The Depths They Will Sink To.....
by sweet pea in
1. jw
2. experiences
having almost gotten over my jw ex-best friend telling me she could no longer be my friend, handing me back my spare keys, sending a note and present to my kids with not even a 'dear sam', shunning me in the park, etc, etc she now sacks her immigrant cleaner (who became her cleaner due to my recommendation a year ago) by text message.

cleaner phones her to check out what's going on and she tells her you can no longer clean for us as you work for sam and my husband wants us to have no connection whatever - you may tell her things about us and we don't want that.

charming, another kick in the stomach for me and a great witness to the cleaner (who ironically we found out a few months ago has a father who is a witness!).

by shunning inactive or df'd ones, i'm sure that the watchtower unravels the red carpet to apostate internet sites.. what is a shunned person supposed to do?

This WT article makes me mad.... this is evil
by dawg in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
it's bad enought that young people in the wt have to sell magizines, risk shunning when they find out the truth about the gb... but this article really makes me laugh and angry at the same time.

the part that made me the maddest was when the father said he "conquered" the habit, lying bastard!

Dating a df girl who wants to go back - Do I have a chance?
by mrburns in
1. social
2. relationships
having read some of the previous posts, i'm pretty sure what the majority answer will be.

my situation is similar.

we met a little over a year ago, she got df over her relationship with me, something that put her in a pretty long depression that she gradually grew out of (with some notable setbacks along the way).

Leaving a Cult~Recovery

the information on the internet is very abundant about the watchtower and all its dirty little secrets.

all the information is out there, exposing what they don't want us to know.

past research has been done`` so now its much easier to present it to those willing to listen.

YOUR DAILY JOURNAL
by compound complex in
1. jw
2. friends
dear friends,.

much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.

however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.
