Children Who Leave Always Come Back to the Society

by ataloa in

i heard this in a car group one day.

a young single mother said she always heard that growing up.

when she left she was adamant she would never be back, and now here she was.. is this true for the most part?.

Velvetann

I too wish there was some statistics on this. I think way back before the internet and support groups for xjws that yes many went back.

I did. I was disfellowshiped when I was 18, was raised in the "truth". I went back when I was 29 because I thought it might be the truth and I didn't want my babies to die at Armageddon. I faded after 7 years as I was not getting the love or encouragement needed from the Org. I would never go back again.

What is your favorite summertime outdoor grill food?

anybody have any favorites?

.

i like a big sirloin cooked medium rare with a baked potato butter & sour cream.. .

Velvetann

Hey Outlaw, thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it, and will try the chicken broth trick. Now just have to decide what fish to choose. My husband says trout or salmon but I don't want bones either....... I am so fussy. I am going to experiment and hopefully find something because I am totally trying to get off Meat. I need a chef

i never eat fish at home because I do not know how to cook it but at the reataurant I have had sole almondine and it is to die for............wish I knew how to do it.

Its definitely BBQ season, we mostly do chicken souvlaki on the grill, I don't eat beef anymore.

Eating chicken every night is getting boring

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to grill/BBQ fish and what kind of fish is there that doesn't smell or taste "fishy". My husband says deep fry it but I don't want to fat.

I saw the post here on this thread for salmon and it sounds good but I find salmon to smell and taste fishy. For some reason I have an aversion to smelly food. I also hate the smell of lamb.

I know I should be eating fish but I have always gagged at the fishy odour. I have no idea how to cook it and make it smell and taste good and not overcook it.

Help me please

They are tiring out....

by Hope4Others in

i had some relatives stop in saturday they were in town for a wedding, hard core jw's, he's an elder has been for years and years.

anyway i was surprised on how the visit went.

i have not seen them in a couple of years they of course must know .

Velvetann

That is Good News Hope, more JWs tiring out and getting discouraged. Not good news that they have wasted their lives and so much time and can't see the light, and.the fact that the Watchtower Society is a Lie.

I know they are your family and it must hurt to see that they can't quite understand what is going on.
