I read your post Thomas. Brave and I hope my ending is decent and civil. I just want them to understand that from suposed 'truths and words from God' that came to be untrue, false, and deceiving that I cannot follow or beleive what the WT writes or says. I still beleive in God, just want to be civil and be able to talk to them. She is soooooo devout!

Wanting to talk to my mom
by lostsheep82 inso now that i've read as much as i could in the last 2 months and made my decision that this isn't the organization i thought it was, i'm scared, terrified, and feel helpless in some ways.
my mom is a devout jw, a pioneer, her husband of the 'anointed', and they are very 'spiritually strong'.
i'm wanting to compile a mini book to send to her with all the reasons and proof from wt books and magazines with quotes and stuff.

So now that I've read as much as I could in the last 2 months and made my decision that this isn't the organization I thought it was, I'm scared, terrified, and feel helpless in some ways. My mom is a devout JW, a pioneer, her husband of the 'anointed', and they are VERY 'spiritually strong'. I'm wanting to compile a mini book to send to her with all the reasons and proof from WT books and magazines with quotes and stuff. At that time I'm going to tell her how much I love her and in conclusion that I don't want to be a JW anymore.
Is there any suggestions, particular articles, or things I should be careful of when writing to her? This is going to be a book I tell ya, but my point of doing it is so that she at least UNDERSTANDS where I'm coming from and why I dont want to anymore. Do you think it will work? I know she wont leave, but I want her to at least talk to me, and I'm assuming this letter will be an automatic DA. I have an aunt and uncle as well that I want to send the same copy to....do you think this is a good idea?
Anyone have luck with confronting JW relatives on this?
I'm so lost finding out all this, but my mom means the world to me, and she is a mess that I'm probably not coming back. (I've hinted that I dont beleive it anymore) and she just says its a shame I let Satan in my heart....
Any suggestions? -

My lesbian neighbors are driving me nuts!
by dawg inok my gay friends, i'm going to pick on you a minute, but you know i love you all... .
me... liberal male, could care less what you do with your sex organs, i only care about what i do with mine...that said, i've several gay friends... none of which are monogamous.
so, my next door neighbors are lesbians, neither are the hate all males types like some i have known in the past... matter of fact, one loves sports and hangs out here watching football and other sports with me at least once a week.

Speaking from a lesbian myself....I'd confront the cheater and give her an ultimatum. She either tells or you say something. Really it isn't any of your business, but it makes no difference gay or straight, cheating is cheating. No matter what it hurts. I have had many friends cheat of friends...must be a lesbian thing...but I would always tell the one being cheated on, because in my 'straight' relationship I was cheated on and it isn't fun...I'd rather know and move on... Doesn't really sound like they are in love anyway, or "meant to be". Good luck:)

This is the second part.

I agree with you tho he doesn't at all prove ANYTHING regarding 1914. However if you google Tunguska 1908 you will find alot of interesting takes. Some eyewitnesses say they saw a body decend from heaven. I don't beleive that! But it's interesting anyways. IF that was Jesus, I think he would have made his presence known worldwide don't you think, for Everyone to see??
This is the Wikipedia site describing some of it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event

Hypocritical quote from article on Watchtower.org
by drew sagan inwas looking at watchtower.org when i came across this paragraph: when one falsely shouts "fire!
" in a crowded theater and some are trampled to death in the wild stampede to get out, must not the shouter bear the responsibility for the resulting deaths and accidents?
when someone says, "i do not agree with what you say, but i will defend your right to say it," are you given carte blanche, unlimited freedom, to say publicly whatever you wish, regardless of the consequences?
