WOW, OnTheWayOut, that your mother had to ask an elder about it, that really show's the control the WT has over her thinking for herself. I feel if I send it anonymously, I would not know how they would react, I would rather see the response to it, it it would be negative or positive. Maybe, being that I am not a jw, they would just look at it like its, ignorance on my part that I just don't understand the religion. If they take that approach, maybe they would set it aside but not throw it out. If they set it aside, maybe one day they would be tempted to pick it up and read some of it.

My heart starts beating fast at just the thought that it could be a negative response.

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?.

Possible-san, I wish I could read Japanese, I would love to read your web page. I like the cover of your websight and it does speak of what is not told verbally.

thanks!

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!

by Witness 007 in

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.

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!
