away from the hardship a lot of people had due to abuse and other things inhumane people had to suffer as a result of growing up a witness that i have never have had to deal with.

however, nearly all of the bad experiences i have had growing up that i can recall are a direct result of doing the wrong thing against "jehoober" and the guilt that goes along with it.

man made rules, forced confession, missing meetings, not good enough, natural experiences growing up a dude - all bad/demonic, etc etc.

i forwarded the link to the uk jw donation site to my father a couple days ago as for me, it was christendom at its best - give me cash even when you don't have it.

he probably wouldn't be a jw if it wasn't for her and i am hesitant to say too much to him because of her.

she is a loyal (even though they had to get df'd to get married) .

non-jw mother in law getting witness visits

hiya all, .

as a df'd person i often get jealous when people post about instilling doubts when i don't really get the chance seeming i out.

however, my mother inlaw gets a regular visitor from an older witness and she was asking about the "family happiness" book and how she didn't agree with some of the things said.

Glimmer of hope for my father?

first let me say - my father is a top bloke and always has been a down to earth kind of guy.

i am df'd but he treats me and my "worldly" wife like nothing has happened regarding the truth.

he was himself an elder once and also df'd once.

there has been a few posts regarding happy marriages and the 2 witness rule which reminded me of an experience you might find funny.

i'd like to know if anyone else has done anything like this.... there was a married couple with 3 kids in our cong.

he was an ms but a nasty piece of work.

Ever Got the blame?? (sorry if post is too long)
by sparrow in
1. jw
2. experiences
i have been df'd for around 4 years and have not got my back up about the org until this year.

only this last year have i been looking around for answers and started realising there is a foundation for my reasons of not going back.

at first i was happy that it wasn't because i was making excuses for not going back but bad things were happening outside of the people i know across the org.. what pissed me off the most (and the reason i found this site) is because i got the blame for my brother in-law having sex in my house with someone other than his wife (my sister) because i am not witness and thus have low standards.. i'll try to keep this short: i have 2 sisters, one brother and 2 parents (fancy that) both remarried however.
