when i saw the title of this i had to check it out.
the very first one is a pet peeve of mine (esau and jacob.).
75 bible questions your instructor pray's you wont ask.
i started my own magazine campaign here in town.
i printed out some labels that say:.
are pedophiles knocking.
I HAVE LEFT ARTICLES THAT I PRINTED FROM SILENT LAMBS AND LEFT THEM IN MY DOCTORS OFFICE NEXT TO THE RAG MAGIZNES FROM THE JW. WHEN BY BROTHER-IN-LAW HAD HIS OPEN HEART SURGERY AT THE LOCAL VETERANS HOSPITAL I FOUND SOME MAGAZINES AND THREW THEM IN THE GARBAGE RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY HUSBAND. YOU WOULD BE SUPRISED THE NUMBER OF JW'S THAT ACTUALLY USE THE VA FACILITY FOR MEDICAL HELP. I SAW A WOMEN WITH A BIBLE AND ALL OF HER STUDY MATERIAL, COULDN'T HELP BUT LAUGH AT HER. HERE SHE IS A GOVERMENT HOSPITAL AND HER JW HUSBAND IS GETTING ALL OF HIS MEDICAL CARE FOR FREE. THEY USE THIS SYSTEM ALL THEY CAN AND THEN TALK AGAINST IT WHEN GOING DOOR TO DOOR. WOULD YOU CALL THAT A LITTLE WIERD.
i have been lurking on here for some time and i finally decided to join the fray.
i am 25 years old and was raised in the society.
fortunately when i was 8, my father left the organization and this allowed me to see the wrold from both angles, the jw (mom) and not (dad).. at first, i was strongly on the side of the witnesses and i even allowed myself to be convinced that getting baptised at 11 was a good idea.

been almost 8 months since posting...peeked a little -- but i was becoming consumed by the big "w".
my wife's the jw, but i hold the hatetred!
i had to back away...since then i've managed to remove old publications(she stores them now), i'm an opposer now, so i've not really had any elder contact, she's still doing bs & fs, but not much talk.
It is hard to live in a situation where you feel alone all the time. Try doing it for about 38 years. I did attend the hall from 1974 to 1983. Walked out and never went back. Money is very tight for many people, but they sure can suck it out of you. We are on a fixed income, but my husband's contribution has never changed. The same amount every year. The organizaion is her husband, just as it is my husband's wife. That is all they live for, meetings, service and study. You might want to ask your wife to look at page 221 on the new book they are studying. It talks about spiritual endagerment. It say that if they feel they are in spiritual danger they can get a legal seperation. I know the Bible says if you cannot live in peace to seperate, but now they put the word LEGAL in front of it. If these women leave their husbands, who is going to support them? The welfare system???????????? Who will pay their legal fees???? Believe me DC these people have sucked the brains out of both of our mates. I told my husband two years ago that soon they will get rid of all mates who do not believe. Well it looks like that is what is happening. Don't remove her books and magazines. You are just adding fuel to the fire, or this may be part of the spiritual endagerment.
my husband lost his father last saturday.
the funeral was tuesday in a catholic church and he would not go to the service.
he stayed outside while his children were inside.
My husband lost his father last Saturday. The funeral was Tuesday in a Catholic church and he would not go to the service. He stayed outside while his children were inside. I only went for the viewing of the body and then left because I knew he wouldn't go in. When his mom died he walked out of the church and left me by myself. I felt like a fool everyone saw him leave. What a shame, he doesn't even have any respect for his father. Those JW's are some heartless sick people.
i need to know if anyone out there knows how much the society has.
i was wondering if they are listed on fortune 500. do they have stock in any companies?
real estate holdings?
did you have enough of boasting, and decided to walk out?.
that's what happened to me during this week's bs about how to "treat the disfellowshipped"?.
i just picked up my bag and stormed out...... will i get called into the back room?.
Yes, my husband had left us in 1985 and I took my son to the book study. I believe we were studying the Family book. The brother asked a question and my husband answered "If your wife has wants she better want less" I wanted to die. Mind you he was not supporting the family, we were on state welfare. At the end of the meeting the brother asked him to close with prayer. I grabbed my son by the arm and walked out and never went back.
how did you come to the final decision to get out of her (the organization, "mother")?
?.
Love for my children and to get them away from their abusive father who was a elder. The best feeling in the whole world was to grad my son by his arm and walk out before his father finished the ending prayer at the meeting. Eyes should have been bowed, but they all watched me walk out of the hall. When I got into my car, I hit the gas so hard gravel flew all over the place. I may have damaged some cars, but no one said a word. We turned the radio on full blast a sang all the way home. God I loved every minute of it, and so did my son. Welfare mom not getting support from her husband and they let him pray. Hyprocites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the bunch of them.
