  Would you give your life for a JWD poster ?

  by JH in

  would anyone here give their life for me ?

  .

  i'm saying this because the jw's always told me that they would give their lives for any brother or sister......can you feel the love... so, i was wondering if we have just as much love on jwd.

  Mr. Flippers Son Anti-Witnesses to his Fanatic Witness Mother

  by flipper in

  so, my 22 year old son called me this morning and said his witness mom, my ex, sent him this website link- http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,313683,00.html .

  it is an artcicle about a 14 year old witness boy with leukemia who died because of refusing a blood transfusion.

  doctors said he would have had a 70 % chance of surviving to live a normal life if he had accepted blood.

  i have been enduring a barrage of text messages tonight.

  they are from an ex, who was telling me that she was thinking about us working out until i told her i was going to the new year's fest in the big d.. she always was paranoid about this place.

  are we your "dirty little secret"?.

  No my husband (never a JW) is very pleased that I have found support on JWD. He has seen me cry buckets over being a JW, finding out it's all a lie, and having my son still a JW with all that it entails.

  FLIPPER

  We ran a cat over once and I was so upset. We knew the owner as she was a neighbour so we wrapped it in a blanket and went to her house. It was dark when it happened so we didn't see the poor thing and the owner didn't blame us but I felt really bad about it for a long time afterwards.

  And By Their Fruits You Will Know Them

  by VanillaMocha73 in

  2. experiences

  so.... i took my mom to the doctor today, and my grandma (adopted) walked in, looked right at me and just looked away.

  no smile, nothing....

  this is the woman whom i have taken to the hospital, whom i have stayed with time after time when she had surgery so i could help her, whom has known me since i was tiny..... can you imagine not even smiling or acknowledging someone you have known since infancy, who has shown so much love and loyalty for you over the years?

  I have been on the receiving end of shunning in the past and it is a horrible thing to go through, especially hurtful when it's close family. So sorry you had to experience this, it certainly is rotten fruitage.

  The WT took my spirituality from me and held it prisoner. Now I have it back and my spirit can soar.

  SWEETSTUFF - You made me get a lump in my throat with your post. I did enjoy Christmas when I was young and not being married to a JW meant it still went on in my house although I had to try not to be a part of it which caused problems with my husband. I really hope you and every poster a really wonderful Christmas to make up for all the ones you didn't have.

  2. friends

  i just recived an e-mail from an active jw friend of mine, he was replying to the utube e-mail i sent him on the molestation cover ups.

  he knows the jw are shite, but he's conflicted becasue all his family is still in.

  it made me sad, he's young and knows its shite but doen't know what to do.

  DAWG - I think you are very brave and have great integrity to do this. I believe that we should at least try to let people know the truth about the borg otherwise how will they ever have a chance to find out. Once they know they can make a choice to get out themselves. If they choose to stay in, then a seed has been planted and they may act on it at a later date. I am glad I told my son about the abuse cover-ups even though I didn't get the reaction I hoped for at the time. Well done!
