I AGREE!!! For all the idolatry they speak of, their building, magazines, titles, etc sure do mean so much to them.

Received this Reports and personal experiences from our dear brothers in
Japan are starting to come in thick and fast now. (so much for grammer)Here is a dramatic one from Brother Karl:

"All the congregations in our immediate area have reported
that all the brothers and sisters are accounted for. It is
believed that many of the brothers and sister who lived near
the coastline immediately headed for the high ground (flee
to the mountains) and were saved.

WHEN THEY FELT the earthquake and HEARD the sirens they acted
wisely. (Wow...)

Please keep your brothers and sisters here in Japan in your
prayers. Many have lost everything and ONLY have their brothers
and sisters now and maybe a few items that they have carried
with them. The brothers here are very organized as you might
have guessed and all will be cared for as soon as possible. (why would we have guessed that?!)

The news report says that from the time the 8.8 earthquake
hit and the first waves came it was less than 15 minutes in
some places. For 6 minutes the sea ONLY pushed and gained
momentum moving forward and pushing everything out of the way.
Then it started dragging everything back toward the sea.
Then it decided to come forward again so in effect it was a
giant washing machine . What a mess it made. (Really?!)

Japan is one of the most developed island nations in the world.
There is a tremendous amount of live footage from this disaster
and it is amazing to see huge oil tankers getting thrown around
like a toy boat. We will all no doubt be seeing this for many
weeks. It or a similar disaster could happen there close to you
so please be as prepared as you can. Think Ahead! Japan is
very used to tsunami's but nothing like this tsunami ever happened
before. Japan is used to earthquakes but nothing like this
has ever happened before. (Why is it amazing!? wouldn't a more appropriate word be terrifying?!)

Water mains are broken and electric power plants non-op are
all over the place.Not to mention reactors that they are
unable to shut down/turn off/cool down etc..etc

Inland and on the coast water and food and propane for cooking
and heaters and gas (in case you can drive to a relative or
friend in a safer area) are already in short supply.

Grocery stores are EMPTY! People are rushing to buy up anything
they think will better their chances for their daily survival.

Many people who did have a survival food supplies still lost
everything because their entire house floated away. It seems
the people in the hills are the ones who have more supplies
so it is good to think WHERE or with whom some emergency
supplies can be stored safely.

I tell you honestly that it is a very strange kind of scary
feeling when during the meeting we get a aftershock that shakes
the ground under the kingdom hall . Some sisters let out a
little scream and the brothers may have done the same. Our
Kingdom Halls are always build strong and nothing broke in
ours this time but it sure makes one think about where we
might be on the last hour of the last day of the system of
things. ???

One last amazing thing that I thought was awesome. The town
Sukagawa where our Kingdom Hall is has very little water right
now because the main water main is broken.

People are lined up a hundred deep or more to get water from
the water trucks that have been brought into the town. Our
Kingdom Hall was built on top of a spring and by the front
door there are two faucet's. The witnesses who live in the
town brought their water jugs with them to meeting to get water.
I was one of the water fillers. It was a great honor ( and a
good way to meet the brothers) and they are all happy because
they know where they can come and get fresh water. Their Kingdom
Hall has everything we really need. (I guess the Kinkgom hall and not their faith is what will eventually "save" them)

I asked a question.........

by iknowall558 in

20so the one that had received five talents came forward and brought five additional talents, saying, master, you committed five talents to me; see, i gained five talents more.

i will appoint you over many things.

22next the one that had received the two talents came forward and said, master, you committed to me two talents; see, i gained two talents more.

Fear....they called

by 4mylove in

well, i'm being brave enough to type from home.. apperently when my husband went to eh memorial one of the brothers asked him for his number and he provided it.

we were having a peaceful evening when he listened to a voicemail.. i am physically getting ill, shaking, crying and hoping this is nothing.. caller said, "it showed alot of respect by you coming to the memorial...".

i feel my life is over..... 4.

dgp, thanks for the support

Mad Sweeney, I've seen the reaction to that already. We were at a get together with some friends and the topic of religion came up. Again, these are friends of friends also. 4 of them are physicians and had just been to Sunday mass to appease their spouse's. Then the JW thing came up, and they were all in agreement that most believe they are a cult. The look on my husbands face hurt me. Not many know he was raised JW. On the way home he said he hated when people were closed minded. (Pot meet kettle).

I think it will always be a part of him, but don't want them to ever put any limits on his life or views.

Thanks to all for responding

Carla,

Thanks so much for your words. They are comforting in the fact that I'm not the 1st or the last to have to deal with it. Hopefully, one day they will truly be exposed.

@ Confuzzled. Thanks so much.

Part of the problem is that any time we do try to discuss it, there's a person on the other end of the conversation that I don't know. It's not my husband. He had been inactive for some time when I met him. I have a dear friend struggling with this cult also, she's been inactive for 2 years. But I think they do both still consider it the truth. I hate even typing those words.

I couldn't believe it when a dear friend who is just out of the closet, in his 40's, explained that he didn't like what the organization had done to him, yet turned around and said the their bible is so well translated it is used by scholars across many "lands". What the...."lands", really? You're gay and definately not accepted, but their brainwashing is still evident.

Thanks to those that understand. I don't want what I have to change.

Things I would lose:

1. My husband hanging out with my family. Luckily they love him unconditionally, which is more than I can say for his.

2. My trust in him, God only knows the shit ideas they would re-implant in his head.

3. My bless you after sneezes

4. My late mornings with him in bed when we're off together

5. Holidays with my entire family including him

6. The fact that I don't want to raise children in a cult

7. My husband

8. My friend

Thanks for the support.

To those that feel I over reacted, well, I'm glad you're in such a happy place.

To think that my life would completely change the moment he decided to go back is terrifying. Luckily there are no children involved. I have felt the wrath of these bastards and it is painful. When you have something so precious taken away from you, I physically hurts.

Thanks

Memorial 2010 Your Experiences

by scotinsw in

just got back from memorial.

only went so that i could say to my parents that i had gone and to remind myself why i left.. oh my word!!!

it was sooooo painful.. got there a bit late - it was a couple of minutes into the talk.

4mylove

It was a long night. Very somber. The hubby decided to go. Later he got texts from his sisters saying "mom will be so proud". "i just want you to know that I love you...." Really?! I couldn't tell since it's the first time I saw her text or say that to her brother in 4 years! Conditional love....gotta love it. She also believes that Jehova is changing hearts.....she must be speaking of her own.

One said they attendance was 142 the other said 630. The 1st if from a very small town. The other lives in a bigger city. 630, really? The hubby carried on non-chalantly, then I went to the kitchen and saw them.....the memorial thing and a watchtower. It's very different from the others I've seen in the past.

The next day I was at a doctors office and saw two craptowers. I threw them away....
