i thought long and hard about posting this but the mis-information on this site finally persuaded me, i already accept many may not accept what i say on face value and get their appologist pens ready for making sure no pro-witness propaganda slips through the net on this site but here goes....... i've been on this forum for a few months my first post was about how i was thinking of returning to jw's and at my sisters recommendation to look at this site for both sides of the story before taking that step.. i faded from jw's 10/11 years ago now i left my hubby at the time divorced him to going on to have more relationships and kids, i was definately given the impression after asking on this site and with what i read that if i tried to return i might face df or at least a jc but definately a couple of elders questioning me over what i've been upto these last few years - none of these have happened.

i talked with an old jw friend (yes i do have then and she never shunned me quite happily accepted an offer of coffee from me and my asking for a chat) i told her i was interested in going back and was very frank about what i done in the last 10 years but not sure how returning was done now, she quite happily said she go ask for me to find out.. result!

she came back this week and said "all i had to do was goto meetings again" and an offer of a study was there for me if i wanted it to explore the open doubts that i had expressed i now had.. not quite the fire and brimstone welcome this site led me to believe would happen.. i will keep you posted with further updates if i feel the need to put them in future.. .

District Conventions are awful if you have kids. (Learn why!)

i know that many of you have not been to distric conventions in some time, but what i am about to describe is a recent trend.. 1. more people than seats.

for the past six or seven years, they've tried cramming too many congregations into one convention hall at one time.

in many cases, if you do not get to the convention more than an hour before the program starts and you need more than a couple of seats, you cannot find seats.

just being there is what matters, seems to be a theme.

as he was going up on the way, there were small boys that came out from the city and began to jeer him and that kept saying to him: "go up, you baldhead!

go up, you baldhead!

Lol becky, you've been 'going back for years......' its easier said than done tho.

Im now embracing a life without the org, I mean I had a really good go at the JW life and was not accepted and made to feel it also..... unspoken. I didnt see this great love that marked the JWS and when your an outsider always an outsider, there not gonna embrace me back, they will for a while whilst they can count their ministry time talking to you but after that you go back to being lonely and alone.

Go back to being just a number Becky but Im out and out for good.

PS if the person who asked about Beckys Baby looks into my old posts they will see that I posted a congradulations for her baby Elisabeth

in just a few weeks, this year will end and a new one begins.

nothing special, just 2006.. but when you analyse the jw doctrine, it is another nail in their already 91 nail studded coffin.

the watchtower has for decades taught that jesus' presence and rulership began in 1914. since changing the generation of 1914 doctrine, a whole decade has passed, with little in the way of anything new.

If a JW girl falls pregnant to a 'worldly person'...before marriage??

by Lantana in

i've had many encounters with jw's throughout the years and i've found them to be decent, caring people.

i've attending meetings, read a number of awake!

and watchtower publications and so on and so forth.. the book 'crisis of conscious' by ray franz was really eye-opening for me and served as a strong warning for those about to enter the organisation...its easy to fill in the blanks from there -- i never became a jw.

Becoming pregnant after just 'falling' on him..............
They have creams and pills to help him with that sort of male problem.
Sorry I couldn't resist......sometimes I can be so premature!

yes you are lol hehe and as a matter of fact i did fall on him, and I did get pregnant loll lol

Jehovah's Witness refuses blood for her unborn twins.

by nicolaou in

It's strange how mind conditioning can make people believe in the most ridiculous ideas and policies, in this case refusing blood voluntarily donated to save a life. It's not as if the donor died or was harmed in any way. There is no parallel with the death of an animal and its blood.

One day having a blood transfusion will be conscious based, and they will be a massive bite back from all the witnesses that have lost loved ones......... I can see it coming, it is such a major issue.

No child really should die in these circumstances in this day and age. Everything possible should be done without question to save a childs life. my two cents
