Hello, I'm new here!

by Lone_Wolf in

my story is much like others.

i have found a faith to call my own, thankfully.

my parents don't agree with it, though they are very much still in my life, whether it's in my head or on the phone.

Whats the funniest thing you've ever seen happen in the KH?

by shell69 in

i remember being a kid and we didnt have the fancy fabric seats, they were plastic stackable chairs all set out in the usual lines.. an elderly bro, rather rotund, farted, the noise so loud and thundering against the plastic seat!

or the time when i must have been about 7, my dad brought his bible study family to their first ever meeting, i had to sit on mums knee.

i recall giving the daughter of the new family a very vigorous v sign during the meeting.

The time a very large sister walked down from the front of the hall and her skirt fell off, All we could see was her Granny Panties (my mother always told us to wear a slip).....she reached down picked up her skirt and marched into the bathroom.

I would have booked it out of the hall so fast, instead, after she was done with the bathroom, walked right back up front and finished out the meeting.

If Your Spouse Told The Elders On U, Is That a Marital or Religious Problem

by minimus in

jw
friends

if a faithful devout jw saw her husband on a board like this or reading "apostate" literature, if she was so disturbed by her husband's actions and the husband justified himself, would you think that if she told the elders because she was truly concerned that her mate was going to leave "the truth" and ultimately not make it into the "new system", --------that this was simply a marital issue-----not a religious one?.

your opinions please..

jeanne40love

This is a marital problem. But obviously the religion ads a special element to it. And, the sister is afraid....so afraid.... Sad. Sad. Sad.

Apology for raising children in the Truth

by jeanne40love in

would you apologize in writing to your children for raising them in the truth?

i've apologized verbally........ none of them is going to meetings any longer...... my husband and i have been drifting away for several years..... .

i was raised a witness, and thought we were doing the right thing.

jeanne40love

Thanks everyone. I'm pleased to say that my adult children are fine with everything. Thankfully they didn't subject themselves to this whole experience much longer then while living at home. My eldest says his head is clear, he holds no grudges, and is fine with how he was raised. My daughter was baptized at 15 and has not ever really had a grasp of the whole "religious experience" she is moving on also.

Our youngest is doing fine, we are trying to be normal loving caring parents giving sold direction to benefit her for her future...and yes I mean college.

Suicide the bible's view

by jeanne40love in

how does the bible view suicide?.

a few acquaintances of mine in the "truth" committed suicide and when the memorial talks were given, they were handled very differently.

at one hall the brother (ms) who took his life....his life was celebrated....there was comfort for everyone.

I was raised a witness, and thought we were doing the right thing. I have been consumed by fear and despair....for so many years, and I am unable to handle the incredible scrutiny placed on me by the individuals in the organization..... I would rather have my creator scrutinize me.......

by unique1 in

i was laying in bed and trying to drift off to sleep.

all of a sudden i had a vision of my father building our dining room table.

we moved when i was four and this was at our old house so i must have been pretty young.

jeanne40love

You are grieving.....it is an incredible process for anyone.

I'm sorry about your dad....Maybe he will come to his senses before too long. How long have you ben estranged?
