  troubled by reports of the very problems that were supposed to be only the mark of false religions peadophilia (and hiding it) and hypocrisy (supporting the un) many honest hearted jws, it seems, have slowed down their meeting attendance and field ministry.

  what has the society done to calm these very real worries concerning actual, not imagined, problems.. .

  simple.

  Waiting...thanks for pointing out those missed highlights!...

  That is a form of psychology by saying things the way they did...I hate it when they play psychology tricks!.The "Inexperienced " won't know what hit them!

  I knew of someone that did this to people as a game!. That is one of the lowest forms of human kind in my opinion!. WBTS included!. They asked the questions in such a way that you (example) would be "inexperienced" if you believed anyone but them!...What they don't realize is that ...Somethings are better to be inexperienced at ...!

  They are

  "Experienced liars"

  "Experienced Pedophiles"

  "Experienced Manipulators"

  "Experienced Money collectors"

  "Experienced Family Dividers"

  The list goes on!

  Glad I'm inexperienced!

  Well..he's sleeping again.He does that a lot now.

  I am afraid to talk to anyone for fear of losing it!..I feel like I want to wait until it's all over........The booklets they gave me really helped me. I can see the stages they go through..I was afraid I was doing something wrong. I am so glad to read that the things he does and says are part of the process. I think the pastor thinks I have a problem..the way I was going on about the witnesses on the phone to her! If she only knew! Maybe I should talk to her! I still can't believe she has visited other witnesses..

  He talked to his Mom again today...she wanted her sisters phone number!..(A non-witness). She wasn't sure she had the right one.Can you imagine? I gave her the right number!. She wanted to talk to her..I guess she ran out of witnesses to talk to!..Her sister was complaining that she(my mother in law) hardly ever answered her letters.Now she wants to talk to her non JW sister. I wonder whats up?

  Also..he told her again that the pastor called..and she goes off telling him "She knows you are a JW..why is she bothering you?".(The pastor only called once).Well he gets really confused now..so you can only talk basics to him. So I told him to tell her.."She is trying to get the witnesses to visit you!"..and he did. Then he tells her that our daughter has volunteered to get her and bring her here to visit for 2 or 3 days! and all of a sudden she says.."She (My daughter)will probably call me about it and then she suddenly had to hang up!... I don't think she liked my repeating the comment about the Pastor trying to get a witness to visit him!.Oh well! I enjoyed it.

  And about his ashes..he wanted them sprinkled at the Kingdom hall he went to.But he didn't know many people there..I didn't feel comfortable with that.So with him being so devoted to his Mom and Dad..I thought it would be nice for him to think he would be with his Dad's ashes.Sprinkled at the KH his Mom goes to.He went there a few times also and knew more people there. I haven't mentioned it to his Mom yet..That one appeals to him and..I want him to be happy..He will always be in my heart!.

  Our other daughter is coming over tomorrow. Hopefully I will get out and pick up a few things we need. I wonder if the witnesses will come tomorrow?...Maybe I will pay a visit to the assembly hall around the corner!.... And drag someone back!

  Hugs to all of you!

  And Leslie..Hubby and I were also the only one helping the Mother in law for the last few years.The wicked apostate daughter in law! The witnesses were too busy and we were free!! I know a witness lady there that was put in a nursing home because no one was available to help her!..She would cry because they let her lay in her own waste in the nursing home. Where were the witnesses to help her? They just recently had her memorial

  I anyone E Mailing her?...Thank you so much for the story!...

  In my case I will be shunning them. Hubby has terminal cancer and I will have nothing to do with his JW family later!. It is taking everything I have in my body..to read his literature to him and not make comments...Then he decides to tell me how wonderful Jehovah is!...he still thinks he is a bad person and that is why no "Brothers" have come to see him.Even after 3 calls asking for a visit. He thinks "Jehovah" is punishing him for not being a good person by not having them visit. DUH...it couldn't be because they aren't doing their job could it?

  Snoozy...

  My heart goes out to anyone being shunned! Uness they are a JW.

  Thanks Leslie. Thats what she said!..I may take her up on it..but hubby would have a fit!. At first he thought she wanted to come and see him. He got panicky..until I explained. His mind blow things out of proportion now. I talked with him today about very personal things.. Since he cant think too clear sometimes..I had to ask him about his ashes..etc. I'm glad thats over!. He wants his and his Dad's spread out at the Kingdom hall where his Mom lives.She has been carrying his Dad's ashes around in the back of her car for about 3 years!..In a cardboard box!..Those people are strange..

  So I lost him to that religion in his last days and now his Mom gets his ashes...Do you know how much that hurts? I have 4 empty cemetary plots but he doesn't want to be buried.

  He has had me read the daily text to him since he can't concentrate to read anymore..I just want to grit my teeth while I am reading!

  The Pastor called this morning and asked what Kingdom hall had hubby attended. I told her the Riverwood cong. She called them and left a mesage but as of late this afternon she called me to tell me nobody returned her call!...And the witnesses STILL haven't called or come by. I dont know where the phone rings when you call the listed number in the phone book. I would think it got forwarded to a elder or someone!..What if there was an emergency with someone having to go to the hospital and the blood issue came up...sorry ..nobody answers the phone!..How do they get in touch with the laison committee?

  I used to say the witnesses didn't bother me..but with all that has been going on since he becam sick..between his JW family and the Elders. I am really building up a hate for them!..Maybe I do need to talk to a pastor!..

  Thank you all!...You keep me going!.. Hospice is wonderful. I called them this morning and they called right back. Told me to just give hubby liquids for now and see if it stays down. I was looking through the booklets they give out...That will bring a tear or two!..Also some very good information on what to expect. It was so helpful. I see him doing so many of the things in different stages. It made me feel so much better. We both had a good nights sleep. He was even able to discuss where he wants the hospital bed. That is a big step for him.

  And guess what......The pastor called me!..I told them what congregation he went to and she told me that she has visited several JW's..I was thinking..can this be?.(The pastor is a she).She is going to call them!..I would love to see their faces when they get THAT phone call!..They always preach how they are servants to their people....yeah right!.He got a phone call from them and a promise to see you as soon as we can. Lets see what happens after this phone call. If hubby's brother in law called and asked them to visit and no one visited ..then the pastor calls and asks them to visit..and they do...Who has the priority? They will just be doing it to look good to the world..not out of concern for him!..JMO

  Snoozy.....

  ps..The pastor also asked about me!.Did I need a visit?...Who did I have?..I almost started crying. I guess I am in spiritual limbo..thanks to the JW's. .They just about ruined all religion for me...Anyone else feel that way? It's funny..I can still pray but I don't know if I can believe there is a god....and I don't use any name! I say God!...

  Well..it's 11:00 PM here. Hubby has had a lousy day. He ate as soon as the nurse left and got sick. I don't know if it is because she was poking on him...nervousness or his illness.Then he ate dinner and got sick again!

  I guess I should get some sleep while I can..but he just looked like it finally hit him!..I feel so sorry for him.He looks so scared. I am waiting until tomorrow to call the nurse. He is sleeping pretty good now.

  I don't now if I'm ready for this!

  Treasure your loved ones!

  WELCOME..........and to Mom too!

  I am married to a JW and have 3 grown children and 6 grandchildren and One Great Grandchild! (Plus one added step-grandchild last year...

  And I did it all myself!..(Just Kidding)

  I was a witness many years ago but disassociated myself.The kids were witnesses but left also.When I left..hubby decided to become a more active one....Hummmmmmm

  Hubby has a terminal cancer..If he doesn't make it..I will be "Shunning" his family!...I will never have any thing to do with another witness!...Cold ?...maybe..but there was a lot of pain involved with having JW relatives!

  Snoozy.......aka...Golden Girl...

  Online safety on the Internet

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just some general points:.

  i would caution anyone against giving out personal information to other people or getting involved or intimate with people online that they do not really know.. people can, will and so use this site to make new friends and for the vast majority of the time, everything is fine with no problems.

  however, just as some of the people who visit this site can be vulnerable so some may be looking for vulnerable people to take advantage of and i will not tollerate anyone trying to do this.. most people like to use the chatroom to flirt a little occassionally but you should be careful about letting things go too far.. the new forum is much more secure and protects personal information while still allowing them to get in touch if they want.

  Thanks for the intelligent warnings Simon..it always amazes me when people give out their phone numbers and addresses in E Mail also or even full name...Pictures even make me nervous...as much as I enjoy them..it scares me when people post their pictures..especially the young and pretty ones!!... That could even be more dangerous!..They don't know just how scary people can be!

  .Thanks for the reminders!
