  i have been reading the forum the past couple of days, actually i am finding it hard to pull myself away.

  i stumbled upon it by accident - searching some thing lead to another and another and here i am.. 3rd generation ex-jw here.

  got out fairly young.

  hardest conversation of my life

  by metaspy in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  moments ago, i talked to my mom.. i told her that i was taking some time off from going to meetings and service.. the conversation went down hill from there.. as her usual she just dismissed my reasons as if they meant nothing.. i pointed to the child molestations as my main reason for leaving.. "you are being over-sensitive", "jehovah takes care of things in his own time", "rely on jehovah".

  those were the catch phrases of the conversation.. a new one was: "what have you been reading?".

  i have a hard time standing up to my mother.

  An update

  by emilyblue in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  some of you may remember me from last spring/summer.

  i was the one who kept begging her jw boyfriend to take her back after every breakup.

  i came back in here the other night to read some of my past posts and replies, basically to keep myself from calling him.. i moved back to my home state this summer and am teaching here and spending tons of time with my family.

  Do you let your dub relatives watch your kids?

  by avishai in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this was mentioned on another topic but it needs it's own thread.

  ok, i'm gonna say it again.

  if your relatives will not speak to you.... do not let them have any contact with your children, period.

  "2008" End of this system...??

  by breeze in

  my theory

  maybe the org was right with all of their predictions about the timeline of 607bc 1914?

  except for the small difference, the time that jesus spent on the earth was exempt from the calculations?
