Talked with Old High School buddy after 30 years - I apologized
by flipper inthis was something i was wanting to do for a long time .
i knew this friend as far back as elementary school, we played tennis together in high school , played music and sang together in his band a little.
a very nice guy who i was close to until age 19. but because of my jehovah's witness upbringing it changed at 19.. long story short, although my witness parents allowed me to associate with this friend and other non-witness friends, in 1979, my then fanatic witness fiance laid the law down to me that we could not have any non-witness friends at our wedding.

Very happy to hear you made amends. It had to be a great feeling to restore this friendship.

Memorial Invite Almost Got The Cops Called...
by PanzerZauberei inso, i was minding my own business washing the family laundry and talking with my youngest son when a jw (without a tie) comes into the laundromat and starts passing memorial invitations around.
mostly poor illegal aliens besides me and my son were who the folks were from what i could tell.
well they all accepted them and chatted with him a bit and i was just trying to avoid him because for some reason i get really mad when these people get near me.. well here he comes and asks if i speak spanish, so i lie to end the thing quickly and tell him no.

Welcome RA, I am not a jw but I do have family in and this forum is wonderful and helpful. Hang on to the WT literatrue, some of those old books are going for high dollar on ebay. It's also proof of how they changed over the years.

Want to Introduce myself....Hi everyone.
by ilovelamp120 inhi all, i've been reading here for awhile and made a few posts before realizing i should probably introduce myself.
it's so refreshing to read ppl's thoughts on these topics, which run deeply personal, and i've never been able to express myself freely, so thanks for such a great forum.. i was born and raised a dub, by my "spiritually single" mother (dad was an unbeliever..still is) me and my 3 other siblings all fell away before getting baptised, other than my older sis, who was df'd at 16. unfortunatley in my early 20's a sister "took an interest in me and we had a bible study for 2 years before getting baptized at 24.
(what a regret) since then i floundered, flopped, got df'd a year later for dum, dum, dum..."fornication and then reinstated 9 months later.

Passwordprotected, Why do any of us have to be baptized into a certain religion? If you and your wife are both Christian, why can't you baptize each other? It's a commitment to God, why does it have to be done by a chruch? Just courious

Cadellin, You just don't know what a pleasure it is to welcome a newcomer, to me it means another jw has had an awakening. Makes me hopeful for my family.
Very interested in reading what caused you to wake up to the lie of the WT.

If my children had to listen to this at service today and not question this, they have to be asleep during the talk or daydreaming or just in a daze. They can not possibly buy into this nonsense.
If I can't approach my children about this mind controlling cult, maybe if I wait a little bit longer, the WT will do it for me.

Have any of you just handed the book COC to a jw friend or relative?
by cawshun inif so, how did it go over, good or bad?

Coffee Black, How awful your dad had to die because of a belief that was changed 2 yrs. later. That is criminal and the WT should have been held responsible. That would have been enough for me to question everything about the WT. Good thing you had your own complete library to look back on.
Thank you for sharing your experience and how COC helped you. It's stories like this that make me want to take the chance and just offer it to my son-in-law.
Piercing, I am happy to read that your friend was open to reading COC, and that it had a postive affect on him. Again, one reason I think I need to give the book to my sil.
I would love to read more favorable reactions to passing the book on to a friend or family member, I will hold out hoping for more to respond to this post and see if there are more postive then negative reactions to passing the book on.
