  i took my mother a plate of food today, thanksgiving dinner.

  she won't cook it because it's, well, thanksgiving, but she was sitting there waiting for me to bring her a plate of turkey and dressing.

  i came in and said, "mom, i brought you some food.

  Did You See "Coverups" In The Congregation?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i did many times.

  if a family member was well connected, things would be swept under the carpet.

  but if you didn't know the right people, you'd be taken into the "back room" and the elders would grill you.

  2. bible

  i have been called an apostate in the past week by my sil, my stepdad, and my soon to be ex-wife.

  it didn't help that apostasy was featured in this past weeks wt study, a point my ex was quick to remind me.... .

  i have done a quick search in the wt cd rom to see how many times the word apostate or derivatives appear (i searched "aposta*").. .

  Being Shunned

  by sadfox in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i knew this day was coming but i thought somehow there might be a loophole.. i had my "last supper" with my daughter on monday.

  i am disfellowshipped, her father and i are divorced, he is a witness, she lives with him and will be 18 on sunday the 5th.

  therefore as a baptized witness, she can no longer visit me and must keep communication to the bare minimum.

  Demonstrators at Bethel

  by Yizuman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  had any of you seen any demonstrators at bethel when you worked there?

  i am curious as to what any of you thought of them when you seen them holding signs and passing out pamphlets to jws as they were all walking by.

  if any had seen them, did they have any impact on your life in any way?

  Things you are now embarrassed you disclosed on jwd

  by rebel8 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what are some things you posted here that you are now embarrassed about?

  here's a classic.

  it totally brought down a funny thread, and totally embarrassed me because others' reactions made me realize how dysfunctional my childhood was.

  what angers you about the truth

  by stillajwexelder in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  this angers me .

  elders who will not make shepherding calls to comfort their brothers and sisters but as soon as that brother or sister puts one little foot out of line those same f-----g (sorry about the language but it really angers me ) elders can not move fast enough to form a judicial committee and then are so unmerciful - it makes me want to vomit literally
