Elyse - HUGS to you. My mom also defended the org when I told her about the pedophile cases. Her response was that Satan is working very hard in these last days... I said yeah, but by using what is supposedly God's organization on Earth? Went right over her head... she refuses to hear anything bad about the JWs. It is very sad how close-minded they are, and how much fear they live in. Be glad that you are not enslaved in that horrible cult anymore.

Tried to get my mom to watch the NBC segment last night...
by Elyse867 inshe wouldn't watch it... i told her all about it, and she of course started defending it before i was even finished.
then we got into a long discussion, which was pretty one-sided, her telling me why the wts has the 'truth'.
i told her all my concerns, and tried asking the 'if the wts is god's one and only 'channel' to earth, why all the changes in doctrine' question, and she of course gave me the 'light gets brighter' bs answer.

Strange thing - the menatility of the disfellowshipped
by Billzfan23 ini was in target the other day with this girl that i have been dating for a few weeks - we were browing around, she was getting some housewares for a new apartment that she is moving in to..but that's neither here nor there... .
i turn the corner - and there stand a couple of dubs that were assigned to my book study when i was an elder last year.
one of them is 24 years old, the other is around 18 or 19 now.

Why were they shopping together? I thought family members were only supposed to socialize with DF family members only when necessary?
I agree, though, that the whole thing is so stupid.

You want everyone to stop using oil but do you eat meat?
by sammielee24 init takes 16 pounds of grain/grass etc to produce 1 pound of animal flesh which means that the biggest contributor to global warming isn't your car - it's animal produce.
now - we can scream about those gas guzzlers and the emissions they put out - but if we run out and buy ethanol or drive a prius - then we sit down to a steak dinner or chow down on those burgers...then don't you think that its a little ridiculous?
whats the answer?

I drive a Prius and I stopped eating meat because I saw a video on how the animals are slaughtered, not to mention all the drugs they pump into them.
Thanks for the info on the energy consumption. I didn't know this. Just one more reason...

Jehovah's Witnesses Are An Illogical People & They Should Be Embarrassed!
by minimus inquestion a witness in a very logical manner about their view of blood transfusions and blood fractions and see what you'll get.. ask a witness where in the bible it states that you can't talk to a disfellowshipped family member unless he or she lived in your home.. ask a witness why they need 2 witnesses to establish that a child has been molested but they don't need 2 witnesses to establish that a spouse has been unfaithful and that the accuser may now be free to "scripturally" remarry.. have a jehovah's witness prove to you that filling out a service report is necessary for a christian to have god's approval.. can you think of other proofs that the witness religion is totally illogical??

When I was little, I asked my dad why it was ok to eat meat when it looked like there was still some blood in it when it "leaked". He said it wasn't enough to make a difference as long as most of the blood was out. HA
Why is it ok to eat turkey on Thanksgiving (because they are cheap) but wrong to decorate your house in a winter theme (pine branches and holly).
Why are wedding customs accepted as ok when they have pagan origins?
Also, I'd like to know why it's wrong to go to college and support your family but it is ok to be a leech on the government or your family, and collect welfare, food stamps, disability, unemployment, etc., when people are able to work? The Bible says that a "man who does not provide for his family is worse than a person without faith." I would think that would apply to a single woman as well (me). The leechers who had more time to spend in the stupid field "circus" were held in high regard while I was shunned for working my butt off to get a degree to support my child and could not make it to all the meetings. I finally got the message that I didn't belong with those people!
They can kiss my a$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you ever get nausea when encountering JW stuff
by Sirona ini thought after 7 years out i had done a pretty good job of getting my mind free of the jws.. then yesterday i went on youtube and typed in jehovah's witness.
after watching a few apostate videos, i came across a pro-jw video of a convention.
as i started the video and they started singing "we thank you jehovah" i got a mega wave of nausea and felt like i had to switch the thing off.. has this happened to you?

My mom really wanted me to go to the memorial last year with her, so I went and my stomach was in knots the whole time. Thank goodness it was a congregation where I didn't know anyone, but I just wanted to hurl the entire time. There is no way I can do that ever again. I know my mom will be disappointed next time it comes around.

List Reasons Why YOU Would NEVER Go Back To The "Truth"
by minimus ini recently saw my jw brother and sil and listened to them talk about poor sister sick(o) who has been diagnosed with major mental problems.
she went to the doctor's and the doctor supposedly began to berate her out of the blue because she is a jehovah's witness.
now the family wants to have the doctor formally rebuked for his so called "discriminatory comments".

I'm placing a Climax book with my new therapist
by oompa inyep, oompa started today with a new therapist who of course wanted to know if i had anything in particular that was the cause of me seeking his service.
so i kinda gave him a jwcult for dummy therapists cliffnotes version, and he seemed like he just couldn't believe some of it.
he understands my awakening has been difficult for me and the stress it has put on my wife and marriage/family.

Oompa - I'm so glad you went to a therapist - they do help in my opinion. HUGS and keep your chin up! You're awesome!
