The way I see it J.W don't respect other people views or religion. For example when I was out in service and would see a mormon ride by everybody got something neg to say what happen to treat others the way you would want to be treated you know. As far as Emma goes I say it was the HLC fault cause it was express to her I'm sure how Jehovah would had felt if she was to take that blood. My thing is yeah she would had gotten DA but she would still had her little family and sooner or later she could of had gotten reinstated again.

Should Jehovah's Witnesses honestly expect people to Respect their Beliefs?
by KW13 inhow can jehovah's witnesses honestly be suprised when someone cannot keep their opinions to themselves and take witnesses seriously when 99.9% of them are loyal to the organization before common sense?
(the rest of that percentage are here lol).. is this why the society put so much emphasis on the joys of persecution in the name of jehovah?
because they know that it is being done for all the 'right' reasons?

A service story
by B_Deserter inthis story starts out as any old day in service.
as one of only four regular pioneers in the congregation, i often found myself in car groups where i was the only male person.

YOUR DAILY JOURNAL
by compound complex indear 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.

Hey everyone, this is your local sailor. This morning I got up and went for a run to get ready for boot camp which is less than a month away. Toningt I got to do 20 sets of push up and 20 sit ups. Time is moving so slow. I quit my job so I can concentrate on getting ready for the Navy mentally and physically. I have to learn my Sailor Creed and 11 sentry rules. I'm so excited my job over there will be a military cop or call master at arms.My goal is to become a CSI when I finish. I want to live in Florida or California I plan to be single while I'm in the Navy (not married but just dating) so much fun to catch up on. Thats all the things I'm thinking about. I wish someone else could do my push ups for me.

I'm 20 and the same thing happen to my cousin who is 18. We were both raised as JW and we both got baptized. The only difference is that we both wanted out at different times. She wanted out a 16 and I wanted out just recently. She started dating a guy secretly while progressing in the "truth" ie. aux. pioneering and other stuff. Her overzealous mom my aunt kept putting her up it. (Trust me don't start advanceing) When she turned 18 everything started coming out because she was in love there is only so much you can silently hold inside before you start to explode on the inside. She told her mom that she no longer wanted to be a JW. My aunt said either be a JW or your ass is out. While she had to move out. We both were in college at the time. She moved in with her boyfriend family. She had to drop out but plans to go back. The point to all this is that leaving a lie is hard and you will lose you sanity. You say your in school maybe the best thing for you to do is live on campus. You have cool witness friends maybe ya could move in together. But don't put yourself in a position were you won't be able finish what you started cause right now school is the most important thing for you. You can always date other guys you did say it was just casual.

What about your JW past are you thankful for?
by nvrgnbk inin the interest of self-healing and finding the peace that comes from being grateful, can you think of anything at all that was positive about having been one of jehovah's witnesses?.
not to be misunderstood with missing something about it, is there something about the experience that has enriched you?.
to answer the question myself, being forced to face the fallacies of the teachings of jwism, i was also prompted to look past those teachings and reevaluate everything i believed in.. that experience was frightening and unsettling, but i'm thankful for it.. i now have a greater appreciation for life in all its wonder than i did when i took it for granted as one of jehovah's witnesses.. i'm more determined now to find meaning in this life, after having lived for so long for a future that was never to arrive..

Hey Jeff the same thing happen to me except I was in the truth and my mom is Df. I live with my mom and we had some very hard times very. My aunt lives a couple of blocks away and never came over to check up on me or my my mom to make sure we where breathing. I stop going to the meetings too depress and I felt very rejected. We move a to a city 30 minutes away still no vistors my other family is very active in the truth and knew all our personal info to get in touch with me. Hell the friends travel to this city constantly it wasnt tell I made my decision to join the Navy (I needed to move on with my life) that my phone started to ring off the chain. My aunt realized she had other family and the friends offer to take me to the meetings. I was in a serious car accident left me at home constantly besides when I would bum a ride from my worldly coworker who seem to give a s@#t. I would say everybody influence my decision to join trying to cut my mom off the ended up cuttin me off and now I dont want to go back cause i still got some self-esteem left in me to realize who you true friends are in a time of need.

Its not going to be easy this for sure. If you look at it your sister standpoint when she leaves she will have nothing. She will feel shame and feel like she signed over her own death wish. Only thing I can think of is associating with her and ask her questions about certain beliefs without being defensive and then show her what you learn. It will take time and patience. Dont forget to around her children so you can feel her in on their lives.
