  Thanks everyone, I would not be afraid to offer the book to many jw but, this is my family and I do fear them fearing me if I give it to them, like they view me as the ENEMY. On the other hand, if they would decided to read it and it would release them of the bond to the WT. they may be happy that I gave it to them. Maddening, for sure, which way path do I take????

  Witness 007 returns to wife and meetings..I give up! Sorry no choice!

  my wife's been having mental problems since hurting her back at work...we split for 8 weeks {her doing} then she rings me and says she "can't cope and is lonely" so i return {the drama continues} she seems more stable, sleeping all night...what a change!

  her mood had become alittle more stable.

  she found a part time job, and has not been dragged off by security like her last job...much improved though she dropped 10 kilos in weight.

  Another thing I love about this forum NINJA is the humor, one thing that probably would get all jw's to read it is if, they thought it was porn rather then apostate.

  I have a question, do the JW' still believe that....,

  by cawshun in

  do the jw's still believe that they were chosen by jesus as god's one true religion, by what charles russel taught?

  do they stand on that or do they feel they were chosen later under rutherford?

  if they accept that russel was chosen and rutherford changed things up, wouldn't rutherford be an apostate?.

  quietlyleaving, I also read "In Search of Christian Freedom" I would like to give him that book too, but only if he accepts COC and reads it. One book at a time, I just hope he reads the first one then go from there.

  I am not planning on doing this till school lets out, over the summer vacation when he could find the time to read it.

  leavingthewt, wow, you make a good point, never thought of it that way, not feeling the pain enough to question or doubt. It is maddening!

  quietlyleaving, if you threw away the first copy of COC, and a few months later ordered it and read it, what made you want to read it? The fact that your were told not to read it, or just plain couriosity?

  B_Deserter, That's good to hear, but your friend was disfellowshiped for 9 yrs. That helps, he was more out then in, but still the book released him from beliving in the lie.

  I think my kids are the moderate jw. They like the thought of paradise earth, they go to meetings, but in every other aspect they are like the worldly people. All their friends are outside the WT. They listen to music the WT would not approve of. They like to go out to worldy clubs, dance and drink. They participate in sports. My daughters best friend, not a jw, has a mouth like a sailor.

  Sometimes I think they just want to keep peace with his mom and step dad. Step dad is an elder, mom is a pioneer and extreme. My son in law is more relaxed about it, my daughter has told me before that anything off the internet is apostate. He would probably accept the book but my daughter may take offense.

  lw, I do think my son in law thinks for himself, I don't think he is completely under the WT controll. I can tell you this much, he is a coach, he love's his job and if they would make that a WT offense, he would leave before he would give up coaching.
